While Chevrolet may have dominated GM’s muscle-car lineup in the ’60s, those who wanted something more sophisticated would likely have considered the Buick brand an excellent option. The Gran Sport line was designed to rekindle memories of Buicks of old, which often featured large-capacity straight-eight engines. These cars offered powerful, fun-to-drive, yet prestigious options to those who could afford them. The Gran Sport of 1968 was based on the Buick Skylark. Our featured car is reportedly a restomod based on the Buick G/S 350. It features a 350ci V8 engine, as well as an automatic transmission.
Exterior and Interior
The Buick G/S 350 was a two-door coupe, and featured the typical design traits of the era. This includes quad headlamps up front, along with a prominent front grille and chrome bumper. The hood features scoops, as well as grilles on the front fender and GS 350 badges. The exterior of this 1968 Buick GS Restomod is finished in a deep shade of green. It sits on 17-inch chrome alloy wheels, with drilled and slotted front rotors visible behind the rims. The tan interior features two individual front seats, lap belts, and a period-looking audio player. Also pictured is a Vintage Air HVAC control panel, while there’s a gauge cluster that features rpm and a 160-mph speedometer, along with integrated dials for water temperature, fuel level, oil pressure, and charging system voltage.
Engine
Under the long hood of the 1968 Buick G/S sits a 350ci V8 engine. Images depict that a FiTech Go EFI 4 600 HP system has been installed, along with an Edelbrock air filter and valve covers. This Gran Sport delivers power to the rear wheels, via an automatic transmission.

One of the first American marquees was Buick when it was established in 1899 by David Dunbar Buick. General Motors was established in 1908 thanks to Buicks popularity. Later, Buick became GM’s premium brand targeting the wealthy of North America. The only marquee above Buick was the upscale luxury brand Cadillac. As of today, Buick’s largest market is China, with almost 80% of sales originating from there. In 1965 Buick introduced the “Gran Sport” name for high-performance cars built by Buick. The beauty of the GS cars was that they were a perfect blend of high-performance, luxury appointments and comfort. The first GS was the Skylark in 1965, which was eventually replaced by the Gran Sport 455. A rare chance to own a magnificent piece of performance history is now at hand in the form of this 1970 Buick GS 455 convertible with 91,287 miles on the odometer and the best part being that the seller reports it to be a one owner car.
Over the years the General Motors brand has churned out possibly some of the most interesting cars ever made. Being the roof for many American automotive powerhouses it’s definitely hard for a singular vehicle to stand out amongst the ocean of greats. The Buick GS is one of the greats. The GS marque stood for Gran Sport and arose from Buick’s ideals of designing and producing cars which were not only fun but also luxurious as well. With Cadillac being the golden standard in terms of producing luxurious cars the Gran sport name was used since 1965 on many of Buicks models to showcase tire shredding performance with a touch of luxury. Bask In this 1971 Buick GS 455 Convertible’s monstrous performance and comfort that we have in inventory right now. Located in Illinois this car just has just 84,000 miles on the clock and reported to be mostly original and is also reported to have a nut and bolt restoration about 20 years ago with paperwork and receipts available with the current owner. This sure is a car that carries a lot of history and would definitely make you stand out.
The 1999 Buick Riviera Silver Arrow Limited Edition marked the end of an era, serving as a commemorative send-off for the Riviera nameplate after decades as one of Buick’s most distinctive personal luxury coupes. This example is #27 of just 200 produced and shows only 28,978 miles. Finished in Sterling Silver Metallic over a Medium Gray leather interior, it pairs understated late-1990s luxury with the stronger personality of Buick’s supercharged 3800 Series II V6. Special Silver Arrow badging, interior logos, and its numbered plaque distinguish this car from a standard Riviera, while the low production count gives it genuine collector appeal.
The 1942 Buick Super 4-Door Touring Sedan comes from a brief and historically significant model year, with civilian automobile production soon giving way to wartime priorities. Showing approximately 78,842 miles, this example is powered by Buick’s 248ci “Fireball” inline-eight, bored .030-inch over, and paired with a 3-speed manual transmission. Finished in gray over a gray interior, it retains the formal proportions and unmistakable prewar character of Buick’s Super line while also benefiting from a refreshed front suspension. The current owner notes that the radio, heater, and temperature gauge are inoperable, and the car retains its original spare tire.
This 1957 Buick Roadmaster Riviera 2-Door Hardtop is pure late-1950s American excess in the best possible way, combining dramatic Harley Earl-era styling with the torque-rich character of Buick’s Nailhead V8. Showing approximately 14,574 miles, this example was refurbished in the late 2000s and is finished in Dover White and Bittersweet Red over a Rust and Ivory interior. The car was later upgraded with an Air Lift Performance air suspension system. Add in power steering, power brakes, power windows, a power front bench seat, Hot Rod Air climate control, and wide whitewalls, and this Roadmaster delivers the extravagant look of a flagship ’50s Buick with a few thoughtful upgrades that make it even more enjoyable today.
