When I was a regular at CT State Dragway in the 70's the fastest cars in Stock were Buick Stage 1. I have no brand preference. Love em all.

I love the lines of the 70 to 72 Skylarks,GSs,GSXs and Stage 1s..

Oh yeah, the epitome of the "sleeper" muscle car!!! No one expects a humble old Buick to blow them away at a traffic light, yeah this one would, and dispense a tissue for the looser, so great. Awesome car, awesome color!!! Really special Buick!!!

This Buick is fantastic! It's appropriate you featured the tail end first, because that's the view most other cars will see if Juan stomps the gas pedal! Thanks, Lou!

lou, to me, i believe this is when the majority of buick cars were built at their peak, never to be the same again. (my one man's opinion), i'm glad to see so many of these classics were saved, some of the best looking cars ever, to me! thanx!

All classic cars are a work of art..some are treated as such ..not put up on a wall ..but put up in a garage and trailered around ..I myself prefer to drive them and enjoy them ..but very smooth buick..

Absolutely gorgeous Buick. These are my favorite cars of all. ( my very first car in 1980 age 16 was a 1970 Skylark coupe ) Thanks.

What a beautiful Buick GS! That color looks awesome on that particular car. These cars are very rare, especially in as good of shape as this Buick. Definitely Sweet!

What a great rare car, also what a proud, warm owner. Good job Lou!👍

OH man, love that color and what a car! I did not know that Buick made this model...what a find! Thanks for sharing!

Had a close friend in high school who had one of these His was white. Had that 455 4 barrel. Car could burn rubber until the tires blew out.

Wow! Beautiful rare Buick Stage I. Loved the color combo. "When better cars are built, Buick will build them" Old Buick slogan. Congratulations to the owner. Thnx to Lou.

Very nice! GM really had it going with their intermediates in this era and the competition between divisions resulted in a wide variety awesome performance cars with Buick offering the 455 stage 1. Thanks for video, Lou, great way to start a Saturday morning.

The Stage 1 Buick has always been a sought after car for me.. a friend of mine has a GSX with the Stage 1 and a 4 speed and I have wanted one after the first time seeing it. Amazing cars !

You're absolutely correct! that Aqua Mist is very striking. What a beautiful time capsule. Legend has it that Buick installed the "tissue dispenser" to dry the tears of the Buick owner after the HEMI cars beat them on the street. LOL GREAT VIDEO LOU.

What a beautiful GREAT Buick!!!!!! Nothing like them!!!! Buick never gets the credit they deserve. Love them Buicks!!!!

Yeah Brother, another BEAUTIFUL car. Buick, like Pontiac, was such a solidly built car back in the day with the perfect blend of style AND performance. The only sad part is knowing that the dismal days of these cars were right around the corner. We still have these today and let's enjoy!

In 1974, my dad, a Buick loyalist had a new 73 Riviera GS Stage 1. I wanted a new TRANS-AM SD, stick. I messed up on a promise & I had get a car for my school was quite far. His salesman found the perfect car that nobody wanted after the '73 oil embargo. A GS STAGE 1, 4spd. Brown w/black vinyl top & interior. I couldn't believe it had a bench seat & 4spd. It took me a while to like it, but, after hearing sum car techs,& racers tell me the AWESOME car it was, I began to not be embarrassed. 6ppl in the car, & it still kicked a$$. A/C comfort, big trunk, drive ins, beaches, long distance traveler, I finally was impressed. Wish I still had it today. When better cars are built, BUICK WILL BUILD EM!!!!

Another great video Lou. Don't think that I have ever seen a Buick in that color before but I like it. My Uncle used to race in the 1960s and 1970s and he always told me that those 455 Buicks were hard to keep up with.

Hi, Lou! Given its premium high class image, Buick may not have seemed a likely candidate to build a muscle car that could beat the Hemis, but they set their sights high with the GS and this muscular Tri-Shield really does have it all! (It ought to for 5,100+ simoleons in 1970!) The 455 Stage 1, all those other accessories, and that highly polished, striking and magnetic Aqua Mist paint job! Just...WOW! BTW, seeing that 1962 Dodge Dart wagon in the background was a nice bonus! Thanks to you and Juan for another great episode!

Beautiful Buick! The owner has done a incredible job with all the details a pleasure seeing a Skylark GS this pristine.

That is a fantastic Buick! The paint (including colour) and chrome trim are spectacular. The Buick intermediates were often under appreciated in my view. What a cool car! Thanks for bringing this classic to us Lou.

I had a 1970 Buick GS, just a 350, but it was so much fun. I love this colour, never seen one.

Lou, this was one of the few times you called for a kickdown and it actually happened! (I guess the engines are usually too cold to kick down right away).

