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. Currently under the hood is a Stage 1 400
which appears to be the #s matching engine, that has been
completely rebuilt with invoices on the overhaul. The Protect-O-
Plate is included with this Buick and it also includes the dealer
copy of the order sheet. Power is paired to a TH400 floor mounted
automatic and spins the 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, power brakes, and air conditioning
it makes this muscle car a blast to drive. 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 white with a
white vinyl top which accents all of the 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 the clock is just about the only thing not working on this
beauty. If you've been looking for an iconic muscle car that you
can drive and enjoy, this is likely your best candidate. Check it
