1970 Buick GSX 455 Stage 1 4-Speed Muscle Car Of The Week Video #45
Here's one for the Buick fans... a 1970 Buick GSX 455 Stage 1 4-Speed in Saturn Yellow! Buick made 678 of these luxo-rockets in 1970, and they were certainly out of character for the Buick brand. Producing 360 horsepower and 510 ft. lbs. of torque, these capable street brawlers were running with the fastest Muscle Cars from any manufacturer. In fact, Motor Trend Magazine clocked a Stage 1 car running the quarter mile in 13.35 seconds @ 105.5 mph in '70, fast enough to be called their quickest test of 1970. The Brothers Collection never disappoints, and it certainly appeals to all Muscle Car brands.
In this episode, we take a look at the history of the Buick GSX, along with 1970 Buick GSX 455 Stage 1 specs.

The greatest and the best looking muscle car they ever produced.
I think Monte Carlos and cutlasses are the best looking in my opinion
@@treysf4154 Great choices... Olds Hurst perhaps? And Monte's and Chevelles were outstanding as well.
1969 model is best looking
@@treysf4154 You have good taste my friend! I own a 72 gs stage 1 as well as a 71 Monte SS. I like having the more unknown muscle cars!
I've never owned a Pontiac, but if I had to pick the greatest, it would be a Ram Air IV GTO. Lots of awesome A bodies over the years though.
From 1997 to 2017 I had the privilege of owning the documented highest optioned GSX ever built.
It was a ‘70 Stage 1 with nearly every option that was available that year.
Of my 5 GS cars, it was certainly the best one.
Randy
My god, this car is *beautiful* -- and it looks like it came fresh from the factory, just *pristine.* . So great to see someone taking care of these old muscle-car warriors...
Your so right, Buick is and still is a tight feeling, handling Car..........There is something about the Engineering of a Buick that separates all the other GM's like night and day.
Beautiful Car, thanks for showing
To this day I regret trading my GS STAGE 1 4spd. in '78. My dad got it for me in '74. All I did was install Camaro radials on it & fed it SUNOCO 260 despite my dad advising against it, my mufflers were gone by l8 75. I wanted a Trans am, but, dad knew I'd be dead in no time. I had power steering,& brakes,front disc I did not understand why a 4spd had no console & bench seat. A/C ,room for 6ppl, brown with black vinyl top & interior. Gr8 car to travel. I couldn't find much aftermarket performance parts. But, I loved it. AWESOME MASTERPIECE.
Kevin you're right people seem to forget that Buick also had muscle cars
Hottest of Hot. Ultimate Sleeper. Im 63 now right out of high school. I had two 2 a silver and gold. 1970 Best year. GS 455 ref and a stage one won most races. They were tight. Miss them Big time. Lucky to be alive to write this review. Toughest race was with 73 pontiac T/A. Ho 455. I top out at 152 brothers.. Posi was unlimited. The ladies would always ask for rides Home.... Wow.....
The car also came in apollo white the gsx was a beautiful yellow thank you for sneaking this car in
I think the 455 Buick engine was very underrated . Several years back I had a customer that raced the 455 and it was one of the fastest cars out there . But , he wouldn't spend the money for a set of good rods and they continually broke between the rod nut and the center of the cap . Never seen one come apart anywhere else . They were definitely torque monsters . The GSX is a very unusual car , I saw a picture once at the Buick Nationals of 10 or 12 of the yellow ones lined up side by side , thing of beauty .
Have lusted for one for years. I’m 55. Good on y’all that have one!
..same ..but i live in New Zealand and there is none
Beautiful car. Thanks for all the great information on it. I wish you could give that much detailed information on the majority of the other cars. Production numbers are always great to hear. Which of course will cause in some instances controversy. The more information the better. In 1991, I received a call from a friend that Charlie Sheen wants to look at my 1970 Superbee 440, 6 pack, and possibly make an offer. So, I told him to call them back and come on over. Someone had seen the car, parked at my friends paint shops display window. I lent it to him for a few weeks prior to being moved back to my garage. A couple hours later, Charlie pulled up to my driveway in 70 Buick GSX. He had people from Barrett-Jackson with him and his posse. I had just recently bought the car. So I was not exactly motivated to sell it. When it comes to cars. They are like my children to a point. There is always a number that will separate me from one of my cars. And if he was willing to meet that number. I was more than willing to sell it. So, after having his representatives look over the car and asked some questions and check documentation. I got to speak with Charlie. He was very down-to-earth. It was just two car guys talking. So that's my big brush with fame.
