This Buick Special got away, but there are more like it here.
This Buick Special is one of a reported 1,577 California GS models produced for 1967 and is powered by a 340ci V8 linked with a two-speed automatic transmission. It is finished in ivory with a black vinyl roof over black vinyl upholstery and was featured on BaT in 2014. Equipment includes Rallye-Style 14″ wheels, power steering, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, a push-button radio, and a dual exhaust system. This California GS was acquired by the seller in 2023 and is now offered with a clean Arizona title in the seller’s name.
The California GS package was offered only in California and was based on the thin-pillar Buick Special coupe body and added GS badges and chrome moldings. This example was refinished in ivory under previous ownership and features red pinstriping and a black vinyl roof in addition to chrome bumpers and dual hood scoops. The “I” is missing from the Buick lettering on the trunk lid, and there is missing paint on the leading edge of the right front fender.
Rallye-Style 14″ wheels are mounted with 225/70 BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires. The car is equipped with power steering, and braking is handled by four-wheel drums.
The cabin features two rows of bench seats that were reupholstered in black vinyl under previous ownership. They are accompanied by a color-coordinated dashboard, door panels, and carpets, and appointments include manual-crank windows and a push-button radio.
The wood-rimmed steering wheel fronts a horizontal-sweep 120-mph speedometer and a fuel level gauge while an Auto Meter coolant temperature gauge is positioned beneath the dash. The five-digit odometer shows 46k miles, approximately 100 of which were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.
The 340ci V8 was reportedly rebuilt under previous ownership, and it is equipped with a chrome air cleaner cover.
Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a two-speed automatic transmission that is said to have been overhauled under previous ownership. The car is equipped with a dual exhaust system.
Decoding the VIN reveals the following information:
- Division 4 – Buick
- Series 33 – Special V6
- Body 07 – Two-door sport coupe pillar post
- Model Year 7 – 1967
- Assembly Z – Fremont, California
- Production Sequence – 106188
The Arizona title lists a ‘2’ in place of the ‘Z’ in the VIN sequence.
