It has factory gauges and a tachometer with auxiliary gauges under the dash (temp, voltage, oil pressure) also a 3-spoke steering wheel on a tilt column. New upholstery on the seats and door panels. Headliner and visors were replaced. Everything from the carpet to the headliner was replaced, it all fits and functions properly too. Riding on mint condition GS mags, wrapped in raised white letter Cooper Cobra radial tires, 295/50 R15 on front and 245/60 R15 on back. UNDERSIDE: The body was off the frame and flipped on a rotisserie. The chassis was stripped down bare, prepped, and powder coated. Every part of the suspension and steering was rebuilt. The brake system was completely restored. New lines, hoses, e-brake assembly. The fuel system was completely replaced- tank, straps, sending unit, and lines. It has a new reproduction exhaust system. Looking up at the engine it is spotless. The trans and all its related parts are spotless. The bottom of the car is restored to look factory-new. What is a Stage 1? It was Buicks top performance package and included the following over and above the GS 455: Larger valves with heavier springs, re-jetted carb, recurved distributor, high lift cam, upgraded oiling system, high volume fuel pump, HD cooling, and a posi. The a/c cars came with 3.42 gears. The odometer shows 26,279. Only 1680 miles on restoration.

About Veits Vettes & Collector Cars

Our cars are specialty cars ...collector cars...award winning original automobiles...show stopping restored autos... and newer highline Specialty cars! We scour the country for those rare gems.

That beautiful Corvette, or Chevy, Ford, Pontiac, Mopar Muscle Car, Restomod, Pro Touring classic, maybe a Survivor that makes you just burst with pride. How about those rare one-off's or super limited production models or the fun micro cars, even the heavy iron cruisers, or sporty modern styles all the way to exotics? We can find anything!

We have collectors all over the world that offer to sell us these cars. In fact that’s how we get most of our cars, from collectors. We avoid auctions whenever possible because we know that’s where sellers take their misrepresented headaches, problems cars they cant sell locally. But when you sell cars of the quality we do, at a price we hope is competitive, as we try to always do, the buying and inventorying becomes particularly hard. We peruse car clubs, newspapers and word of mouth everywhere we go. It's not at all unusual to drive hours out of our way, to look at 1 car. Sometimes, that drive is really worth it. Small towns can have rare gems. You have to look at a lot of cars, in order to buy only a few. That's a lot of crawling in and under to find the right stuff. But that's ok. We're fussy – because our customers expect it of us. They rely on that.

Many of our clients are repeat buyers. They already are lucky enough to have 1 or more "toys" purchased from us. Sometimes they want to add to their collection, sometimes they just want a different one to play with, or they want to trade. Whatever, their reason, we've got the answer. We've got the investment car. You can drive ours right off the floor and enjoy a day in the sun or take them to a car show, with pride. Lots of our cars have won trophies, regionally and nationally for their new owners.

Of course, we get walk-in sellers too. Someone has a car they have grown tired of, or perhaps they inherited a car they really don't want. Perhaps they just need the money. If that's a specialty car - if it's been lovingly cared for, and is either a collector car, a muscle car, exotic, a hot rod, a classic, a foreign, or an antique automobile - be it a sedan convertible, t-top, targa top, hard top, coupe, convertible or roadster...we're interested.

Our customers come from all walks of life and all parts of the world. Most of the time a new client can't physically come to inspect a particular car. That's ok, we'll walk around it and describe it to them, over the telephone and or Facetime. We have a reputation for giving only honest information, when describing our beauties without leaving anything out.

We do have some customers that leave disappointed....Sometimes a customer wants a 'fixer-upper". Sorry, we simply don't carry those. We don't have those "Winter Projects". The closest we can come to that, is a show worthy, drivable, almost perfect car that someone wants to make into a totally flawless show stopper. It will never be allowed to get dusty - not even the engine. Those buyers will feel like they're in a candy store. 

It is our top priority as collectors ourselves, to describe all of our vehicles accurately, to the best of our ability. Even though we scrutinize each car before we buy it, we resell cars, we do not restore or warranty them. Therefore we cannot guarantee any of the claims made by previous owners, their agents, or consigners. We recommend that any individual, contemplating purchasing any used car or collector car- from us or anyone else - to either inspect it themselves, or send a trustworthy individual, to verify that it’s description is accurate. If you have trouble locating such an individual, we will be happy to recommend an impartial, unaffiliated individual or firm to assist you .

Okay, you've dreamt about the car you saw here. You can afford it. You can't stand it - you just gotta have it. But now what? You don't want to drive it all the way home. We'll either ship it to you ourselves, or arrange for shipment via a major enclosed car shipper. These shippers do nothing else but ship cars - of all price ranges. They're good, dependable, careful and fully insured. Drivers tell us constantly how cars being delivered, from other sellers, often bring tears of regret to the new owners. But when they ship OUR cars, the proud new owners are never disappointed!!!! We get phone calls all the time, from our clients telling us their joy at the car being just what we said it was.
