Worldwide Vintage Autos is pleased to present this 1969�Buick GS
455.�Must See!�
HISTORY
In 1968 and 1969 Buick offered the GS 400 in a convertible and
hardtop model. Standard issue of the GS 400 was a 400 cubic inch
(6.6L) engine (with likely lower stated horsepower rating to keep
insurance premiums lower) of 340 horsepower (350�hp stage 1 ) and
440�ft. lbs. torque, a four barrel Rochester Quadrajet carburetor,
dual exhaust, 2.93 standard gear ratio optional ( limited slip
differential, (3.64 stage 1 option, 3.42 with A/C ), and the
available three speed turbo Super Turbine 400 automatic
transmission (revered as the finest automatic transmission ever
built, and commonly called Turbo Hydramatic 400), U-shape Hurst
(automatic transmission) shifter and linkage, located on a center
console. A 1968 or 1969 GS400 equipped with the TH400 auto
transmission was faster off the line than many of its
contemporaries thanks to an unusually "low" 1st gear. Shift pattern
for the TH400 from most forward position is Park, Reverse, Neutral,
Drive, Second, First. A standard 3 spd or optional 4 spd manual
gearbox was also available. Compression ratio on this engine was a
very sensible 10.25:1, which allowed for the use of any grade
gasoline to be used in normal driving without pinging. The factory
air cleaner was covered with a large round chromed cover, secured
with a wing nut. The small air scoop behind the hood hinge-line on
the 1968 model was fake, although it could perhaps technically be
called functional, as it could have bettered the air flow available
to the climate control system. SOURCE: �WIKIPEDIA
