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.

Buick’s Gran Sport or GS badge was applied to several of the brand’s high-performance variants of models such as the Skylark, Riviera, Wildcat, Century, Apollo, and more. Since Buick was meant to be a luxury brand slotting in just beneath Cadillac in GM’s hierarchy, the Gran Sport badge represented the sportiest luxury car from GM, since Cadillac did not do sporting machines. Up for sale today is a fully restored 1969 Buick Gran Sport 350 with a total 77,364 miles on the clock and only 500 miles reported since its comprehensive makeover. The car also comes with some interesting updates, making it easier and more pleasurable to drive.
