Lot S107 1970 Buick GSX Stage-1 Hardtop 455/360 HP 4-Speed

[avian345]

Eu tenho uma réplica deste carro em escala 1/18, modelo de metal em miniatura da marca ERTL.

O Buick do video é igual a minha réplica, pois sou colecionador de miniaturas em metal

e esse Buick é um dos meus preferidos da minha coleção.

[nathanisthetruth]

i gotta model exactly like this

[judgegixxer]

I gotta quit watching these muscle car videos because I'm getting depressed.

[bigblueowx]

under rated back then for insurance costs purposes.

[mikelikeltj2]

awesome..........

[gwm666]

If we removed the emblems, spoilers, swapped in a 350 2v, and changed to a standard hood, it wouldn't be a GSX anymore would it? Not much of one anyway.

[DrBIeed]

Just got back from the Buick GS nationals last weekend. Dad has a Grand National which is beautiful in its own right, but my god these GS'es in person are so sexy.

[magnum9987]

That makes at least 500HP, BTW. 510FTLB easy

[magnum9987]

@bastardeyez Doesn't everybody know that muscle cars were ALWAYS under rated from the factory? The Regular GS455 produced as much as 440 HP, and with the Stage 1 package, with new cams, valves, carbs, and ram air intake, it easily produced 500HP.

[retained4321]

@magnum9987 u know nothing about motors obviously, I have a 70 buick 455 motor with around 55,000 miles on it and it pushes no where near 440 let alone 500 horse. It was dynoedand was getting around 340 and that was with a built carb. 500 horse would put u in the 11's or maybe high 10's in a vehicle of this weight. Learn about HP.

[buixrule]

@retained4321 340 horse sounds about right for a standard 455. My 70 455 motor dynoed at 430 hp and 530 torque but my heads have some porting done. Send your heads to Gessler Head Porting and see the difference it makes.

[impalaSS65]

@retained4321 Neither do you, bigmouth. When you dyno an engine there are many factors that needs to be monitored - engine accessoiries cause drag and lowers the output figures compared to the muscle era figures. Like alternator, waterpump, powersteering, AC and exhaust like cast manifolds and full system. Air pressure, altitude, air temperature makes a big difference too. Unless these factors are known, and corrected for by calibrated instruments, comparing dynofigures is futile.

[buickgs1970]

Very nice car......I have a 70 GS455 Convertible.

[Woodsballerman]

DOWNRIGHT DAMN SEXY!

[camarojuana]

Great tune written about these very cars called hemikiller.

[tyIerz06]

Wow. Incredible when you think this was before all the technology and engineering they have in today's engines. Pure raw power.

[skatepunkzero]

Why doesn't GM make cars like this anymore, instead of those new crappy wannabe muscle cars they put out.

[lt1tyrell]

@skatepunkzero Emission and safety standards make it impossible which is too bad.

[DONDIVA1969]

Hemi Killer

[GamertagRacer5353]

Fastest Muscle car of 1970, lost to the Hemi's after Chrysler Corp. stepped up there game :(

[sigurd1979]

mmmm

[meduzka4482]

it's a hot wheels car!

[mikeb1444]

GM ought to hire the guy that re-designed the new Dodge Challenger to re-make it again with the same engine, except all aluminum and fuel injected.

[joshual1887]

what? GM and Dodge are 2 different companies, and the 6.1 liter Hemi is fuel injected, and is available aluminum.

[mikeb1444]

@joshual1887

I don't like the looks of the Camaro, and if GM could bring back the GSX, I don't want it to look gay like the Camaro. If GM were to re-make the GSX, I would want it to be a new car, not 1970 re-production. If it was styled all edgy like the Camaro, I wouldn't buy it. If it was smoother like the Challenger or the Mustang, I would. I would want it to have an Aluminum engine block, for good handling via the light front end.

[joshual1887]

one thing ur missing: the camaro, challenger, and mustang are pony cars. if the GS or GSX was brought back it would be as a 70's era re-production. if it was just a brand new car without the simularities then why call it a GSX? the camaro looks edgy agreed. but when you look at it you know its a camaro. as far as an aluminum block goes, its already made. look up "LS7" its the same engine in the new z06 corvette and Hennesey racing puts them in new camaros and cadillac cts-V's. 700hp

[mikeb1444]

@joshual1887

I look at the Camaro and I say, "child's dream car." I look at the Challenger and say, 70's muscle car, made new again. A new GSX with that build style would be luscious, as a "personal luxury sports car," like the M3. Nice interior, lightweight, lots of power, and a very compliant car to drive, no understeer. Yeah, an LS7 would be good.

