Introduction: Hotter than a housewife watching Fifty Shades of Grey! This is a genuine GS 455 that has the correct engine, factory born red with white interior, and is documented with the original order form. Everything functions as it should, I wouldn't be afraid to drive this car anywhere. Highly detailed and dialed in. When I say detailed I mean it, even the underside is exceptional. This is luxury muscle at its finest!

EXTERIOR: Smoking hot! This exterior speaks for itself! The Fire Red paint was applied with expert precision then polished to a slick and reflective finish. All the GSX striping is painted on and really makes the entire car pop. Looking down the side of the 100% laser straight body you will see nothing but smooth contours and sharp lines. The fit and finish are exceptional. All the panels have been painstakingly aligned square and flush with consistent gaps that are right on the money. The heavy doors do not sag when opened and close easily with a solid thud that sounds like quality. All the moldings fit properly and the remaining brightwork has a magnificent shine. The white power vinyl top has been replaced. The functioning Ram Air Hood with heads-up tachometer looks so tough plus the front and rear spoilers really enhance the profile. The front grille is spotless and the GSX emblem is a cool little touch. The headlights were upgraded with much brighter halogen units. The tail lights look to be original but in fantastic condition. It is rolling on beautiful 15" chrome Buick wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires that compliment the entire ensemble perfectly.

INTERIOR: White and done right! The factory correct Ivory interior has been totally refurbished and looks tremendous. The front bench seat with fold down armrest and adjustable headrests has been nicely reupholstered. The rear seat has been recovered with matching vinyl. Both front and rear are equipped with seatbelts. The door panels have also been redone and are outfitted with power window switches. There is a remote toggle for the driver side mirror. The dash pad was replaced and has no cracks. The gauges look great and the clock is functioning. The power convertible top switch is conveniently located near the shifter. It has a tilt column and good looking steering wheel. The sun visors and carpeting have both been replaced as well.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Pretty and proper! The correct Buick 455 V8 is just glistening. It has a functioning Ram Air Hood and correct dual snorkel air cleaner. Everything looks fresh with nice red paint, new belts, hoses, alternator, power steering pump, brake master and power booster too. The wiper motor was also replaced, squirters are hooked up, horns are hooked up, and the battery is properly secured. The radiator looks like it was replaced or rebuilt and even has its correct overflow bottle. The fender wells and firewall have been neatly painted satin black. The original cowl tag is in place. The hinges were restored and the bottom of the steel hood is complete with insulation.

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Clean and complete! The underside of the trunk lid and jamb are painted nice and glossy just like the body. The weatherstrip was replaced, latch mechanism refurbished, and it also has reproduction stickers. Inside is all solid and rust-free metal with a neatly applied spatter finish paint. It is also equipped with a full size spare tire, hold down, jack assembly, and vinyl trunk mat.

UNDERSIDE: Dazzling and detailed! All the steering components look new and have been replaced including the steering gearbox by Steeda. The front suspension looks fresh with replaced shocks and springs, it also has a sway bar. The rear suspension was also redone with new springs and shocks and a sway bar too. It is equipped with front power disc brakes plus the master cylinder, brake booster and all the lines were replaced as well. The emergency brake is even hooked up. The entire dual exhaust system was redone and purrs like a lion. The gas tank was replaced and has new lines too. Looking up at the engine is satisfying with all the fresh red paint and lots of new components. The numbers matching Turbo 400 automatic transmission was gone through, it has a new pan, linkage, and trans mount. The rebuilt drive shaft leads back to a fresh looking 10 bolt posi rear end. The floors are nice and smooth, rust-free metal that have a neatly applied coat of semi-gloss black paint.

SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and reputation. Therefore, we built a 2 million dollar, 10,000 square foot service center, and hired a team of technicians to service the essentials on every car we sell.

CONCLUSION: Even in our showroom full of breathing classic cars, this one stands out! A documented GS convertible with a 455 and lots of luxuries plus the desirable colors, outstanding fit, and all the fine details attended to, this car is an absolute winner! Sizzle sizzle!
