Our Detroit Showroom is proud to offer this amazing 1969 Buick GS
400 Stage 1. The Stage 1 was a bit of a humble legend in the muscle
car world when it arrived. Although its GM brethren motor divisions
were producing cars like GTO, Chevelle SS and 4-4-2's, that didn't
mean Buick was standing pat. In fact, the GS 400 got standard
functional hood scoops for '69, something none of its
higher-profile corporate siblings had. The "Cool Air" induction
system used a twin-snorkel air cleaner with two foam muffs that
sealed against the scoop openings. Some local circles even dubbed
the car "The Judge Killer". New for 1969 were the Stage 1 and Stage
2 options on these iconic muscle cars. Stage 1 boosted output to
345 bhp. It had a high-lift cam, 11.0:1 compression instead of
10.25:1, a special carburetor and fuel pump, and larger
low-restriction exhausts. The original, numbers matching engine for
this GS Stage 1 sits on an engine stand and will come with the GS
if you decide to add this beauty to your collection. Currently
under the hood is a 1971 455cid that has been completely rebuilt to
Stage 1 specs with roughly 10,000 miles on the overhaul. Power is
paired to a TH400 floor mounted automatic and spins the 3:42 Posi
rear end to translate power to pavement. This GS 400 Stage 1 is
only 1 of 832 automatic's ever built and with power steering and
power brakes, it makes this muscle car a blast to drive. All brake
components have been addressed and rebuilt for reliability and
drivability. You can confidently drive this Buick anywhere although
its main use was as a fair-weather cruiser. The GS 400 Stage 1 is
dressed in Crystal Blue which accents all of the restored chrome
with a touch of luxury and class. The interior is a place of
comfort just as Buick intended and provides great options like tilt
wheel and extremely comfortable bucket seats with a console. Buick
rallyes look mirror like and even the clock works on this beauty.
