GSX – The Buick Super Car

I’m going to talk about the 1970 Buick GSX, this was a very special car, with its big-block Buick 455 CID, which was pumping out an incredible 510 FTLB of torque, which by the way, held the record for the most torque. in an American car until 1992, when the Dodge Viper stole its glory, but the Viper is a special car, it’s not like we could all have a Viper, but we could all have a Buick GSX, now you may think that Buick “That’s it. a grandmother because “but you’d be wrong, oh, so wrong.

Many races were lost with this car due to disrespect, many people were misled by the name of these cars but make no mistake, this car was fully capable of beating any car on the road during the muscle car era . Many people took these cars lightly and paid a high price for their disrespect, there were 678 Buick GSX supercars built in 1970, there were 187 white Apollo built Buick GSXs and 491 Saturn yellows.

The GSX sported a hood-mounted tachometer; 3.42: 1 rear gear ratio; G60-15 “Billboard” Wide-Oval Tires; a special front stabilizer bar; and a rear spoiler, the GSX also came with a 4-speed gearbox and Hurst shifter, the cars also had a special factory-installed graphics kit, which included two racing stripes running over the hood and the car deck lid, and a thin stripe running down both sides of the car.

The Buick GSX was nothing to laugh at, this car could put it in its place, fully capable of giving you a heart attack style ride, this car was not for the faint of heart, it was certainly not a grandmother’s car .
