Tim Scheidegger Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 (edited) I am selling a 1971 Buick GS 455 with an original grill. 2 dr hardtop. Clear title. New windshield and a 1969 Buick GS 400 2 dr hardtop factory 4 speed with bucket seats. They both are project cars and I am not able to complete them. They are in Southern Colorado. I would appreciate input on their value. Thanks Edited September 1, 2022 by Tim Scheidegger (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe_padavano Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Given the info you've provided, the value is somewhere between a million bucks and scrap value. Look, if you want a better answer, provide a LOT more information and tons of photos. The mind reading thing isn't working. And to be honest, the "value determinations" you get for free will be worth every penny. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 What Joe said is correct. You’ve provided zero information, so expect zero useful feedback. If you want real feedback, you need to post a pile of pictures, history of the cars, what level of matching the components are, etc. Otherwise we’re just wasting our time.

Tim, we're happy to help, but as others have mentioned, pictures and additional information are required. The responders surely didn't mean you any disrespect: Some newcomers post on this site but never reply and miss all the excellent insights. Values may be approximate, but they should be helpful. Certainly some people here can give price estimates. Indeed, paid appraisers they often regard as unknowledgeable and unhelpful, so there has to be SOME method of determining value!

rocketraider Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Keep scrolling down forums to Buick forums. There's a GS subforum in there along with postwar Buick. The Buick guys will have a better handle on these. Have these always been Colorado desert cars? Minor to no rust is always a big selling point on that era GM A-body cars, even if they're parts cars.

60FlatTop Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 You will find that most old people never want to talk about how much they paid or how much they sold anything for. Big secret, hush, hush, and all that. To the extent of being comical about it. All you will get is speculation. At times I have talked to sellers who didn't have a price. I asked them what they would buy if they had some extra money. Sometimes I have said "I will give you the money for that in exchange for the car". Once a guy told me he would spend extra cash on a new roof for his garage, about $2,000. I offered that for his Cadillac. Pre-cellphone days, I drove the whole 90 miles home hoping he had not left a message accepting my offer. Luckily he didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68LTD Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Agree, pics and more info would be nice, but I say the 71 is some 10-12, 69 same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
