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.
In the '60s and '70s muscle cars were all the rage, and it was common for legendary machines to be overshadowed by genius marketing campaigns and muscle legends like the Ford Mustang and the Chevrolet Camaro. Present today is one of those legendary muscle machines that did not receive the spotlight it deserved, and it takes shape with this iconic 1971 Buick Gran Sport Convertible.
The 1937 Buick Special Series 40 Convertible represents a distinctive moment in prewar American automotive design, blending elegant Art Deco styling with the smooth, streamlined proportions that defined Buick’s entry-level luxury models of the era. While Buick was known for refinement and engineering sophistication in the 1930s, this example advances that legacy by integrating modern performance and comfort into a classic platform. Finished in Silver and fitted with a Carson-style removable top, this restomod preserves the graceful lines of the original convertible while transforming it into a high-performance cruiser that bridges prewar aesthetics and contemporary hot rod culture.
Buick’s GS or Gran Sport tag was initially applied to the automaker’s Skylark model in the Sixties, before extending to cover hot variants of the Riviera, Wildcat and Century. Choosing a GS Buick meant that you were availing yourself to some pretty impressive and giant-killing performance. Here, we’ve got a 1966 Buick Skylark GS for sale from what better place than Indianapolis! With 2,600 miles since some comprehensive work, this beast comes with a 494ci V8, a T-56 6-speed manual box, a new black interior and many more things to make this Skylark soar like an eagle.
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.
One of General Motors’ most successful and popular A-body midsize cars, the Chevy Chevelle ran between 1963 and 1977, across three generations. It was offered in sedan, station wagon, coupe, convertible, hardtop and coupe utility forms. Back in the day, it was the default choice for many families who wanted clean, reliable and easy motoring, especially when you choose a station wagon. Now, some of these classics have become restomods, like this 1,242-mile 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle Concours Restomod LS3 from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. This spacious station wagon packs a 6.2-liter LS3 V8, an aftermarket sound system, a reupholstered leather interior and more goodies to make it sweeter on every drive. The car has reportedly been refreshed by Luce Customs.
The 1987 Ford Mustang GT Convertible represents the height of the Fox-body 5.0 era, a time when affordable American V8 performance dominated the streets and the “5.0” badge became a cultural icon. The 1987 refresh brought updated aero styling and improved cylinder heads, helping the High Output 302 earn its legendary reputation. This example shows over 104,000 miles and comes accompanied by a Marti Report, offering documented authenticity and production details that serious collectors appreciate. Finished in Oxford White over a striking Scarlet Red interior and paired with a 5-speed manual, this convertible captures the pure, analog driving experience that defined late-1980s muscle, delivering the unmistakable look, sound, and feel that made these cars instant classics.
Nothing beats the experience of cruising around town in a classic first-generation Ford Mustang Convertible. Imagine what buyers must have felt like back then? Ford’s hit pony car was literally flying off the showroom floors. For the first full production year, 1965, Ford sold over half a million! This 1965 Ford Mustang Convertible is one of them, and it’s now available to purchase in Jacksonville, Florida. With just under 40,000 miles, this pony packs a nice 302 under the hood, paired with power steering and a front disc brake conversion for better stopping prowess.
