I had a 69 GS 400 as well. I sold it about 8 years ago. I still miss that car. Verde Green with tan interior. Buckets, console and sport steering wheel.

My twin. Same color and everything.

The '68 & '69 Skylark and Gran Sport were great looking cars. It's like a '69 Chevelle and one of those custom '49 Mercury's had a baby. Once you see one in person, that's it!

I just bought a ‘68 GS400 convertible w/ 3-speed Hurst shifted manual…

[@tholmes2169]

Interesting car, I think the 3 speed is the rarest transmission option on these cars. I have a 68 Skylark with the 350/4 and a super turbine 300 (2 speed). They are fun cars.

My dad had 65 69 and a 70 great cars

GM should have allowed these GS in the late 60's to have the option of the 430 engines. GM had some fantastic 7 liter v8s.

Oh wait... covid broke.

Trying to get mine started after a long rest. Any suggestions on the correct oil ?. Thanks

[@tholmes2169]

10w-30 with a high zinc content is good. I’ve used the Lucas brand hot rod and classic oil. Seems fine.

[@andand2581]

@@tholmes2169 thank you good sir.
