Used 1968 Buick GS for sale in Ruskin, Florida
Gateway Classic Cars of Tampa is honored to list this sharp 1968 Buick GS 400. This car is powered by its original numbers matching 400 cubic inch Big block V8 and mated to an factory upgraded super turbine 400 automatic transmission, all with only 57k actual miles. In 1968 and 1969 Buick offered the GS 400 in a convertible and hardtop model. Standard issue of the GS 400 was a 400 cubic inch (6.6L) engine (with likely lower stated horsepower rating to keep insurance premiums lower) of 340 horsepower and 440 ft. lbs. torque, a four barrel Rochester Quadrajet carburetor, dual exhaust, 2.93 standard gear ratio and the available three speed turbo Super Turbine 400 automatic transmission (revered as the finest automatic transmission ever built, and commonly called Turbo Hydramatic 400), U-shape Hurst (automatic transmission) shifter and linkage, located on a center console. A 1968 or 1969 GS400 equipped with the TH400 auto transmission was faster off the line than many of its contemporaries thanks to an unusually low 1st gear. Shift pattern for the TH400 from most forward position is Park, Reverse, Neutral, Drive, Second, First. A standard 3 spd or optional 4 spd manual gearbox was also available. Compression ratio on this engine was a very sensible 10.25:1, which allowed for the use of any grade gasoline to be used in normal driving without pinging. The factory air cleaner was covered with a large round chromed cover, secured with a wing nut. The small air scoop behind the hood hinge-line on the 1968 model was generally fake, although it could be functional if ordered with the very rare ram air package. This GS 400 comes with its original window sticker, invoice from when it was first bought, maintained booklet, owners manual, and even protectant plate/ warranty book, and additional documents. Painted in Brown code MM6 (has been repainted 1 time but kept the original color) has a beautiful white top and white vinyl interior. Options on this rare GS400 include; Air conditioning, 8 track, power steering and brakes, seat belts, vinyl interior, factory rally wheels, speed alert, and so much more!
