Vehicle Description

This 1972 Buick GS 455 Stage 1 was assembled at the Flint, Michigan plant and initially delivered to Ernie Von Schledorn Pontiac-Buick . Power is supplied by a replacement 455ci V8 that is said to have been overbored and fitted with a 1,050-cfm carburetor, forged pistons, a TA camshaft, MSD ignition, and an aftermarket exhaust with cut-outs. Power is sent to the wheels through a Tremec five-speed manual transmission and a 10-bolt Positraction rear end, and additional equipment includes a Hurst shifter, a rear wing, Edelbrock shocks, power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes, and 17″ Rally-style wheels. This GS 445 Stage 1 is now offered with a reproduction window sticker, partial service records, and a clean Minnesota title in the seller’s name.

Factory finished in Silver Mist (248), the body was reportedly repainted in 2007 during prior ownership. Exterior features include a rear wing, quad headlamps, twin hood scoops, Stage 1 badging, and body-color side mirrors. Finish imperfections are noted by the seller.

Aftermarket 17″ Rally-style wheels are mounted with 255/45 Pirelli Asimmetrico rubber up front and 275/40 Mickey Thompson ET Street tires out back. Braking is handled by power-assisted four-wheel discs, and additional modifications include a dual brake master cylinder and Edelbrock shocks.

The seats are trimmed in black vinyl, and the cabin features faux-woodgrain trim on the dash and door panels. A Painless Performance Products panel featuring fuel pump, water pump, and cooling fan controls has been added to the dash, and the Hurst shifter has been fitted with a cueball knob.

A three-spoke steering wheel frames a 120-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 5k-rpm tachometer, while AutoMeter auxiliary gauges have been added below the dash. The five-digit odometer shows just over 87k miles, though total mileage is unknown.

The replacement 455ci V8 was reportedly bored .030″ over and installed in 2007. A 2014 dyno sheet provided in the gallery showed peak output of approximately 527 horsepower and 691 lb-ft of torque. Modifications are said to include the following components:

MSD ignition system

Forged pistons

Ported cylinder heads

TA Performance single-plane aluminum air intake

TA Performance camshaft, electric water pump, and roller rockers

1,050-cfm carburetor with K&N air cleaner

Mallory distributor

Aluminum radiator with Spal electric fans

Aftermarket exhaust with switchable header cut-outs and integrated side pipes

Power is directed to the rear wheels through a Tremec five-speed manual transmission, a custom-fabricated driveshaft with Spicer u-joints, and a 10-bolt Positraction differential with a TA Performance cover. Additional photos of the underbody are included in the gallery.
