This is a remarkably original, low mileage example of Buick’s ‘personal luxury coupe’.

With just 39,200 miles from new, the car has had just three owners, the last two of whom have been prominent collectors whose understanding of the car’s originality has been paramount.

It has its original 455 cu-in V8 motor and Turbo 400 transmission.

The car was imported to Australia by Buick collector extraordinaire, the late Les Woodruff for his House of Buick museum, which was Australia’s pre-eminent Buick collection. When the House of Buick contents were sold-off, another WA collector bought it along with several other Buicks.

The condition of the car today – as a time capsule showing pretty much how the car was first sold in 1973 – is impressive. Finished in Brown Metallic Code S68, very much a colour of the era, coming back into fashion today, sitting on its stylish (factory option) Buick Rallye wheels, it’s a car which certainly makes a statement.

The interior has the optional 60-40 front seat setup, with central ‘occasional seat’ position. The inside of this car is in excellent, original condition with all the trim and hardware in impressive condition. It has optional air conditioning, a tilt adjustable steering wheel, AM/FM stereo sound system, power mirrors and all the luxury features GM could dream up in 1973.

The dual exhaust system is a clue to the car having the Stage 1 option, which gave an additional 10 horsepower of 260 hp (194 kW) and a limited slip differential. The motor in this car purrs, as one would expect. It’s recently had a carburettor overhaul which has improved its smoothness.

There’s excellent club support nation-wide and good parts availability from the USA. The car has been priced to sell. Don’t miss the opportunity.
