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.
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.
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 Buick Regal is one of those nameplates from the Seventies that you can still buy today, albeit not in North America, but China! Introduced in 1973, just as the Malaise Era was taking hold, the Regal has always been the premium midsize offering from this storied American automaker. Regals have been made in coupe, sedan and station wagon forms, and come with some hot variants too. North American Regal sales ceased in 2020, as Buick wanted to refocus its attention towards solely selling SUVS in North America. Today, we have a second-generation 1986 Buick Regal T-Type Turbo for sale from Downey, California. This was considered quite a hot car in its time, due to its punchy 3.8-liter turbo V6 and performance-tuned suspension. This 44,107-mile car also comes with an upgraded intercooler set-up for a bit more bite.
The 1938 Buick Special Series 40 Sedan captures the elegance and innovation of pre-war American motoring, blending Buick’s hallmark smoothness with stylish Art Deco design. Offered from Nevada, Missouri, this example remains highly original, powered by its 248ci inline-eight paired to a 3-speed manual transmission. With 72,366 miles, it stands as both a collectible pre-war classic and a usable vintage sedan that showcases Buick’s engineering achievements of the era.
By 1965, the Buick Riviera had firmly established itself as one of the most striking American personal luxury coupes of its time. Combining Bill Mitchell’s sharp styling with Buick’s refined powertrains, the Riviera delivered both presence and performance in equal measure. This example, a 1965 model, carries the legendary 401 cubic-inch “Nailhead” V8 paired to a smooth-shifting ST-400 3-speed automatic transmission. Showing 20,446 miles on the odometer, it has been repainted in an eye-catching orange finish and fitted with aftermarket wheels, setting it apart while still honoring the car’s bold original character.
