"I'm safe driving my automatic trans car around."
Well if you think about it, out of 1,303 auto's GS400 convertibles made and you take out 60%(the rule of thumb for muscle cars)Then that only leaves 521(or less) left on the road, not many!!!

The one sold on B-J was Red with a 4 speed.
Here some more info on the 69 GS:
1969 To fend off increasing competition, the 1969 Buick GS finally received standard functional hood scoops for cold-air induction. Buick claimed this increased horsepower by 8% and torque by 6% throughout the rev band but did not change the ratings of the engines. The GS350 and California GS powered by the 350 cid engine continued but the big news for 1969 was the addition of two options for the 400 engine, the base motor(340hp) and the Stage 1 officially pegged at a mere 345bhp, or just a 5 bhp increase over the base 400 cid engine. (Experts believe that it was more like 390bhp and it dropped 1/4 mile times by 1 second or more.)
Production for 1969:
GS350 2 Door thin pillar Coupe: 3,574
GS350 2 Door Hardtop: 6,305
GS400 2 Door Hardtop: 6,346
GS400 Stage 1 Hardtop: 1,256
GS400 Convertible: 1,564

The 1968 Buick GS underwent a drastic structural change for 1968, losing 3 inches of wheelbase and 4.4 inches of overall length. Overall weight increase due in part to massive rear end styling and sail creases along the sides. The junior GS's power plant received an increase to 350 cubic inches but the 400 cubic inch unit stayed the same. A new model was introduced, the California GS. Sold exclusively in California, this model was basically a GS350 but with special "California" badges and trim, a standard two speed automatic transmission, a vinyl top, chrome exterior trim and wheels, and the Deluxe steering wheel. A very rare dealer installed option was also introduced in 1968 and it treated the 400 cid engine with a hotter cam, 11.0:1 compression, stronger valve springs and a reworked transmission. Officially pegged at a mere 345bhp, or just a 5 bhp increase over the base 400 cid engine, experts believe that it was more like 390bhp and it dropped 1/4 mile times by 1 second or more. It was called the "Stage 1 Special Package"( very rare for 1968) and was an indicator of great things to come.
Production for 1968:
GS350 2 Door thin pillar Coupe: 4,831
GS350 2 Door Hardtop: 8,317
GS400 2 Door Hardtop: 10,743
GS400 Convertible: 2,454
Engines:
GS350: 350 V8 280 bhp @ 4,600rpm, 375 lb-ft @ 2,800 rpm.
GS400: 400 V8 340 bhp @ 5,000rpm, 440 lb-ft @ 3,200 rpm.
Performance:
400/340: 0-60 in 5.8 sec, 1/4 mile in 14.2 sec @ 97 mph.

"What were the differences in the 350 Quadrajet and the 350 stage 1 engine..or the GS 350? are there any reference books you'd recommend that I could get to guide me through this?"
Buick never offered the Stage 1 in a 350. The differences are the HP and the Torque from the stock 350(230hp and torque was about 340) to the GS350 (280hp and torque was at 375 @2,800rpm). Hope this helps!
1969 To fend off increasing competition, the 1969 Buick GS finally received standard functional hood scoops for cold-air induction. Buick claimed this increased horsepower by 8% and torque by 6% throughout the rev band but did not change the ratings of the engines.
