Vehicle Description
The 1969 Buick GS 400 is the ultimate dream muscle car for many of
us. It perfectly blends the worlds of luxury and V8 performance. So
it's time to take notice when you find an exceptionally well
preserved/restored example that has all the right features.
Twilight Poly is one of those shades of blue that has a timeless
appeal, so it's the ideal factory color for this coupe. But the
reason why you especially find it so attractive today is because
this was restored with a professional respray that added a metallic
element for extra radiance. This deep blue complements the white
vinyl top to give the car the appeal of a cresting ocean wave. And
we really love how this year artfully blended grace and power. You
see it in the functional hood louvers, Buick Rallye wheels with
redline tires, and sweeping profile with crisp sheetmetal that
gives this coupe sporty scalloped sides. Plus, this was one of the
final years before chrome bumpers had to sacrifice style for
federal regulation. Especially in the rear, where the freshly
re-dipped chrome bumper creates an entire panel that's crafted to
integrate the angular rear fenders and trunk. This is truly a
thoughtful muscle machine.
Inside is the same upscale performance attitude. The
factory-correct Pearl color of the interior look amazing thanks to
plenty invested during restoration, and it really pops against the
newer black carpeting. You'll also love the details, like how the
AM radio is still on display with its cool B-U-I-C-K preset
buttons. This has all the right space and comfort to take family
and friends along for the ride, and there's even factory air
conditioning. While this is luxurious, you'll love the performance
pieces like Buick's X2 Rallye steering wheel, center console, and
iconic horseshoe shifter.
Under the hood is a year-correct 400 cubic-inch V8. It's believed
to be original to the car, and those who know Buicks will spot all
the right details. It's dressed correctly with the genuine fresh
air intake, correct GS 400 air topper, and even the correct bright
red block radiating power from within the dark engine bay. Plus,
there are receipts totaling over $6,600 for a recent rebuild of
this V8. The mighty motor fires up with gusto as it inhales deeply
through the Rochester four-barrel carburetor. It exhales with
authority thanks to a newer dual exahust. The V8 has serious power
that made these Buicks a force to be reckoned with. And making sure
that power gets to the ground is a stout TH400 three-speed
automatic transmission. Add that to the power steering and power
brakes w/discs up front, and you've got a thundering muscle car
that also has everyday sensibilities.
Buick's muscle cars were more expensive than the mainstream, and so
finding one this restored and complete today is a rare sight. Make
sure you don't miss this opportunity on such a sharp car. Call
today!!!
