Buick started using the GS, or Gran Sport tag on several models since 1965, to denote, as you guessed it, sporty yet luxurious cars from the General Motors marque. Buick sat second in the luxury hierarchy at the time, with Cadillac ahead of it, but the latter didn’t make sporty machines, so that mantle was Buick’s for the taking. Models such as this 1969 Buick GS 400 Convertible brought fun to drive characteristics to the luxury car brigade, and this particular car sports a reported numbers-matching motor and transmission. Two keys, for the ignition and trunk are included in the sale.
Exterior and Interior
It’s not hard to picture this 1969 Buick GS 400 Convertible being driven on the silver screen, in its red paintwork and contrasting white convertible top, dual headlamps, ample chrome trimmings, and chrome hubcaps centered upon meaty tires. There’s also plenty of badging, including the BUICK script, GS, GS 400, and GS By Buick badging in various places on the car. The downward tapering lines at the rear lend a further touch of distinctiveness, and ends with elongated tail lamp clusters set in a lavish chrome bumper. The white interior of this 1969 Buick GS400 Convertible is actually closer to a shade of cream, and perfectly matches the lustrous red exterior. Offering the requisite creature comforts of the Sixties, you’ve got plushly upholstered seats, ventilation system, a two-spoke steering wheel, and original in-dash radio. The seller reports that the radio doesn’t function, but an extra unit is included with the sale so that you can restore functionality if desired. A little plaque in the door sills informs us that the body is made by Fisher, which was common practice in those years, to have bodies built by a separate coachbuilder. The trunk also appears in decent condition, and contains the spare wheel.
Engine
As the name alludes, this 1969 Buick GS 400 Convertible comes with an appropriately punchy 400ci V8 beneath the hood, that generated 340hp and 440lb-ft when new. The engine sends drive to the rear wheels via a three-speed Super Turbine 400 automatic transmission, and it’s said that 68 and 69 models came with a lower than usual first gear, making them quite quick off the line. Power drum brakes on all four wheels ensure steady stopping power, and power steering is present for easier steering duties.

The 1968 Buick Skylark Custom Coupe represents Buick’s approach to combining V8 performance with refined styling and comfort during the classic American coupe era. Showing 116,588 miles, this example is powered by a 350ci V8 paired with a 2-Speed Super Turbine automatic transmission and features desirable equipment including power steering, and a classic two-tone hardtop roof. Finished in Blue Mist Metallic with a matching Blue interior, this Skylark Custom retains its period-correct character with chrome exterior trim, deluxe wheel covers, and Buick’s signature blend of style and drivability.
For many enthusiasts, the 1967 Buick Riviera represents the pinnacle of Buick's personal luxury era. Widely regarded as one of Bill Mitchell's finest designs, the second-generation Riviera combined razor-sharp styling with effortless V8 performance, creating a grand touring coupe that could comfortably compete with the Ford Thunderbird while maintaining a character all its own. Beneath its sculpted sheet metal lies Buick's legendary 430ci Nailhead successor, an engine celebrated for its immense torque delivery and smooth highway manners. Showing 19,594 miles, this Riviera is finished in elegant Goldmist Metallic over a Black interior with a Black vinyl roof, presenting a timeless combination on one of GM's most iconic personal luxury cars.
The 1987 Buick Regal Grand National is one of the most recognizable American performance cars of the 1980s, combining stealthy styling with groundbreaking turbocharged power. Finished in the iconic black exterior, this Grand National represents Buick’s legendary approach to performance, using a 3.8L turbocharged and intercooled V6 to deliver impressive torque and acceleration that challenged traditional V8 muscle cars of its era. With its rear-wheel-drive layout, factory turbo technology, and unmistakable Grand National appearance, this example remains a highly collectible piece of American muscle car history. Showing 95,035 miles, it offers the opportunity to own one of Buick’s most celebrated performance icons.
