I did a 'standard' tuneup on one of these monsters back in late '70. Went to road test it and the damn thing kept going sideways when I'd punch it. Almost ended up in somebody's front yard. Took it back to the shop and had to take a smoke break to settle down. 😂. I'll never forget that beast.
Yes, they could run right beside a LS6 without having to adjust lifter. The GS was a turn key go fast car without all the headaches. But just for the street. The LS6 was better at the track but not by a lot.
The rear of Buicks are so beautiful to me. Sold my 72 a few years ago and stumbled across the pictures in my wife phone yesterday. Couldn’t believe my eyes, very underrated cars.
When I was a kid, I remember running at the local dragstrip against a guy with a Stage 1 GS455. I pissed me off to listen to him turn off his A/C in the burnout box while I was sweating my butt off. Then he pulled me by about a car length and a half. I had a 340/4 speed Challenger with a built motor and 4.56's.
As far a street car is concerned these were the fastest on the streets. And tame enough for going back to forth work and picking up the kids. The LS6 was the car you bought for the strip. The Buick was for the guy who wasn’t interested in working on it all the time. But when the light turn green at the signal light, good luck on catching it..
I bought a beautiful fire engine red 70 GS 455 in the early 80's and drove it in the summer up north and Florida in the winter. Owned it for 13 years and sold it when it began to show its age. Sold it to a new owner who was going to make the car right. Edit: I still have the IL plates GS455
Reminds me of a '66 Skylark GS convertible 4spd a buddy of mine bought a few months before he went into the Marines. GS's back then were scary fast with gobs of torque and loads of fun to drive. Still remember cruising around the Detroit area in that gorgeous red Buick listening to tunes blaring on the radio. Great car, friends and time to be alive. RIP Johnny.
Mine was a 70 model GS 455. It had 342 Or 364 positive traction rear. Would hit second gear and turn sideways in the middle of the road. Passing a car at 45 mph would light them up when floored. It would run low 13s high 12s depending on traction. Mine was loaded power windows vanity mirrors rear window defrost factory 8 track tape player. Miss that car more than any of the others I’ve ever owned.
Cool. I had one of those in the early 80s, same color as this one. Nice car. Sold it for $650 - at the time it was just an old used car that burned a lot of gas - nobody cared. Same with most muscle cars at the time.
Thank you for bringing back good memories! I was 12 yrs. old in 1970 and already a car guy. In fact I had my first car by then a 1955 Chevy Bel Air sedan, 6 cylinder and 3 on the tree that I drove on old coal mining roads in the mountains of Central Pennsylvania. My neighbor, after high school graduation bought a 1970 Buick GS exact same color as this machine with the vinyl roof in late 1969. I was impressed it came from the factory with G60's all the way round. Not to be outdone, another neighbor also a recent graduate purchased a new 1969 Chevelle SS 396, 4 speed. Great stuff for a young pre- Gear Head. Thanks again. Grandfather John Pennsylvania

Dec. 1984 , MCR magazine sponsored Round 1 of their Musclecar Shootout challenge. 1970 GS Stage 1 vs. 1970 Hemi GTX. The GTX had no options, the Stage 1 had full power options. The GTX Hemi was trailered there with 4.10 gears, the GS Stage 1 was driven to the strip from 130 miles away with its 3.42 gears as it was a 100% bonafide street car. The GS easily outran the GTX, even with a small 700 Holley that the magazine requested the GS owner Richard Lasseter to use.

Had a 1970 Vuick LeSabre land yaht 455-4 Quadra-Jet 375 HP tire fryer. When you were going down the highway and floored the gas pedal you could actually see the gas gauge move from F to empty . Watch it some time .
I had the 1972 in a green convertible with white top. Probably my favorite car of all time, certainly my favorite in the seventies when I was in college.
Great car. Beautiful survivor. The only knock on the 455 was that it was a 2 bolt main. The advantage was that the motor weighed 60 pounds less than most big blocks. Which was a big advantage when drag racing. But when the motor blew, you could literally junk it.
They had to have some Kenne-Bell help on the bottom end, but man they did run. Amazing, the last muscle car era engine design released until the modern engine came out.
Love the GS 455 ! I regret not buying a 73 455 automatic, believe it was a stage 1 or was there a stage 2 ? Same color as this one ,but with a bench seat. ! I think it was probably a rare one ! Love the video & the Nickey shirt.! Brings back memories. Thank you. !

I had one the same color in high school except it had a white vinyl top and a 350 4bbl. Not a quick car by any stretch of the imagination! I think it was the gearing more than anything. It was in 1st gear until 50mph.
A guy had one in our area in the early 80's....he told me he did get beat a few times, but won at least 100 races. He was beat by a 1968 Firebird ram air 2 engine auto trans...a 396 Nova...not sure the year, and a Dart. He said the Dart was modified big time. The Firebird and Nova were mostly stock, both had wide tires and low gears.. He said the Firebird beat him by 3 or 4 car lengths.
⭕️you’d be surprised 👇🏼at what the GS 350 is capable of!!💥 Could still smoke a small block Chevy Stock vs stock or with same modifications! Even the lighter Camaros etc…
Only road test I could find for a GS350 saw it run 16.43/86 mph. Any 327/295 Nova SS would shred that. Love me some GS350 and they were sporty cars, but they were not too muscular stock.
