Vehicle Description
1972 Buick GS 455 (GS 350)-Auto- A/C Owned 40 Years!
For sale is a meticulously maintained and beautifully restored 1972
Buick GS 350, which has been enhanced to a GS 455 with great care
and attention to detail. The second owner of this classic acquired
it four decades ago and has dedicated years to refining and
restoring it to make it as authentic as possible to an original GS
455.
This genuine GS was born with a 350/TH350 automatic, and all the
original warranty protecto-plate information is intact, along with
the dealer plate and trunk plaque from Claborn Buick in Atlanta,
where it was originally purchased. Moreover, you'll find valuable
documentation from the Sloan Museum in Flint, which holds all of
the Buick production records, including the window sticker and
build sheet.
The car comes with a plethora of desirable options, such as power
steering with a quick ratio of 12:1, power disc brakes, and power
windows and locks. The 455 engine has been meticulously rebuilt,
featuring modified Stage 1 heads, while the TH400 transmission has
been rebuilt with a mild shift kit. The air conditioning system has
been updated and converted to r134a, providing cool comfort during
your drives.
Not only is this Buick a beauty to behold, but it also boasts
several performance enhancements. The 15x8 Buick rally wheels are
complemented by a 12-bolt Moser rear end with HD axles and 1350
pinion, ensuring optimal traction and reliability. For added
stability, the car features 1 � inch front sway bar, boxed rear
control arms with a 1-inch sway bar, and Elbach 1"lowering springs
both front and rear.
Inside, you'll find a blend of classic style and modern
convenience. The cabin features bucket seats and a console, along
with a Retro Sound AM/FM radio equipped with Bluetooth and
auxiliary inputs, allowing you to enjoy your favorite tunes during
your journeys.
The attention to detail extends to the performance and maintenance
aspects, as the car is equipped with MSD ignition, a Holley Sniper
Quadrajet carburetor on the factory jet manifold, a Holley in-tank
fuel pump, and a new stock exhaust system and mufflers.
To ensure a smooth and safe ride, the front end has been rebuilt
with all-new bushings, ball joints, tie rods, center link, and
idler arm, providing peace of mind for the road ahead.
As a bonus, the original Buick 350 engine and TH350 transmission
(matching numbers) come with the car if desired, giving the new
owner the option to preserve the car's original powertrain.
With its extensive documentation, comprehensive restoration, and
stunning appearance, this 1972 Buick GS 455 is ready to turn heads
and provide a driving experience that combines nostalgia with
modern-day comforts. Don't miss the opportunity to own this
exceptional piece of automotive history.
