Matching Engine and Transmission. More Details Below of what an
exceptional car these Buick GS's are and how scarcely available
they have become.David Dunbar Buick was one of the earliest
individuals to experiment with internal combustion engines during
the 1890s. Inventing a process for permanently coating cast iron
with enamel which allowed the production of 'white' bathtubs at a
lower cost, earned him a great fortune. He started three successive
companies to produce cars and only the third of which was
successful and eventually became the Buick Motor Company. William
C. Durant later gained control of the company and used it as the
platform to build General Motors. Like many other marques, Buick
participated aggressively in the late 1960s and early 1970s in the
muscle car scene. Buick used its midsized Skylark and added a 455
cubic-inch engine with a bigger carburetor, special cam and heads
and ram air induction to produce 360 horsepower and 510 foot-lbs of
torque. The result was the GS Stage I, which also featured a
special hood and side panel stripes, distinctive padded steering
wheel and a rear spoiler. The GS became known as a 'gentleman's
muscle car' or 'sleeper' with legendary torque that made it one of
the most powerful muscle cars of the time. This particular GS has
been restored and well maintained as it shows in attention to
detail and cleanliness throughout. Interior is in excellent and
functioning condition and the undercarriage stripped and refinished
in like new condition. This is a very well conceived and executed
restoration that all would be proud to own.