These cars were a master piece from Buick. Big and really fast. Watched a new one race at the drag strip all night at 75&80 Drag Way. That car ruled the track.
"That car ruled the track."...against other stock cars. I grew up in that era and it was fast for a factory car out on the blvd but the cars at the tracks were usually modified.
Just had to go back and watch this again.
If I had the bucks to burn...its gonna be either this one or a 68' Coronet R/T with a 440; really love the lines of that gen Coronet.
Thanks for sharing Kevin.
Loved this car. My favorite for 1970. In 1969, the Chevelle SS and GTO were to me the best lookers. Then this GSX came out with its unique style. 🏆🏁
Screams and smokes what more could you ask for.👍
When i was in high school i had one in opollo white with the scoops and it had the exhaust through the rear buimper It was a 1972 Buick GS Stage 1. And yeah it could pass anything on the road except gas gas station lol. I had my drivers liscence for bout 6 months and lost it racing over 100mph in this can in a 55mph zone
@ johnjohn how did u lose the car? did the police get it?
buicks version of the ultimate muscle car. gorgeous. 455 plus all the luxury creature comforts. I had a 68 455.... Was a beast. And yes that would be way way up there in my pick of the brothers best too. Mine wasnt original motor. Was swapped .
455cid on BUICKs didn't arrive til 1970.
That’s correct.
What’s nice about this guy is he actually knows what he’s talking about
You're very kind! Thanks!
Are these a private collection or are they selling these cars ?
@@raymondwilson9662 These are all part of a private collection.
That’s awesome it reminds me the Otis Chandler collection that was in California I have the book on his collection have you ever seen that book ?
@@raymondwilson9662 Yes, that is pretty incredible!
I had the opportunity to purchase a 1970 Buick GSX coming out of high school in 1970. I bought the car off the show room floor at Bill Hembrough Buick in Rockford Ill for $4600. It was a saturn yellow non stage one with the turbo auto trans. It was a radio delete car but had the dealer install a am radio. As a young kid I drove the car to death and it never let me down.It held its own to most street racing. Sold the car about 1975. And like everyone I sold it for what a hood would cost now. $1200.
5000 rpm redline was pretty low for those days, surprised. Edit: 8:19 tells why: thin wall casting necessitated 2-bolt mains, so lower redline was a good idea.
Great review thank you. I saw one new when I was a kid and still remember the boys on the corner reactions to it.
Thanks for the kind words and for sharing the memory!
I've been more of a mustang gt350 and HEMI cuda person but this stage one is just spectacular. The name just sounds like a car that just is ready to lay down some rubber
I'm a Pontiac guy, but I will say I have always thought the GSX was one of the coolest cars ever...I guess I just stayed away from them cause there is now way I could ever afford one.
probably one of the quickest factory muscle car ever made. stage 1 cars were called hemi killers when I was growing up.
..did you ever see them in real life ..i live in New Zealand and there is none !!
This is my 'dream car' that I WILL HAVE SOMEDAY if I ever became a millionaire. I live in VA and someone near my town has a GSX 'clone' that is a very well-done Skylark or GS made to look like the GSX. Not sure if it is a Stage I car, though.
Make mine Saturn Yellow with the Stage I and four-speed manual transmission, please.
1VaDude I have an original all numbers matching I’m in Illinois
@@nikkogomez3706 ..do you still have it ?
This car can't be denied!!! The only other muscle car that would be my dream car would be a 69 mustang boss 429 but i would take both.
The 500 Ft.Lbs.of TORQUE Is What Made These BEASTS @ The Strip Kings,I Always Heard & 450 H.P Helped A Little Too.LOL
Love that Buick I grew up around muscle cars
I want one. Saturn Yellow.
I want a 1972 GS 455 4speedin Burnt orange or in Blue. The motor can easily be built to 1970 and above specs. I would put a GSX stripr kit on it (they never offered the GSX package in convertibles, but it looks good.) They are "slightly" more affordable, too.
