The Buick Grand Sport of 1965-1970 was a true muscle car marvel, sneaking a 401-cubic-inch V8 under the hood despite a 400-inch limit—talk about bending the rules! By 1967, the Grand Sport brought along its siblings, the GS 340 and GS California, all dressed to impress with fancy badges. Fast forward to 1970, the GS 455 flexed its 455-cubic-inch muscles, offering a Stage 1 that could make even the Chrysler Hemis sweat. And let’s not forget the GSX Stage 1 in Saturn yellow—it was the fashion icon of the muscle car world!

In 1966, the Buick Riviera GS was the car equivalent of that rare, vintage bottle of wine you find in your grandparent’s attic—only 5,718 were ever made, making it a true collector’s gem. With its sleek curves and more style than a tuxedo-wearing peacock, the Riviera GS was a majestic beast on the road. So, what do you think about this one? Could it be the automotive unicorn we’ve been searching for, or just another reason to break out those bell-bottoms and groove to some classic tunes?
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!
