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.
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.

The Buick GS 455 remains one of the most respected muscle cars of the golden era, pairing Buick’s reputation for comfort and refinement with the brute force of a massive big-block V8.

1970 marked an important year for Buick’s midsize muscle car lineup, as the Skylark 350 Sport Coupe blended the brand’s signature comfort with increasingly aggressive performance styling.
