Vehicle Description
A 1969 Buick GS clone like this is a great choice because it has
the big 455 V8 with performance components, beautiful paint, and a
premium Buick interior... and since it's a tribute car, you get it
all for quite an affordable price.
From the outside you can tell you're looking at something special.
1969 was arguably the best year for these Buicks. Swoopy sheetmetal
and sharp ends came together for the kind of intricate design they
wouldn't dare try today. This one has the right amount of chrome in
all the right places. The brightwork on the bumper and grille
surround the angular front; in back the bumper helps give this
coupe a wing-swept look; and the chrome on the induction hood scoop
helps highlight the aggressive nature of the GS packaging. All of
this combined gives the right amount of 1960s feel without
distracting from the bodywork. This one's particularly special
because the gray has a nice modern feel that gives the coupe a
tough image, but when the sunlight hits it, the clearcoat really
makes it pop with excitement. It's the perfect way to showcase the
Grand Sport's dual sporty and luxurious nature. And those red
triple stripes on the rockers are not just there because they match
the GS badging.
Open the door, and the red accent of the exterior is now the main
color of the interior, for a very nicely coordinated total package.
There's comfortable seating for six on the fresh red vinyl seats.
This feeling of quality continues on the matching door panels,
carpeting, and headliner. These might have been GM's intermediate
size, but in today's world, there is plenty of room for family and
friends. And you'll stay happy even when it's just you going out
for a cruise because some of the best treats are reserved for the
driver. You can fold down the armrest in the split bench for
individual comfort, grab the racy red steering wheel, and be
completely in-tune with what's going on under the hood thanks to
the extra wide factory speedometer package and a SunPro auxiliary
gauge trio.
The feelings of both the aggressive red and premium presentation
are carried on under the hood, too. So grab your sunglasses before
checking out the engine bay, because the heavy investment in
polished components make this V8 look like it radiating power from
the black painted inner walls. All the belts and wires have been
well maintained to add to the show worthiness. Plus, the red block,
radiator piping, and air grabber trim is always an intimidating
touch. And when you look beyond the style, you'll see the substance
of a 455 cubic-inch Buick big block. It has been enhanced with all
the right features like an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor,
Edelbrock Performer intake, aluminum radiator, and headers that
feed a wicked dual exhaust system. You'll have no problem getting
all this power to the ground thanks to GM's stout three-speed
automatic transmission. Add in power steering, front disc brakes,
and the grip BF Goodrich tires on classic Buick Mag wheels, and
you've got a great anytime driving package.
There's a lot of care that went into building this Buick. So you
can call it a GS clone, but we all really know it's much more. Call
