1974 BUICK GS 455
History
The Gran Sport name has been used on several high-performance cars
built by Buick since 1965. In the GM brands hierarchy, Buick was
surpassed in luxury and comfort appointments only by Cadillac,
which did not produce performance models. As a result, the Buick GS
series were the most opulently equipped GM sport models of their
era.

The 1974 Buick Gran Sport 455 we have for sale at Skyway Classics
is one of the last true factory big block muscle cars you could
ever get back in the mid-60's. It has a 455 cubic inch engine that
enabled it to run A 15.2 second � mile and could go from 0-60 mph
in 8.9 seconds. Not bad for the era.

that was rated at 225 horsepower with360 ft/lbs torque and a Turbo

been driven only 68,000 original miles.
It is highly optioned and has The Original smog pump in place,
Power front disc brakes, Functional factory gauges, Air
conditioning, and rides on factory painted Special wheels and BF
Goodrich Radial TA tires.

for reproduction parts yet.
The options include power windows, air conditioning, tilt steering,

steering wheel, AM/FM radio, Saddle bucket seats with center
console, and the Owners manual.