Absolutely love them Buick's!!!! Especially that 455 stage 1. I had an Electra with the 455 an with few modifications it would eat Cameros or Mustangs. Crazy great engineering in that 455. A nice bit of HP and neck jerking torque 💕💕💕

The 1970 shade of aqua is nice, not too bright and not too dark, and with a decent amount (but not too much) metallic. I like the color because it really brings out the surface detailing of the car, and the 70 GS has great surface detailing to bring out!

I ♥️ this car. Streamlined body with a beautiful combination of ornate lines and curves.

Wow beautiful restoration of a magnificent Stage 1. Thanks for sharing.

Mr. Grammar here: Thanks for all the great videos Lou. Please note, unique means unique; there are no degrees of uniqueness.

A great collection of muscle car videos from the greatest muscle car show.

This is one beautiful Buick. Unique color!! And a Stage 1 to boot!!!👏👏👏👏👏

Beautiful Buick!!

Love this color. Love this model. Had a boyfriend with the same car. Only not the fast one. He didn't wear earrings. It was the seventies. Slick.

In college in the 70's, I owned a '72 Gran Sport convertible, medium green with a white top and dark green interior. Great a/c that even here in TX kept me cool in summer and warm in winter, top was amazingly weatherproof, a little cowl shake, but beautifully made, quiet and very fast. Certainly not economical, but with gas at a quarter a gallon, who cared? GM hit a real home run with these '65 to '72 intermediates, only to fail with the bloated, overweight, overwrought '73+ creations.

Such a beautiful colour! I had one of these in the late 70’s, in a pale yellow (I don’t know what they called that colour in 1970) I’ve never seen one in this shade before! Love the black roof! I loved my GS and it was a rare departure for me as my heart was owned by Mopar at the time. But this Buick was the fastest of any of my old, used, muscle cars I had between 1974 and 2000! I was away for a bit and haven’t seen a vid from Lou in weeks, but I’m about to binge on what I’ve missed. Thanks, Lou!

I wonder if the men who built these wonderful cars, and watch the present time GM cars, don't cry? Thank You.

another beauty Lou.Thank you Juan.

What a dynamic color it's so unique.

I love these Buicks. My uncle had a 70 or 71 not the GS, but the 350 Skylark and I loved that car. My dad was driving a 75 Duster with the 225 slant six, so you know I was jealous. I loved the Duster too but in a different way. First car I ever steered with my dad on the pedals when I couldn't reach them. But I thought the Buick was such a cool car with my uncle doing burnouts.

That car is truly gorgeous 😍

Perfect example of a GS! Great color. Love it.

Yes: A special color and sounds • Cheers from the Detroit & Mackinac Railway 🚂

Yeah lou baby!!! You know what I like! Lol! Thank you indeed!!! Been waiting for this.

A '70 Buick GS is just a muscle car for getlemen and this one prettily shows it!

Stunning and along with Oldsmobile the only true classy Hot Rods or the gentleman's Hot Rod. Never had the privilege of owning a Buick GS but I did own a 1970 442 and with either you could go fast with class. I love this Buick.

This Buick is absolutely beautiful.....I would buy this car from the owner in a heartbeat, if he'd actually sell it....the aqua mist paint is awesome.

That beauty is stunning in that rare shade of aqua. You always seem to find vehicles on the rarest of rare colors 🤔

What a fantastic car! (that color!) It amazes me still to hear that lumpy cam that came from the factory. If you were next to it at a stop light and heard that idle, you knew it was nothing to be trifled with. Thanks

Hey Lou! I hope this finds you great, big bro. And maybe still at that awesome muscle car show :). Wow-just a cornucopia of American awesomeness with these cars, Lou! She is a beauty in that Aqua Mist with that black top and black interior. Badass combo. I know I say it often-but the character of these cars is just so apparent, and so awesome. Not just the epic engines and swooping and clean lines and chrome trim, but the shifter and even a tissue holder (!)-sweating the details and caring about the fact that this is someone's baby. That Camaro video I checked out yesterday left me stunned, in my stocking, chick crazy feet lol ;)-I hope you got my response to that one. Thanks Lou!! :) JV Johnny

That is sharp...the color definitely sets it off...I always like the older bodystils...I wish they go back making vichles like this....

Probably the best looking GM muscle car ever! And debatably the best or in the top 3 of GM engines ever produced as well. If you wonder why there are so few of these cars, just take a gander at the bottom line on that sticker, at over 5 grand this car was into Caddy country! My 1970 GT-37 with a 400 was around $3400 - but is a low option car. Another amazing piece - Pretty much a museum piece.

Crěme de la Crême of Buicks for sure...Love it!!! Thanks for sharing Lou.

I like the color , it's different. The 73 Century I had came with the same console.

Totally Amazing car!!! Keeper for generations 👍🏼🔥

Beautiful Buick! Love the color! Thanks for posting Lou! Have a blessed day!

The color is fantastic.

I really like this 1970 Buick GS Gran Sport Stage 1 455, and I really want to buy it.

