HISTORY
In 1968 and 1969 Buick offered the GS 400 in a convertible and
hardtop model. Standard issue of the GS 400 was a 400 cubic inch
(6.6L) engine (with likely lower stated horsepower rating to keep
insurance premiums lower) of 340 horsepower (350�hp stage 1 ) and
440�ft. lbs. torque, a four barrel Rochester Quadrajet carburetor,
dual exhaust, 2.93 standard gear ratio optional ( limited slip
differential, (3.64 stage 1 option, 3.42 with A/C ), and the
available three speed turbo Super Turbine 400 automatic
transmission (revered as the finest automatic transmission ever
built, and commonly called Turbo Hydramatic 400), U-shape Hurst
(automatic transmission) shifter and linkage, located on a center
console. A 1968 or 1969 GS400 equipped with the TH400 auto
transmission was faster off the line than many of its
contemporaries thanks to an unusually "low" 1st gear. Shift pattern
for the TH400 from most forward position is Park, Reverse, Neutral,
Drive, Second, First. A standard 3 spd or optional 4 spd manual
gearbox was also available. Compression ratio on this engine was a
very sensible 10.25:1, which allowed for the use of any grade
gasoline to be used in normal driving without pinging. The factory
air cleaner was covered with a large round chromed cover, secured
with a wing nut. The small air scoop behind the hood hinge-line on
the 1968 model was fake, although it could perhaps technically be
called functional, as it could have bettered the air flow available
to the climate control system.
Like all of the GM versions of this body style in this period, the
convertible chassis was considerably more robust that the hardtop
version. In fact, the convertible chassis was a full box frame
chassis that had numerous lightening holes. The hardtop chassis was
a 3/4 box frame with no lightening holes. The only GM hardtop ever
built with the "Swiss cheese" convertible chassis was the GTO
Judge. Same chassis. All of the GS400 convertibles were built at
GM's Fremont, California assembly line. SOURCE: �WIKIPEDIA
