    On "My Car Story" we're in the Western Suburbs of Chicago IL on 5-25-24.

    The car comes with the 455 CI V8 engine and an automatic transmission.
    The car's Owner is Dennis Doerge. Dennis’ had this car since 2014. Dennis shares he’s had this car for a while and decided it’s time to restore and get it back on the road. Only 678 GSX’s were produced from the factory. This car looks showroom new.

    I remember when these were new but you really didn't see a lot of them. The 70 Chevelles and GTOs you would see all day long. Truly a bad ass car though.

      That's because they cost another 1/3 of the price more than those other cars.

    Lou; This Buick GSX is a definite home run. I remember when these were brand new. When Buick was Buick. GM WAS the mark of excellence back then. You were proud to own one of these fine cars. The good old days, I will miss them forever. I was still young then but they were gr8 times.

    Hey big bro! Hey LOOOOUUUUU! Welp, in viewing this slice of awesomeness I am inspired to wear either yellow stripes OR black stripes on top of my ever present white tube socks (working class baseball stockings) and as I think on that choice-POW! SOCK! I get knocked out😵, fall forward as you bend down, shoulder at my navel and I flop over your right shoulder easily. My floppy sneakers dropping into your left hand, my stocking feet giving one last twitch before going completely limp. The proper way to carry a KO'd, lightweight, chick craaazy, JV baseball guy like me 🤣😜. Oh man! This is a PERFECT All-American video to watch before July 4th Independence Day, Lou. And Dennis is 100% like our Dad right there, bro. His restoration of this GSX? Perfection. WOW. The color is EPIC and the roof line of these Skylark based coupes is so cool, man. With a swoop, and yet angular-more masculine, a bit more formal than some of it's contemporaries. I learn so much about cars and American car culture just watching your videos, Lou. And since you are my big brother, always with a lot of heart and humor, and a shoulder for me to land on, too🤪😇! God bless you and God bless America! JV Johnny ⚾⚾

    The old Buick saying was "Fast with Class". It should really be "VERY Fast with Class". My first ride ever in a muscle car was in a '71 GS Stage1 so these Buicks hold a special place in my heart. Could someone please remind me why I didn't buy one 40 years ago when I had chance? Love the car, love the video Lou!

    I owned a '72 Skylark in high school in th '80s. It was a bit of a junker, but still a lot of fun. Let a friend write on the bumper with a black magic marker, PASSING SIDE above the left tail light, and SUICIDE above the right. Good times. Dreamed of owning one just like the one in this video after reading about it in a muscle car mag where it beat all other muscle cars of similar size in a shootout, and back in the day. The GNX of the '80s being a nod to the GSX. Thanks Dennis and Lou!

    Hi Lou, In the mid-seventies, I was working in an Exxon gas station in The Bronx, N.Y. One of my mechanic co-workers had a '70 White/Black GSX. He also had bought new, a 1967 Buick GS Stage 1. It was white with a black interior. I think they made less than 100 of them. Great memories!!

I love how GM managed to take their intermediate sized coupes and make each different and each evolved into a performance model that were different and wonderful. It would be such a treat to have each of these performance coupes from this vintage in a collection covering all GM brands. Lou, you really treated us today! Thanks for all your efforts!

    I actually have one in saturn yellow. my grandfather passed me it down and it is the car I learned to drive a manual in and it’s still the only manual car i’ve ever drove. being 19 and owning this car feels honestly weird because I’m probably the youngest person to have one, but still it’s awesome. I drive it pretty frequently because why the hell would I let it rot in the garage. When my grandpa passes, this car will just mean even more to me and no matter the price I could never let it go. Only way this car goes is it will be passed to one of my future kids.

    I would have to walk home from High School daily in the early 1980's. One similar to this sat along a garage, minus the engine though it still had the factory 4-speed.
    One day it was gone. Sure hope it was restored as it looked to be solid and except for the missing engine mostly complete.

    Beautiful! I love the yellow with the black, one of my best race cars was yellow.
    If I recall, according to the Motor's manual, 1970 was the peak for torque and horsepower on the Buick 455. I took a high compression 4bbl 455 from a 1970 LeSabre (?) 4dr and plopped it into a dirt track car. That engine is so heavy, it flattened the oil pan sitting on the floor overnight, had to use a dent puller on it. With the 455, my car was unbeatable and it never broke a sweat.
    The first lap was amazing. Entering turn 3, everything suddenly got quiet, I could barely hear the 455 running, but everyone else was just coming off turn 2 as I started out of turn 4. In the video you can see me turn around in the seat looking for the rest of the field. 😂 I bought the donor car for $100.
    They used to say, small blocks suck, big blocks truck!😊

    My absolute favorite muscle car. The closest I could get was my old '71 GS455. That car was a blast. Side note: The prototype (show car actually) 1970 GSX is owned by a family in Ohio, and it is a wild sight to see. Look that car up sometime. The owner was Brad Conley, who sadly passed away last year. But his GSX is the #1 most rare and valuable GSX in existence.

      The “Hemi killer” came from an 80’s muscle car magazine shootout drag race. The GS Stage 1 against a Hemi GTX. The GS won. However… the guy, Roy Badie who did the bragging about his recently acquired ‘70 Hemi GTX 4 speed had no drag racing experience, and wasn’t good with the manual transmission. The GS guy, Richard Lasseter was an experienced drag racer and president of the GS club of America. He had a blueprinted engine with worked cylinder heads. He was basically a hot shoe. All you have to do is look at drag racing history, and you’ll see which engine was the killer. 😁

    I have GSX #222 (Stage 1, 4-speed). Also Saturn Yellow. Absolutely spectacular car. The GSX is the rarest of the 1970 GM Halo Muscle Cars. Compared to the 70 LS6 Chevelle, the GSX was much rarer (678 GSX vs 4,475 LS6’s). There were 3,100 442 W-30 made, while 3,797 GTO Judges were produced. Out of the aforementioned 678 GSX, 400 were Stage 1’s. Out of the 400 Stage 1’s, only 118 were 4-speed manuals.

    If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times: You get the best cars!!!
    3.42:1 is probably about just right for that car, for regular street driving with good acceleration, Optimum would be a two-speed rear axle with something like a 2.26:1, (or whatever GM's numerically lowest was) and a 3.73:1 or higher, for really getting out of there in a hurry. I'll bet that the lowest possible gear in that car, in tandem with a very conservative right foot, would probably net close to 20 MPG or perhaps higher, at 55-65 MPH.