[joshual1887]

just looked at buicks website. bad news. there are plans for a buick regel gs...basically it's a 4-door performance sedan much like pontiacs former G8. but thats the way thing go nowadays. 4 door charger,4 door malibu, ford taurus sho. nice cars but u just dnt see too many midsize 2 door sports cars anymore

[mikeb1444]

That regal is supposed to have FWD. 2.0 liter, direct injected, turbocharged four-cylinder good for 260HP. That's got to be good for a sub 7 second 0-60. Not bad. There's sketches of the new Malibu floating around out there. That car has a different profile. It may be a re-badged G8.

[joshual1887]

theres also a few rumors of the return of the caprice. it would start in europe and is a rebaged G8. still an interesting idea and the G8 has the engine id like to see in the buick GS

[mikeb1444]

@joshual1887

The Caprice IS back... as a cop car nonetheless, itself a re-badged G8. Check it out on Autoblog.

[FlushieJohnson]

@mikeb1444 I don't really like the look of the newest mustang, but I think Dodge had the right idea with the Challenger. A GSX in the Camaro body would be wrong since the GSX was a big bulky, 2+ ton vehicle, like most Buicks and Caddy's at the time. The Camaro was, like you said, a pony car. If they were to bring the GSX back, I think they should bring the Chevelle back with it and built them both on the same frame. Make the GS and LT Chevelle with LS3s, and GSX and SS Chevelle with LS7s

[kronoseclipse]

@mikeb1444 there were a couple that past two tonsbtw

[mikeb1444]

@kronoseclipse I looked it up. Yeah, you're right. I figured since the car is so simalar to the Chevelle, it would weigh close to that... Guess not.

[GS455Stage1]

@mikeb1444 I hate to tell the truth about what you said on this post about "No muscle car ever crested 2 tons is totally incorrect. I personally don't know where all of this misinformation is coming from, however, I will tell you that before writing about something, please check the GM original specification book before writing. The general rule for the GS455 / Stage1 or GSX455 is around 3800lbs+. The reason, most cars came with many options ex: ps/p-disc brakes/ac/-etc. Very few bare bones.

[mikeb1444]

@FlushieJohnson

gotta correct myself. The GSX did weigh 4000 pounds.

[Jay500500500]

fuck the 572. build a Buick 585 Those get to 800 torque. btw Mackadonian is right. Buick GSX beat every 1970 car, including HEMIs.

[Deepsr]

umm save for the AAR cuda... i refer gsx but those fuckers were too fast lol(cuda)

[blackout000013]

what a beauty my 70 skylarks got the the 350 wish i that that under the hood

[psychoclown420]

you should get a 572. they only cost $19,000

[psychoclown420]

So are the gsx and the chevelle corporate cousins, because they look virtually the same except for the grille. the gto also looked kinda liike them.

[Jbotone]

The GSX, GS, (Skylark), Chevelle, GTO, & Olds 442 are all corporate cousins. If you had them all side by side you can tell they are related, but have very distinct differences. Engines and interiors were completely different.

[FANADICALCOWHEAD]

Well back then GM used a lot of the same parts. For example the trans am and camaro. Even Chrysler did re-used parts from their other cars, Cuda and challenger. I think The Chevelle, GTO and GSX used the same chassis and body.

[psychoclown420]

yeah, i was a noob then. They are all based on GM's "A" body. Plus gm shared engines across the line

[daphlavor]

Hemis are for girls, those cars couldn't get out of their own way. This has been proven at numerous Buick Vs Mopar races, every time the GS dominates, do your homework.

[MannePalmqvisst]

a gsx cant beat a hemi!

[MACKADONIAN]

it might be an insult to the gsx, but giv me this car in cherry red, hell yeah!!!

