GSX - The Buick Super Car8544762
I'll chat about the Bethlehem Buick dealership, it was an incredibly special car, with it's 455 CID Buick big block, that has been pumping out an incredible 510 FTLB of torque, which mind you, held the record for torque within an American car until 1992, once the Dodge Viper stole it's glory, nevertheless the Viper is a special car, it is not as if we could all own a Viper, but we're able to all possess a Buick GSX, congratulations, you may think Buick "That's a grandma car" but you'd be wrong, oh so wrong. Many a races were lost to this particular car as a result of insufficient respect, a lot of people were fooled through the name on these cars, but make no mistake, this car was fully able to beating any car on the highway during the muscle car era, many people took these cars lightly, and paid a heavy price of their disrespect, there was 678 Buick GSX super cars stated in 1970, there was 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 special front stabilizer bar; along with a rear spoiler, the GSX also was included with a 4 speed gear box, along with a Hurst shifter, the cars also were built with a special graphics kit installed through the factory, which included two racing stripes running over the hood and deck lid with the car, and a thin stripe running down each side of the car.
