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.
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.
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.
Buick’s midsize offering from 1973 to 2004, the Regal, entered the market just as the Malaise Era was getting started. So, instead of moaning about the stringent emissions and economy regulations, Buick made it a bit more upmarket than segment contenders. Then, the second generation came about in 1978, bringing with it fresh styling and a station wagon body style. Then, in 1982, the Grand National trim came out, to celebrate Buick winning the Manufacturers Cup in 1981 and 1982 for the NASCAR Winston Cup Grand National. Buick proudly advertised the car as “What wins on Sunday sells on Monday”. Up for sale today is a 1985 Buick Regal Grand National, but one that’s been extensively modified. The car pushes a four-figure horsepower digit at the wheels, and the current owner proudly tells us that it does a 5.2 in the 1/8th at 131mph. Want more figures? How about an 8.4 in the quarter mile, passing the line at a staggering 161mph? Furthermore, this build has just 4,500 miles on it, and comes with some creature comforts that make it a viable regular car when required.
Cars from 1950 are getting rarer. During that time, automakers went above and beyond to produce works of art on wheels. Classic car enthusiasts know well enough that these icons are worth preserving, but there is a cost, namely convenience. That's when the topic of restoration comes up. Users can add modern amenities that make everyday life with the car more comfortable while still enjoying the nostalgia of the bygone era. This 1950 Buick Super is an excellent example of a classic that has been tastefully restored. According to reports, it has only been 2,000 miles since its full restoration.
If one were to hear the brand name Buick, what would spring to mind are some of the most impressive classic cars in history. An interesting fact about Buick is that it was among the first American automobile brands and was the company that established General Motors. It was founded more than a century ago and granted the world with fascinating automobiles that are coveted today. The Buick Special, otherwise known as the Series 40, is a model line produced by the company that was usually its lowest-priced model. In the year 1940, Buick marketed their year lineup as new and improved, and our subject, the 1940 Buick Special Series 40 Coupe, was among them.
With Jaguar Cars recently rebranding to mixed reactions from auto enthusiasts, it’s a great time to remind ourselves of their greatest hits from the past. One of these is the XJS grand tourer. Produced between 1975 and 1996, the XJS is widely regarded as one of the most iconic Jags ever made. Its flying buttresses and grunty V12 engine all make for a superb driving experience, and one heck of a weekend cruiser. That’s why we’re glad to offer this 1992 Jaguar XJS V12. The car has covered 94,231 miles so far, and has reportedly undergone some recent maintenance.
Chevy’s fourth generation Corvette ran between 1984 and 1996, and was responsible for a major shift in America’s favorite sports car’s persona. The Corvette gained new, angular styling, a digital-style dashboard, more power, and enhanced handling. Mercifully, the much-loved pop-up headlamps were retained. Then, a high-performance variant called the ZR1 was introduced in 1990. The ZR1 drew heavily from Britain’s Lotus sports car maker. Enhancements included a new LT5 V8 engine, larger brakes and sportier suspension tuning. This makes the fourth-generation ZR1 one of the most sought-after neo-classic Corvettes. Here’s a great example up for grabs right now, a 1991 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 with just 69,000 miles on the clock. It’s got a rebuilt engine, while all info is as reported by the current owner.
