Vehicle Description
The 1972 Buick GS 455 convertible is an ultra-rare example of one
of the last true muscle car drop-top around. So the big V8, cool
blue style, and easy cruiser attitude all come together for a
classic you can collect and enjoy.
The GS 455 straddled the line between a premium Buick and a
tire-burning muscle car, and this one shows off that feeling well.
Form-hugging chrome bumpers, Rallye wheels, and functional,
fresh-air hood scoops are quite attractive. The deep blue paint is
something you don't see too often, so it gives this one some added
sophistication. And while the finish has a good gloss, nothing here
ever gets too fancy that you wouldn't take it out on some fresh
blacktop. And a convertible is always a great car to take out on a
sunny Sunday, and you'll also likely stop by a cars & coffee or
cruise-in event just because we all deserve to see a 1972 GS
convertible. It was the last time the GS was its standalone model
name and the last time it was a convertible. It's also
exceptionally rare, with only about 850 examples made.
The black roof is a well-fitting price that you can tell was given
a proper investment, and with the flip of a switch, it powers down
to reveal a handsome black interior. Good carpeting, clean
upholstery, and nice door panels give this a solid and inviting
appearance. If you want a full cruiser, you can restore the factory
A/C or install a modern radio, but overall, it's already an
attractive driver's package. There's a fold-down center armrest for
bucket-like comfort up front. You also have a tilt steering column,
sporty round gauges, and an upgraded Grant GT sports steering
wheel.
Buick's 455 cubic-inch V8 is one of the best from the muscle car
era. This one gets even better with enhancements like an Edelbrock
four-barrel carburetor, an Edelbrock aluminum intake, a Mallory HEI
distributor, and long tube headers feeding the dual exhaust. The
numbers-matching TH400 three-speed automatic transmission is a
stout unit built to handle the power. And the rear suspension has
boxed rear arms and a sway bar. Plus, you have power steering,
power brakes, and front discs to make sure this powerful drop-top
is an easy all-around cruiser.
Rare, distinct, and powerful, this is the last of the true GS 455
muscle convertibles. It's a special classic ready to get you some
attention. Call now!
