<VV> Buick GS400 (NO Corvair)

[Frank DuVal]

The 455 didn't come out until 1970, but if it is a 455 from the 1970 
model year it is a 10:1 compression ration, very rare. Probably a 430. 
Definitely worth advertising a stick shift Buick.

Why would anybody trying to make money on scrap crush this? I know time 
is money and space for the car costs money, but eBay is the place to be. 
A friend here, also a Corvair owner, just bought a Pontiac LeMans rust 
bucket for way over scrap value just to get the 4 speed & interior parts 
that match a stick shift console. Rare and in high demand for baby 
boomers wanting to build a muscle car.

If he is into pulling parts to sell, check out what the shifter 
mechanism is selling for:
