1971 Buick Gran Sport

GR Auto Gallery is pleased to offer this exceptional Buick Gran Sport 455 Stage 1 for your consideration. This beautiful vehicle is powered by a healthy 455ci V8 motor mated to a TH-400 automatic transmission. Under the hood sits the numbers matching motor in a meticulously detailed engine bay. The selling owner also notes that the transmission is matching numbers as well.



Buick offered the Stage 1 option for their GS line-up which came with the high performance 455ci 4bbl V8 motor, different instrumentation specific for the Stage 1 models, a heavy duty radiator, a heavy duty energizer, and posi-traction performance axle. These vehicles were rated 345 horsepower which is plenty enough to have some fun on the road.



Finished in the original color of Burnished Cinnamon with an accenting white vinyl top, the exterior appearance is stunning from every angle. In addition to the Stage 1 option, this example was ordered with seemingly countless other options. Exterior options included custom vinyl roof covering and rear quarter belt molding, soft ray tinted glass, and through bumper exhaust extensions. The upgraded suspension package Rally Firm Ride and Handling was installed and included heavy duty suspension components, springs, and wheels.



Dont worry, the interior also received the same fully loaded treatment as the rest of the vehicle. The Custom Trim interior package included vinyl strato bucket seats, rear compartment courtesy lamps, rear custom seat back, and a wood grain instrument panel ornamentation. Additionally power windows, electric door locks, cruise control, door guards, shoulder belts, rear speaker, Sonomatic radio, rallye clock, rallye steering wheel, and tilt steering column were installed. Air conditioning, power disc brakes, and power steering are also highlights of this vehicle.



Needless to say this is an exceptional example throughout. It is accompanied by the original owners manual and window sticker which note it being sold new out of Staal Buick in Grand Rapids, MI. Stand out from the rest of the muscle cars of the era in a Buick GS Stage 1! Please call or email with any questions or for additional information.
