One of just 11 registry-listed 1971 GS Stage 1 Zone Demonstrator convertibles, this Buick was a rare classic straight from the factory. Combine that with a detailed, ground-up restoration that wraps correct Cortez Gold over a Pearl interior with a 455/700R4 drivetrain, and you realize this storied drop-top is an excellent opportunity to invest in some very exclusive Detroit muscle.
Zone Demo GS cars were unique in two ways. For starters, they all sported Buick's new-for-1971 Cortez Gold paint between White convertible tops and snazzy Pearl interiors. And secondly, they were pretty much fully-optioned from the factory. Delivered to the Buick Zone Office in Jacksonville, Florida in August of 1970, this GS is 1 of roughly 25 Zone Demo convertibles produced for the 1971 model year. Its current condition comes courtesy of a comprehensive, body-off restoration that left no stone unturned.
Drivability was a major focus during this Stage 1's comprehensive rebirth. The usual assortment of goodies, like factory induction and a spry Quadra-Jet carburetor, join upgrades like an MSD distributor, long-tube headers and MSD Super Conductor plug wires to twist big power into massive torque. That torque rolls through a trusty 700R4 4-speed, which sends power through a familiar 10-bolt axle. That road-ready drivetrain rolls on a tagged Rallye Ride Control Suspension, which pairs factory power steering with better springs, better shocks, a thicker front sway bar, a standard rear sway bar and boxed rear control arms. Naturally, the car's power-assisted discs and drums have been completely rebuilt to factory specifications. The polished headers dump spent gasses into large-diameter pipes, which make excellent use of dual-chamber Flowmaster mufflers that finish through a bumper-piercing exhaust. And at the corners, chrome Buick Rallyes twist G60-15 Goodyear Polyglas GTs around red, white and blue center caps.
Other optional extras include: bench seats with optional power operation for the front passengers, pick-free door panels that front factory power windows and factory power door locks, restored Rallye telemetry above factory air conditioning, Mallory accessory gauges, vintage AM/FM radio, Cruise Control, and a tilting steering column.
