In 1973 Buick renamed their Skylark as the Century, a name harkening back to 1958. With the all-new Colonnade body, it would be one of noted designer Bill Mitchell's last designs.
Going back to 1965, Buick had their G.S. models, which were certainly an answer to Pontiac's GTO. Adding a larger engine to their intermediates along with a list of performance enhancements was sure to lure at least a few younger buyers to their showrooms.
G.S. models would always hold their own at the stoplight races, and with their nicer interiors and added trim, offered an alternative for those looking for just a bit more.
1973 was Buick's last year of production of a 4-speed in intermediate cars.
This G.S. Stage 1 is one of the last true muscle cars produced by General Motors. Only 728 Stage 1 Gran Sports were built in 1973, and this is one of just 92 equipped with a 4-speed manual transmission. This prime example of a Stage 1 G.S. is the highest option example known to exist, loaded with accessories. It has been fully restored to factory specifications and features the original engine, transmission and rear end.
This national award-winning example retains all of its' original sheet-metal, and the original color is Harvest Gold.
This was once a Buick dealer demo and is an all-numbers matching example with original body and glass. It is one of nine 4-speed Stage 1s that are known to exist.