My dream car
I LOVE IT!!!!! ONE OF MY FAVORITES!!!!! THANKS FOR SHARING!!!!
You are so welcome!
friend has one ,another friend got a 71 stage 1 in high school with 40.000 miles 4 speed,little red ball reverse lock out ,pipes came out back bumper , they were so much fun
Great video and narration. I've wanted one forever. When and if I become a lottery winner, this is the first thing I'm hunting down. Price not a issue. Thanks for the post, beautiful car!! 👍👍
The spoilers were functional on the car. The cars were tested extensively for best rear spoiler design. Both give best down force at speed. Only the Corvette handled better. The front spoiler also has a horizontal baffle that reduces engine compartment pressure at speed. The car returned better gas mileage and top end than regular GS's.
My buddy had a 455 stage 2 skylark. It was fast !!!
Excellent video, Mr. Oeste! Great information on such a fabulous car- this was definitely NOT an "old
man's " sedan, for sure.
Thank you! We agree!
And after the 1st time. I seen a stage 1 gsx . I never looked at a Gto or Chevelle ever again. Good old Flint engineering at it's finest. Buick didn't do it once but twice in the gsx and the gnx and turbo regals. After all these years they are still causing a stir in the Automotive world. Go buick!!!!!
MY FAVORITE MUSCLE CAR OF THE SEVENTIES. POPE IVA. 🕊🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕊
I got to see one of these in a garage that an old man owned . It was a white stage 1, completely original. He even had the original window sticker. Not long after that a collector came in from out of state and bought it for a large amount of money I heard.
That "360 hp" rating for the Stage-1 was bogus, just like many of the HP ratings by the auto-makers back in the day. Most folks who knew these engines well, have stated that the Stage-1 made in 1970 ( all later years lost power due to the government regulations ), made AT LEAST 420hp. If ya consider how heavy these cars were, and the fact the magazine testers got slightly faster or near equal times to the Hemi's and the LS6, which both made far more hp than Buick's factory claim of only "360 hp" for the Stage-1 made in 1970.......you would have to conclude that they truly DID make much more hp than advertised.
Thats good, because the gross hp rating was a big overrating as it was. Buick's rating was more realistic. That makes the 700 to 1000hp modern day monsters even more impressive :)
@@twoeightythreez Yeah. Engine and car technology has continued to advance throughout the time of the car. You can't compare the early muscle cars to today's version...... Now it looks like the quickest cars going forward from now on are going to be battery powered. Even now the Tesla is one of the quickest cars made and it's not really even built for that reason. Crazy stuff is happening in the car world.
They (car manufacturers) were being nice by lowering the spec HP numbers so you could actually afford insurance. Dad and the rest of the family told me that many times, and half my family worked for GM/Fisher Body. Dad was a cop. :/
@@sparkytdg facts on point...
Interesting. And I agree. There's no way this car can do a mid 13 second quarter mile with just 360 hp. Lol.
2:17 ... those Polyglas GTs light up pretty easily!
This car is the ancestor of the GNX what a machine
I think this GM mid-sized platform made for the perfect daily driver, whether it was a Buick GS or a GTO or a 442 or a Chevelle SS. For me, this was the perfect size and shape. The 1970 Chevelle LS6 got all the attention, but this Buick might have been the best of the lot.
GSX Stage 1 aka "Hemi Killer"
swasey1952
That’s not true. Kenne-Bell who specialized in Buick racing parts exclusively back then found that the best shift point for the Stage 1 engine was 5500 rpm. It could do 13.90’s straight off the showroom with no tuning at all. Most muscle car racing back then was done on the street stop light to stop light and the Stage 1 option was optimized for that. On the street with similar gears it would destroy Hemi’s and LS6’s because they had to be rev’d up to get in the power band. Stage 1 was strong just off idle. On the track the cars were pretty even in stock form but the GS usually had the edge because it stayed in tune longer with the milder hydraulic cam.
www.teambuick.com/reference/library/455_ken_bell.php
swasey1952 Everybody knows the LS6 was a pig off the showroom floor. You might run mid 14's with it stock. You had to dyno tune it and run open headers to get it to run decent. That big cam was choked up with the stock manifolds and mufflers. Stage 1 was one of the very few cars that could run in the 13's pure stock. Easy target for a Stage 1 both of them in stock condition.
swasey1952 The AHRA ASA Class record-holding Chevelle LS6 for the 1970 season posted a best of season trap speed of 106.76 mph, so your 121mph is either complete BS or relies on a hell of a lot of performance bolt-ons you have chosen not to mention.
