This 1971 Buick GS convertible is one of 25 Stage 1 “zone demonstrators” built on August 5, 1970, all of which were finished in Cortez Gold over Pearl White vinyl and distributed to GM executives before going to dealers and the general public.
Power comes from a numbers-matching 455ci V8 mated to a three-speed TH400 automatic transmission and a 3.42:1 Positraction rear end.
The Grand Sport package included F41 heavy-duty suspension, power-assisted steering and front disc brakes, a power-operated convertible top and windows, dual exhaust outlets, air conditioning, rally gauges, cruise control, and more.
The 455ci V8 was factory rated at 345 horsepower and sends power through a three-speed TH400 automatic transmission and a Positraction rear end with 3.42:1 gears.
An inspection has been performed in preparation for sale.
