In 1971, the Buick GS 350 decided to go green—or as green as a muscle car can get—by sipping on regular unleaded gasoline and adding a catalytic converter to cut down on those pesky emissions. While it’s now down by 55 ponies compared to last year, it’s still got enough zip to get you noticed. With 89,1070 units produced, and 902 as convertibles, the GS 350 is more common than your neighbor’s cat but just as cherished. A tip of the hat to Gateway Classic Cars for the drool-worthy images!
The 1971 Buick GS will run on regular unleaded gasoline to accommodate the catalytic converter, with lower toxic exhaust emissions the goal. The standard factory equipment 350 is now a lower compression engine producing 55 less HP than last year. There were 89,1070 of the GS produced in ’71 and 902 of them were convertibles. The balance and majority of the GS manufactured in ’71 were 2 door hard tops-at 88,000 plus units.
