On "My Car Story" we're in the Western Suburbs of Chicago IL on 5-25-24.
We're looking at a 1970 Buick GSX in Saturn Yellow Paint.
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.
ENJOY!

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.

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 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!

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!😊

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 ⚾⚾

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 1970 Chevelle LS6 killer and the Hemi Killer. And it could do it with A/C, power windows, fully loaded and with moderate 3.42 gears. This is a true gentleman's muscle car. Not for a brash racer boi.

@@loucostabile it's possible can you do a story on the 1979 Buick Skyhawk with a roadhawk package ? I had one. Quite rare . Not necessarily valuable. Looked fast. Definitely was not 🤣🤣 Engine was a 3.8 V6 2 barrel . Buick should have made the right decision to put either a turbocharged V6 in it. Or a Buick 350

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. 😁

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.

12:00 that Stage 1 engine is higher compression, the camshaft has a much more radical set of specs, but (per the literature) adds 0 torque and only 10 horsepower. Hmm...

It's the General Motors A Chassis the same as a Chevelle. I put a whooping on a Few Buick GSX's with my 79 Z-28 Camaro I do have 110 HP Nitrous kit on it . I also had a '73 Chevelle Winter beater that I paid $300.00 for very rusty had to put in new floor boards and then spray foamed the floorboards and trunk. The Trunk was totally rusted out thanks to a leaking rear window. I replaced the heads and cam and put the stock cam and cam chain out of my Z-28 Camaro in it.. 1970 64 CC heads for higher compression for driving in the Mountains in Colorado. Wiand SP20 intake spread bore 450 CFM Holley and headers got 22 MPG on the highway .. National 55 MPH speed limit. I also had the Turbo 350 rebuilt for $250.00
