OVERVIEW
We all know the oft-told performance story by heart: Someone took a big engine from a full-size car and stuck it in an intermediate-with limitations. Although it could be argued that it was just going to be a matter of time before someone hit on a winning combination, the result was instant sales success in terms of the rapidly growing youth market. In spite of its “gentleman’s car” persona, Buick engineers took their model.

popular as the GS was, 1968 proved to be a pivotal year in that GM released the redesigned A-body platform, featuring a 112-inch wheelbase, perimeter frame, heavy-duty front and rear suspension and a sleek body shell from . Buick took it one step further by incorporating their traditional and swoopy sweepspear design into the GS body. Also making the cut was a revamped faux ti behind the front wheel openings. In between each set of dual headlamps, a recessed, blacked-out grille was present-complete with a red GS badge-and, most strikingly, a concave bumper and matching decklid were blended into the body rather masterfully; two parallel strips of stainless sat prominently on the decklid, with a GS 400 badge serving as an anchor above the bumper.

der the hood, the 400 CID engine boasted a 10.25:1 compression ratio and four-barrel carburetor and was officially rated for 340hp and 440 <span class='underline cursor-pointer text-emerald- GS400 4-speed convertibles built. This example is hands down one of the highest optioned '68 GS 400's built. The engine is numbers matching along with the M21 close ratio being 100% correct.

The data tag on the cowl identifies the special order exterior color along with a white interior, bucket seats, and a white convertible top.

This 400 CID was meticulously rebuilt with all the correct performance parts to achieve the original expectations as when built new. Also being backed by a shifter makes going to through the gears a breeze.

With all of the options this cars offers and being backed by a 4-speed transmission, we consider this car a very rare find making it a truly quality collectible muscle car.

With all this being said – Wouldn’t you really be driving this Buick?
