    Wow that 1970 GSX wing looks horrible on this car IMO. Looks like something I would have don in the early 1980's!

    Wow. I do love the looks of the car and it's definitely a sporty version of the boring old man car Buick was turning out normally. I wanted one of those bad 20-25ish years ago and they were hard to come by then.

    I do agree with Jeff, the wing looks way out of place and very early 1980s.

    This has gotta be a rare car. Heck even finding a 73-74 GS is a challenge.

    There’s a great YouTube that Bud Lindemann does on the road test of a ‘73 Grand Sport/455. They really loved the car, especially in light of what wasn’t available after 1971.

    GRAN (no "D") Sport. Us Buick guys get kind of sensitive about that....

    Sorry. I’m sure it was an auto correct I didn’t catch. Lol. Yes Gran Sport. Those were certainly hot cars in an era that they stood out. I can’t believe what the ‘80’s Gran Sports continue to fetch.

    You mean the GranD (with a "D") National's? Buick did not help their cause using that name but yes, I know the reason why.

    I have a couple of those and a GNX. Fun cars!!