Fuckin liar, lololol
You are correct. I used to have a Buick GSX stage1. It was the Saturn yellow color. And back in the day I raced a few Hemi cars and beat them everytime. Even Hot Rod magazine (I forget the year and month) put out an article of how the Buick GSX stage1 was a hemi killer. I still regret ever selling the car. Because it was a Buick, everyone thught of it as being just a mild mannered muscle car. But in reality when you stomped on the throttle it became a real beast.
One ove my mostfavoriate auto!!!
wish I could say it was mine, but no. my best bud in hi school had a bone stock 1965 GS factory 4 speed that he always had me drive if we were racing, cause I was real good at handling that Borg warner t10. my favorite memory was racing a 65 falcon that had a race built 289 and staying side by side until i grabbed third and at that point all he saw was our taillights. thanks for the memories.
I had one for my first car in 1968. 1965 Gran Sport, 4 speed, red. Great car!!
One of my favorite cars
I love muscle car of the week. However, I do miss your build videos. Are you going to be posting anymore of those?
We have lots of build videos coming! Thanks!
BUICK RULES!
A TRUE WORK OF ART, A MASTERPIECE. MY FAVORITE CAR EVER MADE. ALSO MY FAVORITE MAG WHEEL.
Love the Buick GSX my uncle still has his it has a little under 50.000 miles on it his was the same saturn yellow
Nice!
my dad had a skylark with a 455 crate motor in it, fell in love with it now I have one hanging from my rear view mirror LOL...
He sold it for only 1000 in 2013, it was a California car so no rust.. no paint but it was worth at least 5 times what he sold it for. Had to sell it because my moms BF was a d*ck and told her to tell him to get rid of it fast.
Needless to say, that guy isnt my moms BF anymore lol
These GSX's go for 100 plus grand now! BIG money.
My dream car 😮
*Review the Buick GNX 1987 please, thank you!*
..like everyone else i want one ..and a amc 1970 rebel machine ..and a 1964 ford thunderbolt ..i had the plastic model kit as a kid ..the white one !!
My Buick has the torque numbers on the aircleaner they should have done that here 510 'holy crap' !
My first car was a 71 Skylark plumb colored w black vinyl roof and bucket/console interior. I stumbled on it as it was my friends moms car which he had been driving and beating the crap out of... I think I paid 400.00 and it had the 455 with turbo 400. I have never seen another non GS with a 455 and a console. Of course I was a stupid kid and traded it for a 72 Grand Prix (Lots of fun) but in hindsight... Darn It!
As much as I admire your passion for these cars, you simply missed the truth about the 60's Skylark GS. And, yes, they had bright colors and pinstripes, too. I still want this one, however.
The '66 GS 340 had big stripes, but not much else, not like the SS stripes on a Camaro or LeMans stripes on a Shelby. GSs had colors and pinstripes... but not billboards or mod-tops. They were understated until the 1970 GSX, are we wrong?
V8TV The 1966 Skylark GS could come in "RR" paint code and was "Flame Red" ---quite a flashy look. They also had pinstripes. Also, I recall a very loud red in 69 called "Ralleye Red." Also, the fastest car in my town for some time in the 90s was a 69 Skylark Gran Sport. The 455 was too much for most. 70 certainly saw big changes, but earlier cars really performed, too.
Dare I say this GS is faster then a new Challenger 392?
Buick GSX Stage1was known as the Hemi killer and i'm talking about the 426 Hemi. I had a 1970 Buick GSX stage1 and I raced a few Hemi cars and I blew there doors off! Hot Rod magazine did an article on the Buick GSX stage1 and stated themselves that the stage1 455 was a Hemi killer. And in the 1972 NHRA season, a Buick stage1 was undefeated.
No contest is your answer. The Buick would blow it backwards.
was the HP @ 360 underrated for insurance purposes? At over 500 ft/lbs of torque I'm thinking that was the case?
