1970 Buick GS 455 Stage 1 Convertible " A Rare Collector's Dream
""Dull transportation, you've been scorched. Buick introduces automobiles to light your fire.""
For discerning collectors and enthusiasts, few vehicles capture the muscle car spirit like the 1970 Buick GS 455 Stage 1 Convertible. With only 46 examples produced, and fewer than 10 finished in the elegant Silver Mist, this Sloan Museum-documented masterpiece represents the peak of Buick's performance engineering and luxury craftsmanship.
Exquisite Restoration
Every inch of this GS 455 Stage 1 Convertible has been meticulously brought back to life with a body-off chassis nut-and-bolt restoration. The laser-straight body is adorned in a stunning Silver Mist finish, polished to concours standards, and accented by fully restored brightwork that gleams like new. Beneath its striking exterior lies a painstakingly reupholstered black bucket seat interior, complete with a center console and a suite of factory-correct options. The power folding top with a glass rear window allows open-air affair in style.
Authentic Performance
Under the hood, the 455ci Stage 1 V8 lies in wait with 360 horsepower and a staggering 510 lb-ft of torque-thanks to its high-lift cam, performance 4-barrel carburetor, and low-restriction dual exhaust. This beast is backed by an automatic transmission and a 3.64 Posi-Traction rear axle, delivering breathtaking acceleration and smooth shifts. Power steering and power brakes, along with period-correct Firestone redline Wide Oval tires mounted on 15-inch chrome 5-spoke wheels, make this powerhouse both thrilling and manageable on the road.
Comfortable Muscle
While the GS 455 Stage 1 is a force of nature, it's also a sanctuary of luxury. Equipped with factory air conditioning, a tilt steering column, a factory gauge pack with tachometer, bucket seats, and an AM/FM radio, this GS is as comfortable as it is powerful. It's the perfect blend of refinement and raw American performance, embracing the Buick ethos of delivering muscle without sacrificing sophistication.
A Rare and Documented Legacy
