Vehicle Description
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this rare and exclusive 1968
Buick GS 350 California. When initially released it was only
marketed in California. Buick touted the California model as "The
Distinctive Personal Car for Americana on the GO". The intent of
the GS 350 California was to provide the visual impact of the era's
super cars with the low maintenance and price of a more economical
car, while maintaining reasonable performance levels. It is
equipped with the new for 1968 350ci V8 4 barrel producing 280hp
and 375lb.ft. of torque mated to a 2-speed Super Turbine 300
automatic transmission driving a 3.23 gear. The California model
was only available with the automatic. The exterior received the
full treatment including vinyl top, chrome molding package, GS
emblems, and special California scripts. This model was only sold
in California for the 1967 model year and then sold nationally in
1968 and 1969. Buick advertised the car nationally as a high
performance family sports car at an economy car price. Though the
car was not included in Buick's yearly catalog, it was shown in a
two-page black and white fold out brochure. Between '67-'69 only
9,982 GS 350 California's were produced in total with 4,831 of
those in 1968.
This 1968 Buick GS California comes by way of California originally
and it shows. The body is straight and the lines are tight. The
landau top is in excellent condition and provides a nice contrast
against deep green paint. The car's trim is intact, and in
excellent condition. The cream interior is very clean and original.
Some other features are, power steering, A/C, heat, bucket seats,
chrome wheels, all GS and California ornamentation, and an AM/FM
cassette player. The car sounds fantastic, and drives great. This
rare and very clean example will not last long.