I just think Buick was printing the actual number in street tune as installed in the car. The lower 1972 numbers were from actual performance reductions.
Buicks were strokers and put out a lot of torque. The 350 was 100 lbs lighter than a Chevy.
I owned a 70 model GSX and a 72 GS and out of all my Texas Buick Buddies and all the racing we've done the last 30 to 40 years
We haven't had one cracked
Block so I would like to dispel that myth. And yes these were hard running and hard charging rides. I'm still in to Buicks today but one is a 1938 Split Window Coupe
Straight 8 the other is an 87
T-Type V6 Turbo Lmtd.and yes it is quick running 12s
A great
I read for the gto judges that were made on the east coast there was a heater hose going to the hood tach,wondering if buick did the same thing,if were built on east coast
can you do a video of the 1969 Dodge Charger 500?
GREAT vid...can you guys give the 0-60 times on your cars and 1/4 mile? thx
Given what we know now, a time machine would be very profitable. She's making my right foot drool, and my wallet cry.😛😛👊👊✌️✌️
What price have this Buick GSX 455 , this days ?
Bout 40 grand or more if u find one
I gotta look up 1970 Goodyear polyglass tires and what they were made of and what they produced if they were radI also or not
360 HP my ass! Nothing beats a Buick!
Matt Rosenboom what about a 1969 Oldsmobile 442 hurst performance or a 1969 gto judge 455 or a 1970 chevelle Baldwin motion
Matt Rosenboom would a 1971 mustang boss 351 beat it or a 1970 Shelby gt500
@@AlejandroP1980s depends on too many variables. It's just a Buick slogan, not my life motto. Lol
Matt Rosenboom so can a 1970 Shelby gt500 beat 1970 Buick gsx stage 1
@@AlejandroP1980s depends on the driver, temperature, humidity, which one has the stickiest tires, ect....
Torque monster.
👍 Sweet!
ThinWall 455
Working towards precision castings. Once perfected allowed for aluminum heads and then blocks. When Buick tried Aluminum for the 215 V8 they had to scrap a large majority for casting imperfections. Later Buick 455's (`75 & `76) had considerably less core shift than earlier blocks.
Never seen anybody make a full size Buick interior look small..haaa😂
Yeah!!! Who are these "Brothers" and where can I see their whole collection???
The Brothers Collection is a private collection of cars, and there is currently no public display save for certain cars that attend events like the Muscle Car & Corvette Nationals in Chicago. But that is why we started this show, to share these cars with enthusiasts around the world. You can learn more at our Muscle Car Of The Week dot com website in the "about" tab.
Is the Stage II a real thing? Heard about it but never seen one.
They were heads Buick designed for racers, not an installed option on cars. Not very many built, but they had a very good redesign of the exhaust ports. TA Performance has an aluminum version.
My buck list car.....
and to add to it the 455 was lighter
Does The Brothers Collection have any Boattail Rivieras?
Doubt it
Yes it is
GSeX !!!
Awesome
question....how come in 1970 the only muscle car that had dual quads was the 426 hemi ...besides corvette did it,i might be missing few cars
+ericou812
The Corvette didn't have dual-quads since 1962.
than the 460 ford or the bb chevy
I get one of these fully loaded power windows. Leather all the accessories and you would still brutalize everything on the road.
Liked and subbed.One like that in Calgary Canada. Not sure if it's real or a clone
If it was ordered from Canada it came with a 12 bolt
The X is Saturn. This the reason it has Saturn yellow....Hello?
would you like to sell this car
very scrappy in 1970 most horse power ls6 chevelle 450 hp hemi rated 425
It was obviously underrated...being the 0 to 60 and quarter mile times were just about identical (with the buick actually being slightly quicker) between a GSX Stage 1 and the LS6 SS454 Chevelle. Actually, looking back at the ACTUAL outputs of these cars, the Buick was simply more REALISTICALLY rated.
The buick was likely a tad bit lighter due to the lighter engine and 10 bolt...but that still means the 455 had nearly identical output to a 454.
Its irrelevant, as a modern equivalent (such as a hellcat) would eat both of these alive.
The Buick is still my dream car...and will always be my dream car. They were out of my reach 20 years ago..nowadays even the dream is too expensive...lol
In '70 they put bigger engine cause regulations changed. Too bad it didn't happen w the 69
Question!? Is this GSX 4 SALE
No sir, but thanks for asking!
