1972 Buick GS Stage-1 Gran Sport Zone Convertible

1972 Buick Gran Sport Stage 1 Additional Info:

For sale is my 72 stage-1 convertible Zone car.

This 1972 Stage-1 convertible is the # 9 Zone car which is Cincinnati Warehouse OH. Then sent to Tatone Buick INC for retail.

This car has had a body on restoration back in 90’s. This car seems it has Not had or needed any rust repair. I believe this Stage-1 has all its original body panels. Very nice interior and new top. The 72 stage-1 engine and trans have a recent rebuild and original N25 tips.

The engine (1238861) is a 72 455 Stage-1 with the correct casting numbers, built to better than 72 specs. The engine has many. upgrades that you do not see, arp bolts, better compression forged pistons (9.8), balanced, high flow stainless Stage-1 valves (70.5 CC ave), pac springs, PC seals, true roller and so much more. The stage-1 carb (7042242) was rebuilt as well as the stage-1 distributor (1112016). I do have the engine complete specs and details, just too much info for an ad.

The Original numbers matching BB trans was also rebuilt with a NOS modulator and new HD Coan converter.

This convertible has its original floors, trunk etc. I have added a picture link showing this and much more. You will see some of the original sound deading as with age some has flaked off.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. 248-270-8414
