Vehicle Description
Buick fans, rejoice! After years of living in the shadows of
Chevelles and GTOs, the muscular Buick GS is finally getting some
love. This awesome 1967 Buick GS 400 includes a numbers-matching
400 cubic inch V8, lots of options, a terrific color combination,
and delivers exactly the kind of luxurious performance you'd expect
from Buick.
Repainted once in its original code C Arctic White about 20 years
ago, this GS 400 still has a fantastic look and a stunning air of
authenticity about it. Take a look at the sheetmetal, which looks
to be 100% original to the car, since this car has always been a
cherished toy, never a daily driver. Buick's dramatic sweeping
character line that neatly bisects the doors is razor-sharp, and
the crisp, clear white paint looks great on a car designed to go
fast. A pair of subtle hood scoops and faux gills on the front
fenders are intended to make the GS stand apart, but not in a loud
way, and it definitely works. Red pinstripes add a racy touch and
tie in neatly with the red highlights in the grille without looking
over-done. Chrome remains original and outstanding, with bright
bumpers, shiny stainless, and correct badging, including the cool
GS 400 emblems that serve as a very subtle warning that this car
isn't your grandfather's Buick.
The handsome code 193B Yellow bucket seat interior is exceptionally
well presented, and we've seen far more expensive cars that didn't
look this good inside. It's similar to Pontiac Parchment, which is
definitely a good thing, and it works extremely well with the
bright white bodywork. Both seats wear handsomely styled upholstery
that looks very upscale, and the foam underneath is firm and
comfortable. The black carpets are deep and rich with virtually
zero wear, and only the armrests on the door panels give away their
age with some very light discoloration. The standard Buick
instrument panel is full of gauges, all of which are fully
functional, and as a Buick, this one also carries factory A/C
that's fully functional thanks to an R134a refrigerant upgrade. The
original AM radio is still in the dash for style's sake, but a
modern AM/FM/CD head unit is neatly installed underneath, so it's
ready to cruise. Even more impressive is the trunk, which offers a
correct mat, original-style spatter paint, and a full-sized spare
tire with original cover. Nice!
Buick's big claim to fame was torque, and the matching-numbers 400
cubic inch V8 under the hood certainly delivers. With 340
horsepower thanks to a 4-barrel carburetor, it's the perfect
luxury/muscle powerplant. Smooth, refined, yet deadly on the
street, it delivered everything Buick promised, along with
legendary durability. The ultra-clean engine bay is a road map for
historians and restorers, with all the factory details intact.
There's bright Dante Red paint on the block, one of the coolest air
cleaners in history, and unique ribbed valve covers, so it looks
the part of a performance motor. Power steering and power brakes
were definitely part of the Buick recipe, along with a bulletproof
TH400 3-speed automatic transmission and 10-bolt rear end. A
Flowmaster dual exhaust system has been fitted and sounds suitably
tough, but not too aggressive (this is a Buick, after all). Floors
are impressive and it rolls on original Buick road wheels wearing
215/70/14 BFGoodrich T/A radials.
Documentation even includes the original window sticker,
Protect-O-Plate, manuals, and even the dealer invoice. This GS is a
fantastic opportunity that will pay big once everyone else realizes
how cool Buicks really are. Call today!
