In the period from 1969-1972, the Muscle Car wars were at fever pitch. When Pontiac introduced the GTO Judge in 1969, with wild 'Carousel Red' (Orange) paint and multi-color stripes, they grabbed the attention of the media and of course, the young male buyers, eager to stand out from the crowd.
Among the General Motors division, Buick was thought of as the conservative, upper scale brand. All of that would change in 1970 with the introduction of the GSX. Under the hood was the division's torque monster 455 cubic-inch engine. In standard form, it produced a highly under-rated 350 horsepower. For a mere $199 more, buyers could opt for the State 1 option, which increased horsepower to 360, while producing a massive 510 pound feet of torque, making it what many consider the most powerful muscle car of the era.
What really makes the GSX stand out is the Saturn Yellow paint, accented by black and red stripes that are unique to this model. Adding full length rear deck and chin spoilers, along with a hood tachometer, upgraded suspension and G60 x 15 tires mounted on chrome Buick Rally wheels sets the stage for the ultimate gentleman's muscle machine.
A mere 479 Stage 1 Automatic GSX's were produced in 1970 in direct response to Chevrolet's LS6 Chevelle SS and Oldsmobiles W-30 442. This prime example of Buick's pinnacle Muscle Machine has been in the current owner's collection for over ten years.
