GSX - The Buick Super Car419720

I'll discuss the Bethlehem Buick dealership, this was an incredibly special car, with it's 455 CID Buick big block, which was pumping out a wonderful 510 FTLB of torque, which by the way, held the record for torque in a American car until 1992, once the Dodge Viper stole it's glory, but the Viper can be a special car, it's not as if we could all possess a Viper, but we're able to all own a Buick GSX, now you might imagine Buick "That's a grandma car" but would certainly be wrong, oh so wrong. Many a races were lost to this car because of a insufficient respect, a lot of people were fooled from the name on these cars, but make no mistake, this car was fully able to beating any car on the road during the muscle car era, a number of people took these cars lightly, and paid a whopping price of their disrespect, there have been 678 Buick GSX super cars stated in 1970, there have been 187 Apollo white GSX Buick's built, and 491 Saturn yellow ones.

The GSX sported a hood mounted tach; 3.42:1 rear gear ratio; G60-15 "billboard" Wide-Oval tires; an exclusive front stabilizer bar; as well as a rear spoiler, the GSX also had a 4 speed gear box, along with a Hurst shifter, the cars also were built with a special graphics kit installed in the factory, including two racing stripes running over the hood and deck lid of the car, along with a thin stripe running down either side with the car. The Buick GSX was nothing to laugh at, this car could put you in your spot, fully capable of providing your having a heart-attack style ride, this car wasn't for the weak of heart, it turned out usually not a grandma car. I've been within the automotive business for about 20 or Twenty five years, I have worked in all of the facets of a, from parts to restoration, various makes and models, One of the better to keep people enthusiastic about the old cars because it is where me is.
