Vehicle Description
1968 Buick GS400
The Gran Sport option was added to the Buick Skylark in 1965 and
offered the largest engine permitted by GM at the time. The Gran
Sport earned its spot in the line up because for the first and
second years more Skylarks were sold with the Gran Sport option
then without. In 1967 it earned a model all its own and became the
GS400. The clean Buick GS 400 convertible you see here is a nice
example of one of these cars and has undergone a complete
restoration. It has belonged to the current owner for the past 5
years and has been very well cared for. The body is very solid and
coated in a nice Mist Green paint that almost looks more Silver in
certain light. There are no notable issues outside of a small chip
on the lower passenger side door. All of the chrome and stainless
steel trim is cleanly mounted in place. All of it is original and
has a really nice shine. It is evident how well the car had been
treated throughout its life and subsequently since the restoration.
It has 93,292 miles on it now and was restored at 90,000 so the
build is still very fresh. All of the glass on it is original as
well and also in good condition. Paired with the paint is a Black
power convertible top that works properly. The car has a nice
stance and rides on its original wheels with Buick center caps.
Under the hood the car features its original 400 ci V8 that has
been totally rebuilt. They were advertised at 325hp but according
to some sources this HP rating was kept purposely low in
publications to avoid higher insurance premiums. Either way, it is
a great running engine with plenty of power. Everything has been
kept very stock appearance including the 400-4 decals on the valve
covers and air cleaner. Backing the motor up is a 3 speed automatic
transmission that shifts smoothly. Underneath the car is all solid
with solid floors and pans throughout. Some recent work done on the
car is a new power brake booster, new battery and the radiator was
rebuilt.
The interior of the car is in great condition and was redone in
Black upholstery. It has a split bench seat up front and both front
rear seats have matching Black lap belts. The dash has a stock
layout and everything is working except for the fan switch and the
clock. The fan switch doesn't allow you to change the AC fan speed
but the AC does blow cold and works great. The trunk of the car
offers plenty of storage space and it has a nice trunk mat, spare
tire with cover, and jack.
This is a really clean car that runs well and it is being offered
up for a great price. It isn't that often that a nice restored
classic comes up in this price range.
It could be yours for only $25,950.00!
