1972 Buick GS Stage 1 - Amazing Restomod - Your Chance to Own an Epic Musclecar!

**SERIOUS BIDDERS ONLY – PLEASE READ LISTING IN ITS ENTIRETY**

On rare occasions, very special vehicles become available for purchase. This is one such occasion, and it’s one that will snap any serious muscle car aficionado to attention. Up for auction is this impressive 1972 Buick GS Stage 1 (not a clone), finished in ‘Blue Royale’ (custom formulated purple/blue/black). This Buick restomod is 1 of 1,015 produced with the 455/TH400 combo, of which maybe 500 or so survive. The original block has been fitted with Stage 2 TA Performance Heads, ported and polished. Fuel flow is courtesy of a Holley 900 CFM Throttle Body with port fuel injection controlled by an AEM ECU. A Rick’s Stainless Fuel tank stores the go-go juice. Keeping it all cool is an AutoRad radiator with electric cooling fans, and there’s a custom-machined serpentine belt system with tensioner at work on the front of the engine. David McIntosh of McIntosh Performance built the engine, which has been stroked to 472 cubic inches, making approximately 600+ HP. When she fires up, the sound is amazing, and it’s very clear that there’s some serious power lurking under the hood. That rumble is piped through TA Shorty headers and a custom 3” exhaust. The TH400 tranny has been upgraded with a shift kit and a 3000-stall torque converter which is connected to the original 10-bolt rear with 3:31 limited slip gears.

She rides on a gorgeous set of Forgeline wheels, 18” up front and 19” in the rear, wrapped in BFG G-Force TAs. Bringing all the get-up-and-go safely to a stop are Baer 6-piston brakes, fed by stainless lines. If you have any experience with muscle cars of the era, you know that the handling wasn’t high on the priority list, when they were designed. That’s been addressed with this GS Stage 1. A Hotchkis TVS Stage 2 suspension with Bilstein shocks adds confident cornering capability to the mix.

Moving to the interior, you’ll find era-correct custom leather upholstery. Open the trunk, and you’ll see the theme has been carried throughout. A fantastic looking set of Dakota Gauges provides the driver the necessary information, and they’re stunning when illuminated. There’s a custom stereo system to provide the tunes, with two 12” subwoofers to add some punch. To reduce vibration and noise, Dynamat has been installed throughout. There’s new glass to provide a clear view of the road, and to add some piece of mind, a Street Eagle auto tracking device is included.

This amazing machine was rescued from certain death (see photos), with all panels being appropriately addressed. It has undergone a frame-off restoration, and all body work is top-notch. The restoration took nearly 18 months to complete, and when all time, materials and parts are tallied, the total invested eclipses $120K. The end result is a stunning, era-correct restomod, which features modern technological advances, along with updated pops of style.
This is a very, very special vehicle. Don’t miss out on the chance to own it!
