    A nut and bolt restored to stock specs Buick GS 400 with only 300 miles! This is a factory 400ci, M20 4-Speed, Positive Traction, black interior with bucket seats, and painted in deep metallic red paint making it 1 of only 400! The GS is sporting Buick Sport wheels that look great. The original wheels with "NEW Red Line tires" also come with sale. The original AM radio also is part of sale.
    The 1967 Buick GS Convertible is a limited run of only 2,140, and this beauty with its option package makes it 1 of 400. In ’67 many new styling ques such as revised front and rear styling, simulated hood scoops and fender VentiPorts, and a host of GM safety features from the energy-absorbing steering column to a dual-circuit brake master cylinder. The GS also stands out with a four 11-inch finned drums brakes. Power comes from a 400-cubic-inch V-8 (5.6L) featured a 3.25-inch main nodular-iron 3.90-inch stroke crank, forged steel connecting rods and cast-aluminum pistons. The heads received larger ports, 2.00/1.625-inch valves and a semi-wedge-shaped combustion chamber. The compression ratio was 10.25:1. Advertised camshaft duration of 298/315-degrees and .421/.449-inch lift. The cast-iron dual-plane intake manifold was topped off by a uniquely designed red dual-inlet air cleaner. Resulting power output was 340hp at 5,000 RPM and 440-lbs ft of torque at 3,200 RPM.
    The manual transmission is the optional M20 four-speed. The differential with 3.42 gear also features phosphate-coated gears and heavy-duty axle shafts and Positive Traction. Buick included the stiffer convertible frame on the GS 400. A .937-inch anti-roll bar was installed up front. The styling and specs alone reveal that the GS 400 was better than its division rivals in both power, ride, and handling. The GS 400 possess all of the attributes of a true muscle car.
    Interior featuring the black buckets and the very rare option passenger lay back bucket seat have been correctly reupholstered in Madrid grain black vinyl. The M20 4-speed shifter seats on its own short console that also has the built in tachometer. Muscle cars rarely came with luxury items like Power Windows, Power Steering, Power Brakes, and Power Top. The dash is equipped with a 120 MPH speedometer, fuel gauge, indicator lights, clock, and radio. The GS 400 is built with room for the family with an actual full sized back seat. The canvas power top is NEW with a real glass rear window. Even the trunk is correct with spare tire/cover and proper jack. Every detail on this restoration has had attention. This stunning GS 400 is waiting for your inspection. The GS 400 comes with all paperwork/receipts of build. A beautiful example of a gentleman's sport car.

    Since this car was built at Kansas City the trim tag helps confirm several of the options as being original:

    W - tinted windshield (only)
    X - power windows
    T - power bucket seat
    2L - 4 speed
    F - short console for manual transmission
    4F - Outside remote mirror
    5K - door edge guards
    198-R Black bucket seats with headrests and reclining passenger seat (only 68 of the 1967 GS 400 convertibles had this option, 12 of those are from the Kansas City plant)

    That's a beautiful '67! I love the color and finish on this car. It's not exactly 100% correct but, it is a stunning example.

    'Every detail on this restoration has had attention.' lol
    for 78k, attention must have been short.
    wrong hose clamps, mickey mouse fuel line. chrome part on dash pitted. should have been rechromed for 78k.
    what else was shorted. restoration...why not say 'we fixed the issues the cheapest way'.

    “…wrong hose clamps,…”

    as soon as I saw this car I knew you would comment about the hose clamps. That gets you every time! I just bought all new correct hose clamps for my ‘67 so that if/when I post a photo of my oily engine compartment you will say “…that’s an oily engine compartment and there are lots of incorrect items but the hose clamps are on point!” :)

    Don’t take my comments as demeaning. It’s all in fun. And I agree that this car is overpriced at $78k but he’s fishing for someone that just likes a pretty face and doesn’t mind if it is correctly restored or not. Being one of the 422 4-speed convertibles might be enough to sway someone.

    no problem. but when the sale price is really high and they cheaped on the restoration, that irks me. would you use cheap crap
    like that restoring a Duesenberg. and everybody here dissects car being sold.
    like 53 skylarks being 100% correct. 99% of them is missing a part. i know. worked on them. even scrapped one out. ouch!
    if it restored correctly, great. if not, it is just another nice used car. correct verbage/truth equals the dollars requested.

    It's a beautiful car, but to be honest I'm more envious of the fact that it has BFG's with white letters.

    local car lot I find most of their cars descriptions are exaggerated. I haven’t seen this car so I’m not sure but I would bet they have a high profit margin on it.

    I know the owner and have seen it, pretty nice car, but he is not a Buick only guy.

    I wonder what's with the screws in the door panel by the power window switch and the remote mirror?

    Then there's none on the other door panel?
