Vehicle Description
1970 Buick GSX "The Velvet Hammer" This is the epitome of high
power, high class muscle car mania. The Buick division had an ear
full of comments about Pontiac GTO Judges and Ram Air GTO, Chevelle
454 W-30's and W-25's. Although their 455 Gran Sport was just as
fast, they didn't have the "Glitzy" Big Engine, Tire Burning
advertised hotrod that the competition had. Someone in the Buick
division said "Enough is enough, Let's show them what Buick is
capable of building.(Afterall, we built tanks in the 2nd World War
that all the tankers dreamed of) A Super Muscle Car should not be a
problem for us. Enter: 1970 Buick GSX Available in white or yellow
colors only. The style was distinctive. The 455 engines, especially
the stage 1 models, terrorized the other manufacturers super cars
on the street or strip. Super star driver Glenn Sox once said, "Not
only did I thump the competition at the dragstrip with my GSX, I
did it with the A/C on and the windows up." I guess that kind of
explains the "Velvet Hammer" connotation. Here is the car. It's
untouched and will need light restoration of paint and engine
compartment. It's never been wrecked, never been apart, never tore
down, nothing! We have every stitch of paperwork on this car from
the build sheet to it's last oil change. Looking for the survivor,
looking for �the beast of buick'? Well, look no further. She's not
cheap, but not over-priced either. She'll be for sale for a month
at this price, but after that it goes to the restoration shop and
the price will go up. The engine is not the original engine.
Apparently a few months after the car was sold, the engine
developed issues and the dealership where it was purchased replaced
the engine, so it is an original 1970 GSX engine, just the numbers
don't match because of this.
