This 1969 Buick GS 400 coupe is finished in Cameo Cream with a black vinyl roof and is powered by a 400ci V8 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes a Rochester Quadrajet carburetor, a center console, 14″ Rallye-style wheels, power steering, power-assisted drum brakes, black vinyl cabin upholstery, and auxiliary gauges. Work since 2020 included repainting the bodywork, re-chroming the bumpers, rebuilding the carburetor, and replacing the fuel tank, battery, and brake and suspension components.
The body was refinished in the Buick shade of Cameo Cream with a black vinyl roof cover in 2022 according to the selling dealer. Other work included replacing the side mirrors and weatherstripping and re-chroming the bumpers. Red “GS” and “GS 400” badging adorns the grille, trunk lid, and rear quarter panels, and additional details include a dual exhaust system, quad headlights, and hood scoops.
Rallye-style 14″ wheels wear 225/70 Cooper Cobra Radial G/T raised-white-letter tires. The car is equipped with power-assisted steering and four-wheel drum brakes. Service in 2022 included replacing the shocks, springs, brake lines, brake booster, wheel bearings, and rear control arm bushings.
The front bucket seats and rear bench are upholstered in black vinyl and accompanied by a color-coordinated dashboard, door panels, and carpeting. The interior was re-trimmed under previous ownership.
The three-spoke steering wheel wears a worn wrap and fronts a horizontal-sweep 120-mph speedometer and a fuel gauge. Auxiliary readouts are mounted below the dashboard. The five-digit mechanical odometer shows 99k miles.
The 400ci V8 was factory rated at 340 horsepower and 440 lb-ft of torque and features a four-barrel Rochester Quadrajet carburetor and a ram air intake system. The carburetor was rebuilt in 2022, and the oil was changed in preparation for the sale.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a three-speed TH400 automatic transmission. The dual exhaust system features an H-pipe and MagnaFlow mufflers.
