1969 Buick GS 400 Stage 1 5644 Miles Antique Gold Poly Hardtop 455 V8 3 Speed Au

Description

The 1969 Buick GS 400 is the ultimate dream muscle car for many of us. It perfectly blends the worlds of luxury and breathtaking performance. It's a special day when you find exceptionally well preserved/restored example that has all the right features. And while there is upgraded power under the hood, the original V8 even still comes with the sale! A Buick in Antique Gold just seems to represent the 1970s perfectly. And the reason why you find it so... attractive today is because this restored coupe was treated to a professional respray that gives a nicer luster than the factory ever could. This hue is the perfect complement to the tan vinyl top. And we really love how this year artfully blended grace and power. You see it in the functional hood louvers, Buick Rallye wheels with redline tires, and sweeping profile with trim that gives this coupe sporty scalloped sides. Plus, this was one of the final years before chrome bumpers had to sacrifice style for federal regulation. Especially in the rear, where the bright one-piece bumper creates an entire panel that's crafted to integrate the angular rear fenders and trunk. See how the pinstripe back there coordinates with the top? This is truly a thoughtful muscle machine. Inside is the same upscale performance attitude. The original Buckskin Tan color of the interior look amazing, and it's especially nice when you realize how well it matches the exterior vinyl top. The bucket seats have a nice pattern that still can see today thanks to great care over the decades. This has all the right space and comfort to take family and friends along for the ride. While this is luxurious, you'll love the performance pieces like Buick's X2 Rallye steering wheel, center console, and iconic horseshoe shifter. Plus, there are some nice subtle upgrades like the auxiliary gauge trio and retro-style AM/FM/cassette stereo with upgraded digital tuner. Everyone who looks under the hood will suspect this to be the original motor. After all, it's dressed correctly with the genuine cold air intake, correct GS 400 air topper, and even the correct Stage I valve covers. And all the correct decals help sell this factory appearance, too. So it will be up to you to tell everyone that this is actually a more powerful 455 cubic-inch V8 borrowed from a later model. We don't mind this ruse, because the sale comes with the numbers-matching GS400 motor, so your lineage is assured. The V8 inhales deeply through a four-barrel carburetor, and it exhales with a mighty rumble thanks to long tube headers that add even more power as they feed the dual exhaust. The big block has serious power that made these Buicks a force to be reckoned with. And making sure that power gets to the ground is the original TH400 three-speed automatic transmission. Add that to the power steering, as well as front & rear sway bars, and you've got a thundering muscle car that also has everyday sensibilities. Buick's muscle cars were more expensive than the mainstream, and so finding one this complete today is a rare sight. Make sure you don't miss this opportunity on such a sharp car. Call now!
