1970 Buick GSX POV Drive

1970 Buick GSX
The Buick Gran Sport name was first introduced on the 1965 Skylark as a competitor to the Pontiac GTO. The first Gran Sport had a Wildcat 325 horsepower 401 cid "nailhead" V8 and was known as a "gentleman’s Hot Rod".
In 1970 the Gran Sport GSX packed a 350 horsepower 455 cid V8 with 510 ft-lbs of torque beneath its Ram-Air hood. A special "tight" suspension, 3.64 rear end, front/rear spoilers and graphics with only two available color schemes. 678 GSX model were built in 1970 and only 178 were painted Apollo White, with the balance being Saturn Yellow.
The Big Three and AMC were having a grand old time trying to beat each other’s brains out. War has that effect. The weapons of choice included Ford’s mighty 428 and 429 CI artillery, Chrysler’s battalion of 426 Hemi and 440-powered war wagons, and AMC’s underdog guerilla fighters toting warmed-up 390s.
Over at GM, muscle was on the march. The self-imposed 400 CI limit for compacts and intermediates was summarily snuffed, and V-8s could once again be found on the plus-size rack. There was Chevy’s 454/450 HP LS6; Pontiac’s GTO, available with the 400/370 HP Ram Air IV (a 455 CI HO could also be made to order); and Oldsmobile had its 442 W-30 for the fifth model year and its own 455 mazunga that matched the GTO Ram Air IV’s 370 HP rating, as well as a new heavy cruiser from the division that for years owed its success to producing cars purchased by bank managers, aging dowagers and elderly retirees who shopped exclusively at stores offering a senior discount. It was called the Buick GSX.
Rather than stop there, Buick unleashed the GSX in 1970, and, if you listened closely, you could have heard the “Uh-ohs” being muttered among competing brands. And deservedly so. The 1970 Buick GSX, based on the GS455, was to become one of America’s fastest performance cars almost before its only two colors-Saturn Yellow and Apollo White-were completely dry.

My favorite muscle car with my favorite color scheme!

[@TwoGuysandaRide]

Yeah that color scheme was spot on and this is a stunning car.

[@SelfMadeBarber]

God bless you guys for all your hard work....I really love classic muscle cars. My father owned a 74 Charger..nothing special, but I grew up listening to a big engine rumbling the neighborhood and the back seat of the car where I would sit at during my childhood in the late 80s and 90s. He sold it during the early 90s and soon after we later found it abandoned by some agricultural fields completely worthless. I would never forget the look on my fathers face when he got rid of it...but it had to be done. He had nowhere to store it and most of his pay check would go to engine repairs anyway.

[@TwoGuysandaRide]

Hey those are great memories and we appreciate you sharing. We love what we do and we love hearing all the great stories from our viewers! Thanks for watching

[@JohnGruber-di3cw]

The 455 Buick engine is a badass engine I had a 73 big Deuce & 1/4 with posi & shredded a tire completely off of the rim!!! I can only imagine what much lighter skylark GS stage 1 with a four speed manual would do!! It's too bad he didn't jump on it harder!!!

[@TwoGuysandaRide]

Thanks for sharing and for watching!

[@davidlane9138]

I noticed they never 'got on it' at anytime during the video. Wanted to see what it could do

[@TwoGuysandaRide]

So did we but hey, it’s not in our personal collection so we didn’t get to call the shots.

[@allentoyokawa9068]

My Dad has one of these

[@TwoGuysandaRide]

Sweet! Thanks for sharing

[@opera93]

Thanks, great Buick GSX….interestingly, a 1970 CORONETN500/383/4 BBL/ semi Loaded WAS : my first new Car Buy:: the GSX/ Judges GTO/ TORINO TALLED@GAS /especially SUPERBIRD were way out of budget (* just out of Pharmacy School, Purdue)…the Buicks seemed well built,etc.. In 1970, as I looked at several.

[@TwoGuysandaRide]

The Buick was considered the Doctor’s or Lawyers “hot rod” muscle car. Thanks for watching

[@ericyoung1478]

Always looks like a driving simulator when you guys go for a ride in an automobile. :p

[@TwoGuysandaRide]

That’s just my steady hand on the camera.

[@gabrielcontreras263]

Hello, this video was amazing. I have a hood and fenders for a 1970 Buick GSX and it’s with the black and yellow paint. I was wondering if anybody could maybe tell me approximately how much they go for? Thank you all for your time!

[@TwoGuysandaRide]

Hopefully our viewers will respond

[@alphajam1]

I thought the stage II was yellow and the stage I is white? I maybe wrong.

[@TwoGuysandaRide]

We’ll have to Google that and confirm

[@benjigaines7044]

Those Buicks are bad !

[@TwoGuysandaRide]

Bad-ass! Thanks for watching

[@keithranney4753]

Nice car ! Road test sucked !

Beautiful car. Boring ride. Jump on that beast.

[@TwoGuysandaRide]

His car, his rules

[@danielocarey9392]

Big deal. A very potent car cruising around the block. Boring.

[@TwoGuysandaRide]

You’re welcome

[@ZeroBoostBuick]

Most boring ride in the most exciting car ever made.

[@TwoGuysandaRide]

Well when you own one we’ll tag along for your “exciting” ride. The owner drove it how he wanted to drive it

[@rodeleon2875]

snore fest. i could have walked faster. its a muscle car for crying out loud. drive it like one.

[@TwoGuysandaRide]

Thanks for watching

[@johnfritz3741]

Most boring ride I ever had in a GSX. I rather see a couple guys flogging on a granny shift 6 banger. Yes,I know what they are worth but to drive like that I have ZERO use but the motor sounds like it COULD be a beast but we won’t know😐

[@TwoGuysandaRide]

Ok
