It's a shame so many enthusiasts overlook the Buick GS when shopping for an A-body toy. Chevelle and GTO, sure, but everyone seems to forget that the big Buicks, like the GS455 and especially the 455 Stage 1, made more torque than any other gasoline engine GM built until the arrival of the latest supercharged Corvette ZR1.
By 1972, compression was down, but the Buick was still a strong performer as the GS nailed 14-second quarter mile times at better than 100 MPH. And it did so while loaded with luxury features that were not available on its corporate cousins.
Needless to say, this GS has no rust and gorgeous Cortez Gold paint which looks fantastic on the Skylark's handsome sheet metal, which is so perfectly proportioned that it's quite likely impossible to make it look bad.
Everything is almost like new including the fully functional and restored super cold factory AC just what you need in the summer months.
The following body and chassis items are fully restored and/or new: frame/chassis, body, vinyl top, glass, paint, chrome trim, sport mirrors, door handles, suspension, brake system, fuel system, power steering, wheels, tires, The vinyl top has a few small visible air bubbles under the vinyl.
Although this Buick did not leave the factory in Fremont California with a Stage 1 engine and transmission it did receive an upgrade of a new more powerful 1971 455 CID Stage 1 engine and matching OW Stage 1 THM400 automatic transmission from the Olds W30 and only used on early 1971 Stage 1 Buick cars, The engine and transmission sport matching serial number on both is 041Z102043 and were confirmed by the Buick Stage 1 Registry as original to a 1971 Stratomist Blue GSX. The drive shaft, U joints, 10 Bolt rear with Eaton 3.08 Positraction rear axel are all new and along with the engine and transmission has only about 600 miles of use.
The fuel tank, fuel lines, fuel pump are all new, the Stage 1 carburetor is fully restored. Even the evaporative system was restored like new. The bumpers, bumper guards and license plate bracket are all re-chromed but there are some underside imperfections in the chrome. The bumper brackets and rubber bumper strips have been replaced with new rubber. All exterior lights, reflectors, stainless steel trim has been polished and detailed like new. The radiator, radiator fan, fan clutch, AC evaporator, X brackets, alternator, starter are new or rebuilt. The alternator is a 75 Amp unit installed to keep up with the upgraded Kenwood stereo and amplified sound system.
The following interior items are new, restored like new or re-chromed: headliner, carpet, package tray, dash pad, dash front, re-chromed gauge and radio bezels, re-chromed and detailed heat/AC vents, heat/AC unit, tilt steering column, repainted pillar trim, detailed rear view mirror, door handles. The AC and heater system is fully restored and operates properly.
Everything is new or restored except the seats, console and door panels which are original and excellent. So you can kick back, turn on the ice cold AC and turn up that new Kenwood stereo and amplifier.
Rare, fast and beautiful, this Buick GS Stage 1 is for the discerning collector who knows the difference between a nice car and a great car. Big block A-body cars remain top-quality investments, and Buicks are starting to see some movement after decades of living in their corporate cousins' shadows.