Did anyone ever Dyno one of those?
Just think if the 70 Camaro had a LS 6 it would have been a game changer
This video is 85 to 90% correct. The Stage1 option consists of 1) low-restriction dual exhausts, high-rpm-optional valve train; 2) special hydraulic lifter cam; 3) revised - higher pressure oil pump assembly; 4) 3.64:1 ratio limited slip axle assembly; 5) chrome valve covers; 6) re-calibrated ignition distributor 10 degrees initial vs 6 degrees, non-stage1; 7) larger fuel pump for increased fuel pressure & flow rate; 8) special transmissions 4-speed - M22, automatic - Turbo-400 - code BB; 9) cylinder heads part number same as non- Stage1, however intake/exhaust valves are larger along with unshrouded valves in cylinder head - plus - larger valve springs for increased high rpm operation; 10) Major option - Rallye Ride Handling Package- consisting of front/rear sway bars / stiffer coil springs / HD front/rear shock absorbers/ boxed lower control arms; 11) HD engine cooling; 12) Major option - Power Steering/Power Disc Brakes/Air Conditioning. Note 1 - Hot Rod -November 1969 - Article - Mr Muscle for 1970 - First run of the 1970 GS Stage1 with A/C came with 3.64:1 rear final drive. Later production units with A/C were 3.42:1 final drive. Note 2 - Motor Trend - January 1970 - Article - Without A Taste of Geritol - Buick GS Stage1 does the quarter mile in 13.38 @ 105.50 mph. This article shows all of the Special Parts that went into the Stage1 Option. Also, this article is not a GSX, as the GSX option was not available during this date. Note 3 - Cylinder Block - most cylinder block failures were due to over - revving & low oil pressure / rpm past safe rpm limits. Finally, most machine shops did not know the Buick internals - rod and crank specs- how to prepare a monster 455 Buick engine to live at high rpm
This youtube is censoring my true statements by marking through my sentences. I know all of the options available for this vehicle both GS Stage1 along with the GSX which by the way was not available until April, 1970. Also, there wasn't a different part number for the Stage1 cylinder heads vs non stage1. The valves were larger & unshrouded 2.175 intake, 1.75 exhaust, whereas 2.160 intake, 1.60 exhaust for the non-Stage1 Also, there were a few A/C cars that came from Flint, Michigan with the special 3:91 gear set which was available in the Riviera GS came with A/C and a 3:91 rear gear set. I have personally owned my 1970 GS Stage1 since December 16, 1969 the first run of the 1970 model year series. I know this car inside and out, left and right. Buick history states that the 1970 GSX was available to the public beginning April 1970 as I have the original brochure of this option which was available in Apollo white or Saturn yellow.
Wow, great info, thanks!
Basically a Gto
No, it's not a GTO or anything close
Buick had it's own engine, stronger, lighter and, back in '70, from the the factory
WAY FASTER than a Judge.
I had a 350 GS in the 80's. I prefer the quick response, and higher rpm's of small blocks ! 455, and 400's were big dog's when it came to response !
Wrong, quick rev for big blocks
@@markbuchanan3694 to get the same response out of a big block, you still have weight, the cost, and taking cubic inches away for shorter stroke. Then you end up with this monster heavy motor that’s not worth dick outside of straight lines. Big blocks, or long blocks do not make for good twisty rides. Stick to the track or interstate.
@@67cuda38 the 455 is a big bore short stroke engine. There was an article in cars magazine that featured a 70 GSX, and they slolem(?) Tested it, said it outhandled everything they tested, they said Buick got the car right
The article is called of all things ,are you ready for this, yellow screaming banana!
I would like to know who came up with that
It appears that I can't list the articles/title/dates of publishing for self reading here on youtube. The misinformation just keeps on growing. You see, I know what I'm talking about here as I am the original owner of my 1970 GS 455 Stage1 since 12/16/69. First production run of the 1970 GS 455 Stage1 model year. That makes it a little over 44 years of ownership for me.
I looked this up because I had the hot wheels version as a kid
I bought one new I 1970 and still have it 58000 miles
We'd love to see it! Is that the car in your profile photo?
