The Story

As part of Buick’s Gran Sport lineup, the GS400 was introduced to compete in the growing muscle car market while maintaining the brand’s signature sophistication. The 1968 model year brought a fresh redesign with clean body lines, a more aggressive front fascia and distinctive GS badging. The convertible variant adds open-air enjoyment, making it a rare and highly desirable collector's piece today. Inside, the GS400 featured upscale appointments for its time, including bucket seats, optional wood-grain trim and a full array of gauges.

Built at the Kansas plant, this 1968 Buick GS400 Convertible has been repainted in the correct Code D Blue Mist color. Under the hood rests the matching-numbers 400/340 HP big-block engine. Options include an automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes, a tilt wheel, Buick Rally wheels, bucket seats and a console, a power top and air conditioning. With its balance of muscle and elegance, the 1968 Buick GS400 Convertible stands out as a unique player in the muscle car era—ideal for those who appreciate performance with a touch of class.
