As an all original head turner that’s spent most of its life in the hands of one dedicated owner, it’s the perfect piece for any collector who wants a first rate classic with an outstanding history. If you’re looking for some killer blue chip muscle that has an amazing story and even more impressive provenance, Buick built it and RK Motors Charlotte is selling it!
Few traditional Buick buyers would ever think of ordering their new luxury car in a sinister coat of GM’s code A black. Fewer still would ever dream of accenting that wet looking pigment with a pair of bright red pin stripes. But that’s exactly what the original owner of this GS did; and today, thanks to hardly ever seeing sun, rain or street time, the car’s mirror-like finish is a largely flaw-free celebration of lacquer --laden originality. That said, the body’ glossy panels are not devoid of all character like so many fresh frame-off restorations. Rather, they carry just the right amount of wear under a soft shine that simply cannot be duplicated with today’s perfected basecoat/clearcoat paint process. Under that vintage single-stage paint, all original OEM sheetmetal shows no signs of botched repairs, accident damage or cancerous rust. And overall, this Buick is as close to factory perfect as a five decades removed classic can get.
Hoist this car’s glossy black hood and you’ll find 400 cubic inches of untouched, original Buick muscle that produces 340 horsepower, spins stout to 1 compression into 440 lb./ft. of torque, and wears a correct 1381624 casting number above a 1967-exclusive NR assembly stamp. At the top of that sinister red block, a familiar Rochester Quadrajet carburetor mixes air from Buick’s trademark ’Star Wars’ air cleaner with dino juice that’s supplied by original stainless fuel lines. At the sides of that carburetor, original semi-wedge heads hang “400-4“ branded valve covers over deep breathing cast iron exhaust manifolds. In front of those manifolds, a traditional points distributor shoots fire through authentic Packard TV R Suppression wires. And in front of that distributor, a gloss black radiator circulates coolant through pliable original hoses and authentic tower clamps.
At the bottom of this stunning survivor a clean undercarriage tells a long story of excellent maintenance and carefully chosen road time. At the center of the floors a rugged, and original, M20 Muncie 4-speed transmission hangs a correct 3885010 casting number and a Muncie (P) assembled on June (H) 19th (19) 1967 (7) build stamp in front of an original Posi-traction Salisbury rear end that’s complete with oversize axle shafts. At the ends of that drivetrain an original heavy duty suspension, which includes thicker sway bars, better shocks, stiffer springs and the aforementioned trailer towing upgrade, combines with Buick’s familiar power assisted aluminum drums up front and power-assisted steel drums out back to provide quick stops and great handling. And at the corners of that chassis, power flows to the pavement through original 14 inch Buick Sport wheels which spin original F70-14 Goodyear Custom Wide Tread Polyglas redlines around clean red, white and blue center caps.
Climb inside this timeless Buick muscle car and you’ll find a completely original GM code 193 interior that is both comfortable and appealing. Covered in original Madrid Grain surfaces (Buick speak for high quality vinyl), the car’s firm front bucket and rear bench seats are comfortable, solid and provide spacious seating for at least five. At the center of the cockpit, an optional stainless trimmed consolette props a Buick factory tachometer and an original black shifter above like-new black carpet, heavy duty rubber floor mats and optional Fisher lap belts. And above that consolette, a warp-free dash hangs bright silver trim between original gauges, an original AM/FM radio and a dealer installed stainless tissue dispenser. Connecting the driver to the road is a great looking original steering wheel which prominently displays a modernist design theme around a small red, white and blue Buick emblem. And behind the passengers, an optional rear speaker hangs over a super clean trunk that’s equipped with original factory decals, an original spare tire and the car’s original dealer-applied window sticker.
