1972 Buick Gran Sport Call

1972 Buick GS Stage 1- GSX TRIBUTE 350/350 Restored Rallys Hood Tach. This is a clean and restored 1972 Buick GS that has been turned into a GSX Tribute vehicle. This car is the real-deal, numbers matching Buick GS Stage 1. The "GSX" package was added to the car at the time of the restoration so this should really be considered a clone or tribute car. This rare factory GS Stage 1, features the correct fully functional "Ram Air" hood with functional scoops, a fully functional hood mounted tachometer, the correct GSX rear spoiler and of course the correct stripes, decals and emblems including the correct GSX grill and dash emblems. The Buick is in great condition overall and runs and drives great. Will need some minor things addressed at some point if you want a perfect car. The car was restored over 10 years ago and although it still looks great, there are minor issues with the paint work that are worth notating. For example, there is a small dent in the passenger front fender that chipped off the paint and there is some minor bubbling just above the rear wheel wells, bottom of one door and some other minor spots. The car also has several small nicks and chips in the paint from the past ten years of usage. None of the above mentioned effects the function of the vehicle and there are no actual holes in the body, but the car is not completely flawless and it's an older restoration. The paint is still very bright and shiny. The vinyl seats are power although not currently hooked up. At the time of restoration, the carpet was replaced, the dash pad recovered, a new wiring harness was installed as was a new headliner. The car has factory power steering and power disc brakes, front and rear sway bars, manual windows, manual door locks. The factory installed A/C is still in the car although not currently functioning. All other components of the A/C system are there (compressor, accumulator, evaporator, and condenser) so getting the A/C functioning again should be fairly simple. Fuel gauge not working but a new sending unit is included with the sale. The motor is the correct, number matching small block 350-4 backed by the original TH-350 automatic transmission. The car retains all of its correct factory components with the exception of an Holly 650CFM carburetor. A new battery has been installed along with new rotors new brakes on all four corners, four shocks, four brand new BFG Radial T/A tires. The car starts with a simple tap of the starter and truly has great street manors. The motor runs smoothly and very strong and the transmission shifts through all the gears as it should. Both the motor and transmission were rebuilt at the time of the restoration although the exact mileage is unknown. I would not hesitate to drive this car anywhere! The windshield wipers are currently not working. I have not spent any time trying to diagnose the problem; it may simply be a blown fuse. The speedometer cable is not currently plugged into the back of the cluster. There are aftermarket oil pressure, water temp and voltage gauges that all work as they should. If you have any questions or would like to see the car in person, please call 904-268-1356.
