Starting in 1965 the Gran Sport name was applied to several high
performance cars created by Buick. What was interesting about this
marquee is that in the GM line Buick was only surpassed by Cadillac
when it came to comfort and luxury features. Cadillac, however, was
not creating performance models which left this performance luxury
hybrid combo wide open and the Buick Gran Sport was the answer.
This made them the most luxury sports model for GM during this era.
It was initially a trim level applied to Skylarks but around 1967
became its own model. This 1971 GS350 convertible is in great
condition and is basically a fully restored car but just needs a
few final details to finish it off. Only 656 were made making it a
pretty unique muscle car. The body has been stripped down to bare
metal and completely repainted in its original Stratomist Blue with
a Black power convertible top. You will note a small spot of primer
on the passenger door from a small scratch repair that just needs
to be touched up. Matching paint does come with it. The chrome
bumpers have a nice shine and a majority of the original
trim/emblems are in place but there a few remaining to be
installed. Those do however come with the car. In back it has the
N-25 bumper with chrome exhaust tips. The glass on it is all good
with no issues and the top does have a new real glass rear window
that has its own dedicated defroster. The car has a great stance
and rides on a set of factory wheels with Buick center caps and BF
Goodrich Radial T/A tires.
Under the dual scoops on the hood sits the numbers matching 350V8
motor that runs great. It has been completely rebuilt with all new
rods, pistons, etc. It has plenty of power and everything has a
very stock original appearance. It is topped off with the correct
GS 350 air cleaner that meets up to the scoops which are
functional. Paired with the motor is a rebuilt 3 speed automatic
transmission to transfer power back to the stock 10 bolt rear end.
Disc brakes are found up front which are power assisted and it has
power steering as well making it a very comfortable cruiser. The
suspension has also been totally gone through and is new.
The interior upholstery in it is all new and done in Black. It has
the split front bench seat and Black lap belts are in place both in
front and rear. The dash on it needs to be finished out with a new
dash pad but the factory style gauges are all there, wired in and
working properly. The stock 3 spoke steering wheel sits in front of
the driver but does need the original horn button. The trunk is all
finished out with a stock style mat and has plenty of space for all
your car show gear.
This unique classic combines the power and performance of a muscle
car with a touch of class and luxury. You don't see a ton of these
so check it out while it is still available.
