For Sale: 1970 Buick Gran Sport in Alsip, Illinois

With The 1970 Buick Gran Sport 455 Buick Quietly Built A Machine That Combined Brute Torque, Surprising Refinement, And Unmistakable Style.

Introduced At The Peak Of The Muscle Car Wars, The 1970 GS 455 Replaced The Earlier GS 400 And Immediately Made A Statement. Under The Hood Sat Buick's Massive 455 Cubic Inch V8, Officially Rated At 350 hp And A Staggering 510 lb-ft Of Torque. While The Horsepower Numbers Seemed Modest Compared To Some Competitors, Buick Intentionally Underrated Their Engines. In Real-World Performance, The GS 455 Was Brutally Quick, Especially Off The Line, Thanks To Its Enormous Low-End Torque. It Could Sprint From 0-60 mph In Roughly 5.5 Seconds, Which Was Extremely Impressive For The Time.

The Optional Stage 1 Package Pushed The GS 455 Into Elite Territory. With Higher Compression, Improved Airflow, And Performance Tuning, The Stage 1 Variant Is Widely Considered One Of The Fastest American Production Cars Of 1970, Capable Of Running Mid-13 Second Quarter Miles Straight From The Factory.

Stylistically, The 1970 GS 455 Carried Buick's Signature Blend Of Aggression And Luxury. It Featured A Muscular Body Design With A Distinctive Grille, Dual Hood Scoops, And Clean But Bold Lines. Inside, The Car Reflected Buick's Upscale Reputation With Comfortable Bucket Seats, Woodgrain Trim, And High-Quality Materials Uncommon In Many Other Muscle Cars Of The Era.

Today, The 1970 Buick Gran Sport 455 - Especially Stage 1 And GSX Models - Is Highly Collectible And Respected Among Enthusiasts. It Represents The Peak Of Buick's Muscle Car Engineering And Remains A Symbol Of Raw Torque, Sleeper Performance, And Classic American Automotive Craftsmanship.

In 1970, 2,465 GS Stage 1 Coupes Were Built. Of This Number, Only 16 Were Built With The Three Speed Manual Transmission. It Is Estimated By Buick Registries That Less Than Nine Exist Today.
No Detail Was Overlooked On This Frame-Off Restoration Which Adheres To Factory Stage 1 Specifications. The Car Retains The Original 455 Engine And Limited Slip Ten Bolt Differential. The Car Had Only 26,874 Documented Original Miles When The Engine Was Rebuilt; Only 4,200 Break In Miles Since.
The Stage 1 Engine Option Consisted Of A More Aggressive Camshaft, Higher Compression, Unique Cylinder Heads With The Larger 2.13" Intake And 1.755" Exhaust Valves, A Specially Tuned 4 Barrel Rochester Quad-Jet Carburetor, More Aggressive Ignition Timing, 5/8" Oil Pickup Tube, And A Higher Numerical Final Drive Ratio.
