restoration in 2021, which included NOS parts. Documented with the
Sloan Museum report and Window Sticker. Displayed in the Class of
1970 Buick Stage 1 display at the by-invitation-only Muscle Car and
Corvette Nationals in Rosemont, Il., November 2021. Originally sold
by Smyly Buick. The Stage 1 engine was reported to produce 360hp
from the factory, where actual tests proved output was closer to
425hp. However, the 510 ft/lbs of torque was enough to earn the
reputation as one of the top five fastest muscle cars in 1970. The

posi-traction rear end. Interior attributes include: a full-length
center console, bucket seats, power steering and brakes, and a tilt