[FeltyInkPen]

The Gran Sport Fucking Shits On You

[Skylarkman]

DAMN i miss my 72 GS

[666callnow]

well if it was a stock SHELBY cobra lol then ya could see that this is the second fastest mussel car only beaten by the Shelby cobra

[starchief59]

A Shelby Cobra isn't a muscle car, it's a sports car so it doesn't even count.

And no, a Torino could not beat a GSX. Maybe the GSX didn't know he was racing

[slowflame]

your dad sucks man

[mattmarinoisgay69]

yea your dad lied

[cannarris]

Your dad lied to you.

[09adge13]

one of the greatest and fastest muscle cars ever built. the 455 was almost impossible to beat due to its high amount of torque of 510 which beats ass. i was watching documentarys of this car a while back they said even chryslers hemi struggle against it on the drag strip very nice car indeed and a great history behind it

[GPryan]

I always thought the '70 chevelle ss 454 ls6 was one of the fastest and put out the most power in the muscle car era.

[09adge13]

it was one of the fastest the chevelle hold its own to the gsx and made more power at 450 compared to gsx with 360 or close to 400 but the 455 had more torque than the 454 with 510 compared to the chevelle with 500 plus the gsx weighed less than the chevelle. i know chryslers hemi used to get beat by this car because of its torque but idk know if the gsx can beat the chevelle also

[AGHHF]

i wached a show about the fastest muscle cars and it said the buick 455 could beat the chevelle 454. Buicks are definately known for torque

[09adge13]

the gsx to me was kind of underrated i never knew this car was capable of kicking the hemi and 454s ass at the strip i want one now ha

[AGHHF]

have fun trying to find a real gsx. only 678 of them were made in 1970 and only 124 were made in 1971. you could get a skylark or a gs and clone it into a gsx. Im cloneing mine into a GS because everyone would know that mine was a clone but not if its a gs. and not all could beat a hemi.

[09adge13]

i know it couldnt beat all the hemi mopars but some did struggle against the 455 at the strip back in the day

[oldsmobileboy]

o yea these gsx, stage 2 have 550 ft lbs of torque

[THEUrinalCake]

Grand National was the GNX T type Regal in 1982-87. This is the 70 GSX Grand Sport. Whole different animal, although the GNX was about as close to this level of badass as Buick would ever see again.

[buickgn1971]

Grand National Baby!

[badassgarage]

this is my dream car

[searsgremlin]

one of buicks best cars like the 1966 rivera or the regale t-type. and this one.

[kylerocks666]

yes one of the fastest but you gotta face some facts of the driver to

[kylerocks666]

id rather a torina cobra 429 cobra jet

[camirocz]

never

[NobleLumpkin]

Then why are you watching this video? Go somewhere else.

[kylerocks666]

i like the car but id rather a torino

[NobleLumpkin]

That is your prerogative. I respect that.

[kylerocks666]

btw my dad beat one of these in his stock torino 429 cobra jet n the gsx was tubed with new pistons carburators n my dad beat it so whats up?

[tadeh3]

429 cobra jet has 375 hp, 455 stage 1 has 415 to 425, an the 455 stage 1 has 510 lbs of torque, while the super cobra jet has 450 lbs

[NobleLumpkin]

I love the fact that this Buick is possibly the fastest muscle car every made, most people don't realize that. Old man car my ass!!!

[tadeh3]

lol ya i sware

[mikeb1444]

Someone in my town has one. My Jealousy peaks.

[OverHedge99]

Jack it

[mikeb1444]

I'm down.

[transameric]

wtf? haha

[mikeb1444]

Which comment?

[transameric]

the "jack it"...im down haha idk it was funny to me for some reason

[mikeb1444]

Oh, yeah. That's the common response down here. One time, I said to one of my pals that my neighbors had a meth lab and that we should go check it out. Without missing a beat, he said, "I'm down, let's check that shit out." and then four seconds later, he said "You're joking, right?"

[transameric]

haha thats awesome im using that one soon its so short but it gets to the point ;)

[Deepsr]

and sell it 2 me lol

[Deepsr]

seriously... my uncle who owned only mopars told me that the average age of a buick owner is deceased... lol then i showed him the video of the 72 skylark grandpa burnout. he changed tunes pretty fast

[mikeb1444]

Out of any Car, I would Choose this. But with EFI conversion during these modern times.

[jasonv8]

That is 1 awesome car!!
