1971 Buick GS 455 Convertible
The GS special features include dual exhausts, functional hood air inlets, Delcotron generator, semi-closed cooling system, 14-inch wheels, full-flow oil filter, composite cast iron drum brakes; heavy-duty springs, shock absorbers and stabilizer bar. This car exhibits the rare N25 exhaust cutaway rear bumper where the rectangular tips are ported though the low, outer bumper area and provides a great visual detail. The owner reports that approximately 30 similar cars left the factory with this optional order code.
Frame-off restored in 2015, this exceptional code 53 Cortez Gold GS 455 Convertible has a white power-operated soft-top and a White Pearl bench seat interior that is accented with black carpets and dash. This is a nicely appointed car with factory air conditioning, AM radio, twin sport-style mirrors with driver’s side remote, power steering, power brakes, GS 455 badging, factory “five-spoke chrome-plated wheels” (per brochure) and BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires.
In 1971 Buick produced over 551,000 automobiles; this Buick GS 455 Convertible is one of only 902 built for the 1971 model year. This number includes both the standard 350-cid GS cars and the GS 455’s; when this is considered the rarity becomes all the more apparent.
