      Though it might not have the name recognition as some of its competitors, the Buick Gran Sport — or GS — was one of the best luxury muscle cars of the 1960s and early-1970s. It started life as an option package on the Buick Skylark and Buick Riviera from 1965–1966, before becoming a stand alone model based on the Skylark from 1967–1972.
      The Buick Stage 2 GS was a planned factory option for the 1970 Buick GS 455 that never panned out. It consisted of a 450+ horsepower version of the Buick 455 V8, but never officially released. However, buyers could still get the Stage 2 parts from certain dealers and install them, to have unofficial Stage 2 Gran sports.
      For Stage 3 customers, they also got a smaller supercharger pulley, and gained 30 horsepower over stock for 270 horsepower and 312 lb-ft of torque total. As of 2024, Buick has not returned the GS or GSX monikers on any of their lines. Hopefully, in the future they will resurrect them with a new luxury modern muscle car for the ages.
      It was in 1965 that Buick first introduced the Gran Sport package for both the Skylark and Riviera lines. At first, it was just a performance option that included a bigger and more powerful engine. It was the closest thing to a Buick muscle car, as the Grand National was still decades away.
