GSX - The Buick Super Car7364508

I'll talk about the Allentown Buick dealership, this became a really special car, with it's 455 CID Buick big block, that was pumping out a wonderful 510 FTLB of torque, which in addition, held the record for torque in an American car until 1992, once the Dodge Viper stole it's glory, however the Viper can be a special car, it's not as if we could all own a Viper, but we might all own a Buick GSX, congratulations, you could imagine Buick "That's a grandma car" but would certainly be wrong, oh so wrong. Many a races were lost for this car because of a lack of respect, lots of people were fooled by the name on these cars, but make no mistake, this car was fully competent at beating any car traveling during the muscle car era, a lot of people took these cars lightly, and paid much expense of their disrespect, there were 678 Buick GSX super cars stated in 1970, there were 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; a particular front stabilizer bar; along with a rear spoiler, the GSX also was included with a 4 speed gear box, and a Hurst shifter, the cars also were built with a special graphics kit installed in the factory, which included two racing stripes ruling the hood and deck lid with the car, along with a thin stripe running down either side in the car. The Buick GSX was nothing to laugh at, this car could place you in your spot, fully capable of providing your with a heart-attack style ride, this car had not been for your weak of heart, it turned out most certainly not a grandma car. I am within the automotive business for about 20 or Twenty five years, I have worked in all elements of a, from parts to restoration, various different models, Among the finest to hold people thinking about that old cars because it is where me is.
