Vehicle Description
1970 Buick GSX Stage 1 For Sale - Factory Saturn Yellow Paint With
Black Stripes LMC is very proud to offer for sale this 1970 Buick
GSX Stage 1 Buick made sure the GSX couldn't be mistaken for
anything else on the road, dressing it with hood and body stripes
over the bright paint, front and rear spoilers, color-coordinated
sport mirrors, a hood-mounted tachometer and several GSX emblems.
This wasn't just an appearance package, though. The chassis was
beefed up with Buick's Rally Ride Control Package (stiffer springs
and a rear sway bar), power disc brakes and a performance rear axle
with Positraction. Available only in Apollo White or Saturn Yellow,
they were luxuriously equipped for a muscle car, they featured bold
but relatively restrained styling and ultimately made people sit up
and take notice of Buick, the more conservative brand in the
General's camp. In 1970, Buick sold 678 GSXs, a low number indeed,
especially for a company keen on mass production and high profit
margins. Only 400 of GSX buyers optioned their cars with the Stage
1 Package which took its massive, new-for-1970 455 CI V-8 and added
a high-lift camshaft, larger valves, stiffer valvesprings, a
rejetted carburetor and performance distributor. Its 360 HP was
stout, but it was the 510 lb-ft of torque that would rocket the car
from a stoplight. Magazine road tests in the day saw anywhere from
mid-14 to high-13-second quarter-mile times, strong numbers given
the GSX's 4,000-pound-plus curb weight. This 1970 Buick GSX Stage 1
offered here for sale was produced at the Flint, Michigan plant and
then shipped to Fanning Buick Inc. in Chicago, Illinois to be sold.
Factory ordered in the beautiful Saturn Yellow complemented by a
Black bucket seat interior. The original owner ordered it with the
Stage 1 455ci/360hp engine and it still retains its numbers
matching engine. Other options include Turbo 400 automatic
transmission, full length console, power disc brakes, power
steering, Sonomatic radio, 15inch chrome plated wheels with G60
super wide oval tires, power windows, tilt steering wheel and
instrument gauges with rallye clock. Under previous ownership, it
underwent a complete frame-off restoration and presents today in
beautiful condition. Since the restoration was completed, it has
gone on to win many awards including AACA National First Prize,
GSCA Concours Gold Award and was also invited to be displayed at
the GM Nationals in Carlisle. Included in the sale is documentation
from GS Historical Society outlining the options this car was
ordered with, photos of the restoration, copies of the awards and
more! This isn't your grandfather's Buick, the GSX is a tire
shredding torque monster! Additional Details: 1970 BUICK GSX STAGE
