Up for auction is a stunningly restored 1970 Buick GS 455 Stage 1 convertible, a true recreation of an iconic muscle car. Originally born as a 350 GS convertible, this vehicle was meticulously transformed over a span of 10 years by the previous owner into a Stage 1 specification, using the finest date-code correct parts. With less than 2,000 miles driven since its complete rebuild, this car presents as essentially new after its extensive restoration.
The restoration process began with a complete new one-piece floor and a custom 4-speed opening, and the interior was entirely re-done to match the original specifications. The engine, transmission, drive shaft, and rear end were sourced from a donor 1970 GS Stage 1 coupe, ensuring absolute authenticity and performance. The rear end was switched from the factory 3.73:1 gears to a 3.42:1 posi, providing a more street-friendly gear ratio for enjoyable cruising.
The 455ci V8 engine, the heart of this GS Stage 1, has been meticulously rebuilt, offering exceptional power and performance. The 4-speed manual transmission and new clutch ensure that driving this muscle car is as exciting as it is rewarding. The mileage, which reflects only the distance driven since the rebuild, stands at 1,900 miles, a testament to the care taken in restoring this classic.
This Buick GS 455 Stage 1 is a rare find, especially given the work and dedication poured into its transformation. While the value of a genuine 1970 GS 455 Stage 1 4-speed convertible would command a significantly higher price, this recreation offers the same performance and style at a more attainable price. Whether you’re a collector or someone seeking a performance-oriented classic, this Buick GS offers exceptional value.
Having been carefully cared for and rebuilt, this car is now ready to hit the streets, offering an incredible driving experience. A true gem for any classic car enthusiast or Buick lover, this car stands as a perfect tribute to the iconic muscle car era.
