GSX - The Buick Super Car7693966
I am going to chat about the Allentown Buick dealership, it was an incredibly special car, with it's 455 CID Buick big block, that's pumping out an incredible 510 FTLB of torque, which in addition, held the record for the best torque in a American car until 1992, once the Dodge Viper stole it's glory, but the Viper is often a special car, it is not as if we could all own a Viper, but we will all possess a Buick GSX, you may think Buick "That's a grandma car" but you would be wrong, oh so wrong. Many a races were lost to this car because of a deficiency of respect, a number 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, many people took these cars lightly, and paid huge tariff of their disrespect, there were 678 Buick GSX super cars created 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; an exclusive front stabilizer bar; plus a rear spoiler, the GSX also included a 4 speed gear box, along with a Hurst shifter, the cars also were built with a special graphics kit installed through the factory, including two racing stripes ruling the hood and deck lid in the car, along with a thin stripe running down either side in the car.
The Buick GSX was not laugh at, this car could put you in your spot, fully competent at providing your with a heart-attack style ride, this car wasn't for that weak of heart, it had been most certainly not a grandma car.
I am inside the automotive business for around 20 or 25 years, I've worked in all elements of a, from parts to restoration, various different models and makes, I just want to hold people considering that old cars as it's where my heart is.
