1972 Buick GS Stage 1 455 Restomod

With its revitalized exterior dressed in its original Silver Mist paint and paired with outstanding power that comes via a sizeable, enhanced engine that has also been on board from the start, this 1972 Buick GS Stage 1 455 Restomod represents a skillful blending of vintage and aftermarket components to create an unbeatable finished result. This classic received a full rotisserie restoration, and the results are truly impressive, leaving it with absolutely next-level curb appeal. Its attention-grabbing paint has a deep shine and a smooth texture, and it's accented by chrome and brightwork that really shows nicely. This well-equipped and thoroughly restored Buick is truly show-worthy.

The interior was brought back to top form with an eye on retaining its stock specifications. Both the front buckets and rear bench seat are in great shape, showing only the slightest of wear, with door panels to each side that are in the same fresh condition. Peer through the factory-style steering wheel and you'll find an assembly of stock gauges in the instrument cluster that broadcast their readings through clear lenses, pairing with a trio of aftermarket displays to keep tabs on motoring functions. Look above and you'll see a well-fitted headliner. Look below and you'll find carpeting that's free of any concerning stains or other defects.

From front to back, this visually striking cruiser has been fortified with top-tier mechanical components to create an exhilarating driving experience. Beneath the hood lurks a 455-cubic-inch V8 that's been enhanced with 12:1 ratio pistons and a performance cam and is fed via a Holley 750 double pumper carburetor. Dynamometer readings thoroughly back up this engine's abilities, registering an impressive 450 horsepower and 537lb.-ft. of torque at the rear wheels. Sitting behind the big block is a 5-speed manual Tremec TKO600 transmission, one of the few transmissions capable of handling its elite output. With Global West tubular control arms in front, adjustable upper control arms in back and power disc brakes at all four corners, this vintage Buick offers a refined ride, with plenty of adjustability, and it stops as promptly as you could want.
