For Sale: 1970 Buick Gran Sport in Mesa, Arizona for sale in Mesa, AZ
Vehicle Description Buying a vintage car today is often about making up for when you weren't able to buy your childhood dream.
That's why it's so important to find one that keeps an eye on quality because you want your hero to live up to your expectations.
This rare and ultra-powerful 1970 Buick GS 455 Stage 1 is exactly the frame-off restored kind of gem you've been searching for.
In 1970, the GS 455's design perfectly blended Buick's upper-class image with performance touches that reflected the serious muscle car power it was bringing to the streets.
It starts with the factory-correct Diplomat Blue paint.
It looks so good that you know it can only come from a professional respray where there was a ton of investment.
In fact, you'll see the difference in quality everywhere you look on this coupe.
That's because it was given a frame-off restoration and it has gone only about 5,600 miles since then.
These Grand Sport Buicks deserve the investment because they are powerful and beautiful.
This was one of the final years before chrome bumpers had to sacrifice style for federal regulation.
You see it, especially in the rear, where the one-piece bumper creates an entire panel that's crafted to integrate the angular rear fenders and trunk.
While this was mature styling at its finest, the Gran Sport lived up to the latter part of its name, with aggressive features like red striping on the rocker panels, correct GS Stage 1 badging, Buick Rallye wheels, and functional hood scoops.
The interior carries this same upscale performance attitude while continuing an amazing-looking full blue style.
The bucket seats and door panels have a cool vented pattern that you'd expect from a classic German car, but of course, the design is more for sustained driving comfort.
The same can be said about the center console, and once again, the performance feeling immediately comes back once you lay your hands on the Hurst shifter.
The original steering wheel is a cool piece that you wouldn't see survive on lesser classics.
Beyond that, you see the full factory gauge package that includes a tachometer.
The dash looks amazing with wood paneling outlining features like the heat/defrost and classic Sonomatic AM radio.
It's a fully detailed classic, right down to the working courtesy lights.
The restoration has gone to great lengths to give the engine bay a time capsule appearance.
Everything from the marks on the firewall to the sticker on the air cleaner makes this feel like 1970 all over again.
This is a 455 cubic-inch replacement motor.
It's built correctly, right down to the gaskets that seal to the hood for a proper Stage 1 fresh air intake.
The V8 fires up eagerly and runs with the kind of strength you'd expect on such a well-restored vehicle.
This big block is mated to the numbers-matching Muncie M20 four-speed transmission on its way to a 3.
64 Positraction rear end.
So you have firm control over this Stage 1 powerhouse.
This is the kind of muscle car that likes to keep you in touch with the blacktop, and as you look at the undercarriage photos, the fresh presentation means newer components and a confident feeling out on the road.
The sale comes complete with plenty of great paperwork, including the warranty card, original sales docs, the owner's manual, restoration photos, maintenance records, and more.
Buick's muscle cars were more expensive than the mainstream, and so finding one this complete today is a rare sight.
Make sure you don't miss this opportunity on such a sharply restored hardtop.
Call today!!!.
