Description of 1969 Buick Skylark GS 400 |
I have decided to place the Gran Sport up for sale. I really enjoy 4-Speed cars and one that I had looked at prior to purchasing the Gran Sport has resurfaced on the market. I have placed an ad on Ebay Motors and the following is the basic information from the Ebay ad.I am the fourth owner of the Gran Sport and this is the history per the last owner.The first owner purchased the car in Canada and had the car for many years. I have receipts for maintenance by the original owner showing mileage into the 70000 + mile range. The car was sold to the second owner a Fireman in New Jersey who also kept the car for 8 or 9 years and sold the car due to poor health. The third owner was also a Fireman and a friend of the previous owner. He retired and brought the car to Florida and also developed health issues which prevented him from maintaining the car to his standard and sold the car to me.All matching numbers. This is a rare big block muscle car as only 7602 Gran Sport 400's were manufactured in 1969. It is very difficult to find one or see one at a car show in this condition.It comes with the original GM Protect-O-Plate metal warranty card as issued to the original owner Owners Warranty booklet showing owner and date of sale and Owners Manual.Also have the original Buick dealership's booklet of information on their 1969 lineup of vehicles including specifications of the Gran Sport 350 and Gran Sport 400.The following is an overview of the car.1. 400 cu.in. engine rated at 340 HP and 440 pounds of torque ( without Ram Air ).

The owner had the original radio which was in amazing condition. I removed the JVC unit and reinstalled the original Am radio. The JVC stereo will fit in the glove box and comes with the wiring harness and installation and operating instructions. Color coded wiring matching the wiring harness were capped under the dash and would be easy to reconnect to the JVC unit. This is becoming more common for people who like the original look but would like to enjoy a more modern sound system. Also the rear speakers are new. This is an option offered to the buyer.
