Originally advertised by Buick as a car that would “light ones fire,” this exciting Buick Gran Sport has recently received a thorough restoration that was completed over a five-year period. Out of the 10,148 GS badged cars that Buick built in 1970, only 1,416 were convertibles such as this car. The GS is powered by the big-block 454-cid, 350-hp V-8 engine with a high-lift cam, big four-barrel carburetor and low-restriction dual exhaust. This engine is mated to an automatic transmission that is mounted in the center console between bucket seats. The GS is further enhanced with functional hood scoops, heavy-duty suspension, pushbutton radio, remote driver’s side mirror; power top, steering and brakes. It is quite fast and considered a true American musclecar. It looks the part, displaying its uncluttered lines in Matador Red with white interior and convertible top, and it also sports the factory chromed steel sport wheels wrapped with Goodyear Polyglas GT tires. The restoration has been finely executed and this level of quality is seen throughout, including the nearly spotless engine compartment. The Buick displays approximately 22,000 miles, which are believed to be correct. Only 435 test miles have been driven since the completion of the restoration.
