Vehicle Description
1970 Buick GS 455 Stage 1 Convertible - A Rare Collector's
Dream
"Dull transportation, you've been scorched. Buick introduces
automobiles to light your fire."
For discerning collectors and enthusiasts, few vehicles capture the
muscle car spirit like the 1970 Buick GS 455 Stage 1 Convertible.
With only 46 examples produced, and fewer than 10 finished in the
elegant Silver Mist, this Sloan Museum-documented masterpiece
represents the peak of Buick's performance engineering and luxury
craftsmanship.
Exquisite Restoration
Every inch of this GS 455 Stage 1 Convertible has been meticulously
brought back to life with a body-off chassis nut-and-bolt
restoration. The laser-straight body is adorned in a stunning
Silver Mist finish, polished to concours standards, and accented by
fully restored brightwork that gleams like new. Beneath its
striking exterior lies a painstakingly reupholstered black bucket
seat interior, complete with a center console and a suite of
factory-correct options. The power folding top with a glass rear
window allows open-air affair in style.
Authentic Performance
Under the hood, the 455ci Stage 1 V8 lies in wait with 360
horsepower and a staggering 510 lb-ft of torque-thanks to its
high-lift cam, performance 4-barrel carburetor, and low-restriction
dual exhaust. This beast is backed by an automatic transmission and
a 3.64 Posi-Traction rear axle, delivering breathtaking
acceleration and smooth shifts. Power steering and power brakes,
along with period-correct Firestone redline Wide Oval tires mounted
on 15-inch chrome 5-spoke wheels, make this powerhouse both
thrilling and manageable on the road.
Comfortable Muscle
While the GS 455 Stage 1 is a force of nature, it's also a
sanctuary of luxury. Equipped with factory air conditioning, a tilt
steering column, a factory gauge pack with tachometer, bucket
seats, and an AM/FM radio, this GS is as comfortable as it is
powerful. It's the perfect blend of refinement and raw American
performance, embracing the Buick ethos of delivering muscle without
sacrificing sophistication.
A Rare and Documented Legacy
With its Sloan Museum documentation verifying its authenticity and
rarity, this GS 455 Stage 1 Convertible is more than just a
car-it's an investment in a significant chapter of American
automotive history. Whether displayed as a showpiece or enjoyed on
the open road, this Buick is a throwback to the era when muscle and
luxury coexisted in perfect harmony.
