Reviews and Buyer Guides for Buick GS's From Automotive Experts
If the word association of Buick and “Grand National” doesn’t get your blood pumping, then we suggest you may want to turn in your American-petrol head card at the first opportunity. The Buick Regal Grand National is a muscle car that upended the industry in an era of tightening emissions regulations thanks to its use of a smaller V6 engine with a turbo. This GNX (which stands for Grand National Experimental) run-out special edition was created for the Grand National’s final production year. And it’s no exaggeration to say that Buick pulled out all the stops. A limited run of only 547 cars were transformed by none other than McLaren, with a host of upgrades under the hood. This 1987 Buick Grand National GNX that is for sale has reportedly been garage kept and maintains the original mileage.

Among these, the third generation stands out notably due to the introduction of the formidable Grand National variant. This particular model garnered significant attention for its remarkable capabilities, which included the ability to rival even the revered Corvettes of its time, effectively cementing its reputation both on the streets and the racetrack. For enthusiasts with a long-standing desire to own a Grand National, an exciting opportunity has emerged.

Before the Regal, Buick had already proven their capability to build personal luxury cars, being the very first in the entire GM division to do so when they released the Riviera in 1963. Buick however felt like they could do better, and introduced the first generation Regal in 1973. While the car was successful, it would forever go on to live in the shadows of its predecessor, with the second-gen Regal becoming one of the most popular cars to ever come out of a Buick factory. This generation of the Regal lasted 10 years and was offered in an array of trim levels, one of which was the Buick Regal Limited as featured here. As for the example in question, reports suggests that it has just 34,000 miles on its engine, which would make it a treasure for any Buick enthusiast

From the time Buick was introduced to the market, especially the North American market, it was known for its luxury and was marketed as a uber-premium brand. One of their more memorable and distinguishable models is the Buick Riviera, produced from 1963 to 1993 and then from 1995 to 1999 under nine distinct generations. The Riviera, marketed as a personal luxury car, gained its name from the Italian translation of coastline.

The Electra was Buick’s nameplate from 1959 to 1990 for its flagship, full-size luxury car offering. Taking over from the Roadmaster, six generations of Electra would see the light of day. The name Electra was based on a person, Texan sculptor and socialite Electra Waggoner Biggs. No doubt it was also helped by the fact that Electra was the sister-in-law of then-GM President Harlow H. Curtice. This 1974 Buick Electra 225 Limited that we've got for sale is a fourth-generation example with 100,497 miles on the odometer and a slice of what Seventies luxury motoring was like.
Over the years the General Motors brand has churned out possibly some of the most interesting cars ever made. Being the roof for many American automotive powerhouses it’s definitely hard for a singular vehicle to stand out amongst the ocean of greats. The Buick GS is one of the greats. The GS marque stood for Gran Sport and arose from Buick’s ideals of designing and producing cars which were not only fun but also luxurious as well.

Originally a trim designation, the Buick Skylark became a standalone option with the 1964 model year. The second generation Skylark followed in 1968 with a new design. It also featured additional safety features, such as parking lights that illuminated with the car’s headlights, shoulder belts, and side markers. The design was sleek, with the two-door coupes receiving fastback-like styling, a long hood with quad lights, and a simple yet elegant grille up front. While a range of engines were available, our featured 1971 Buick Skylark is powered by the 350-4 This 1971 Skylark could serve as either a great starter classic or a valuable addition to a collection.
In the '60s and '70s muscle cars were all the rage, and it was common for legendary machines to be overshadowed by genius marketing campaigns and muscle legends like the Ford Mustang and the Chevrolet Camaro. Present today is one of those legendary muscle machines that did not receive the spotlight it deserved, and it takes shape with this iconic 1971 Buick Gran Sport Convertible.
It’s the Sixties and the whole ‘personal luxury car’ craze has kicked off thanks to the Ford Thunderbird in 1955. Manufacturers are hopping onto the bandwagon, and the Riviera was Buick’s entry. Produced between 1963 and 1999 over eight generations, the name Riviera means Coastline in Latin, and over 1.1 million were sold throughout its lifetime. This is a 1970 Buick Riviera Sport Coupe from the second generation of the model. It comes from Georgia with 83,185 miles on the odometer and is reported to be a matching engine and transmission-numbers car that has been refreshed over the years. 1970 was the last year of the second generation and the model year received a restyle that included the quad headlamps being almost flush-mounted, redesigned front bumper, and vertical bar grille among others, before the third generation replaced it in 1971 with changed styling once again. This makes the 1970 model particularly desirable, as despite the fact that approximately 37,000 were sold, far fewer are alive and running today. So, if you’re looking for a classic Buick luxury car that is just that little bit more unique than the rest, here’s your ticket.