That was an absolutely superb car… Again… Lou, You are on a roll.

Goodday Lou, The so called Hemi Slayer, 1970 Buick GS Stage 1. Just a quick story. Over a year ago my mechanic out of all cars had a Buick GSX Stage 1, Apollo White with a 4 speed on his hoist doing a roadworthy inspection. I was absolutely blown away literally a genuine 1970 Buick GSX numbers matching Stage 1 on the hoist here in Melbourne Australia, it would have to be the only 1 in Australia. Apparently the owner didn't want anyone to know about till I came along. Spread the news on the grapevine how super rare these cars are, photography it but my mechanic wouldn't take me as a passenger or give me the number of his customer. This Buick was stunning. But the colour on this 1 is amazing and the idle sounds definitely LS6 slayer not sure on the Hemi Killer. Your number 1 Fan in Australia Louis Kats from Melbourne Australia ☺ 👍 ❤

The one who repainted this one is a artist with a spray gun he said there never done how true looks as good as she sounds

You don’t seem many in that color. Gorgeous!!

great color for buick gs. buick was a great brand back then thanks.

Beautiful car Lou. Love all your Shows even the HO train Layouts....I'm into slot cars in the winter Months.

What a awesome car,a show winner 🏆 for real 👍 A dream machine,I love the colour. Looks better than new. ❤️❤️❤️ 🇺🇸 🇬🇧 🙏

OMIGOD my favorite car ever!!! Want it SOOO much!!

amazing!! Thanks Lou..

Beautiful 😍 What it would have looked like at the dealership! Thanks Lou!

now that beauty belongs on the cover of Sports Illustrated --- maybe then guys would start buying it again

Back in the late 70's we had one of these come in the shop with a rod knock. I rebuilt the engine to all stock factory specs. It ran really strong, I was really impressed

This car looks great! Do cars parked on the end have an advantage at car shows? That side view was really nice. Greatly appreciated Lou!

Love the sound!

Wow Lou you Nailed it👍🏻! I have to Say

I own a 69 GS400. I have the original 400 but have a '70 455 motor with heavily ported heads and it is a stout beast. Lou, you need to plan to hit the GS Nationals next year in Bowling Green Kentucky.

beautiful Buick. Nice color and concur on tail end. Keep plugging Lou

Great car !! I love the window sticker with the $9k plus price tag. A pretty good amount of money then. I met a guy in the mid '70s thru another friend because i played guitar. Hung out and played together for years. His first car was a blue '64 Skylark with a V6 that sadly got wrecked. Next car was a '72 Skylark with a 350, also blue and it got wrecked, too (he nearly died). Thing is, all thru this, his favorite car was A '70 GS Stage 1 455.. Great to see an example like this. It's beautiful ! He stayed with Buick, getting bigger cars like 225's ('72 and '68). Lifer.

Awesome car and rare color

Absolutely gorgeous!

Beautiful

Lou, that is one bad boy for sure. The color is striking. I'll write a check for full retail on this one LOL. Another great find and as usual and I love the "trunk and treats. I just don't understand how the owner doesn't drive it more?? Thanks, Lou.

stunning car!

Lou,thanks again for wishing me a happy belated birthday my friend.

Awesome 😀

Wow, that is a gorgeous car .

Man, what a car!

Beautiful car 👍

Hey Lou. Beautiful looking car! I've never seen one in this nice condition. 🙂

...Juan clearly cherishes his VERY rare Aqua Mist Skylark GS Stage...the big dog in Buick's luxury performance stable... ...these models always had a great combination of "grrrrowl and glitz".... ...most of my motorhead friends of the day were all consumed with Mustangs, Camaros, GTO's and Olds 4-4-2's and the Buick just lurked in the background like the cultivated jock who dated smart girls, while his brawling buddies jostled to attract the pretty blonde and buxom cheerleaders... ...and, hate to say it, but even that cultivated jock would NEVER opt for a tissue dispenser....ever... ...nice pick, as usual, Lou... ...Horsepower Holidays, buddy!!

Very sharp color too!!

Stunning example,One of the torqiest cars of the era.with the right driver & good tires could give any muscle car problems including some hemis.

Very nice color and very nice car too...

🤩 beautiful car sweet

My 72 Skylark never looked or sounded this good lol

In late 1985 I bought a 1986 Buick Regal Grand National and everybody laughed at me.

My Oldest Sister Kelly her Boyfriend had a Car like this one same thing It was really Beautiful His was a Darker Blue and it was same year. and that baby could move .

Nice car

There were so many nearly perfect GS's there at MCACN this year....this was a great choice for video, though! Juan has a spectacular car.

Actually, the 1970 Buick GS stage one was actually the fastest tested car in 1970.

Muscular sounding too!!

What can you say other than F'n AMAZING! Please don't let Obama/Biden take these gems away people.

That was the big fish that got away from me.
