We originally built this car with Frank Urbinati back in 1996.It debuted at the GS Nationals where it won the GS Pro Street class races. It was also the 1st GS Pro Street class car to break into the 9's at the time.Thanks to Frank this project came to life. Fast forward to 2010 and the car has been taken over by Bob Ortolani,the car still looks great and Bob decided to bring it up another level...

This was the car's 1st 9 sec. pass. Built around the GS Club Of America's GS Street Eliminator Class rules. A real street car naturally aspirated with a complete exhaust system,full interior etc. It is the first GS to run in the 9's using the original cast iron Stage1 heads, under the GSE rules! It is a stock stroke 455 with an .038 overbore to give it 464ci. It weighs 3500lbs and it idles smoo...
I owned three skylark a 70, and 2 71s., I love these cars so much, and I got into alot of trouble street racing them. But, no matter, where I went, in any of my skylarks, a) I got respect. B) I won bar tabs and bets by racing. C) I put fear in any driver I raced against....ricer, euro, or domestic muscle. (Modern or classic). My 70 model with just a 268 grind cam and ported heads on 10.0 compression engine absolutely DESTROYED a 2014 nissan gtr nizmo black edition by a full second at thunder valley in noble California last year.....the entire crowd was jumping up and down as if I'd won the national championship or something.....that's called respect.....oooooyaaaa.
That's Noble, oklahoma not noble, California.....
that car is possesed!!!! Imagine if Buick could come out with a new version of the GSX, 6 cylinder and supercharged and its 440hp ! I do know the engineers at Buick really knew their stuff back then.
I gotta say you definitely have big brass ones for staying in it during the wheelie , Thanks for sharing this torque monster with us.
Really nice! I Hope to get my car in the high 9's someday. We drive a 72 GS"X". Keep up the good work!
WOULDN'T YOU REALLY RATHER HAVE A BUICK?
LOL! 60 foot lights were tripped by the rear wheels! LOVE IT! =))
just bought 94 buick lesabre limited with 105k miles on it runs great love this car wish I had money hook it up anyone wanna hook me up with cool paint job lol
I bet a set of wheelie bars cost less than a new front end. Probably a good investment, you think?
I like it! How do you figure 60' on a car that carries the front past the lights? Does it have a cage? Past the point where it really needs it.
much love from a Buick born fan...KEEP IT UP MY BROTHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Music sounds like Joe Satriani??
It a 10" converter that stalls 3600
What stall are you running?
LOL.... I still have my old Kenny-Bell catalogs from the mid 70's.
I absolutely could not agree more. I had a 1970 stage 1 w/4 speed. Only thing I changed was the 10 bolt rear to a 12 bolt. I owned many muscle cars but this was my favorite and most powerful in stock trim. Had a 70 Torino cobra jet that I modified quite a bit that was fast but in stock trim the Stage one would take it
so much for a buick cant run in the 9's my hemi buddies all say.. that car is awesome!!!
Couple items of thought: Fine print of new engine garauntee- "Wheelie bars highly recommended, but not included". Note to self: Buy new packs of underwear when buying new engines (and wheelie bars). Dam nice looking car. Almost too mint looking to race, but you know you gotta!
Holy shit! I'm typically a FORD guy, but Buicks just command so much freak'n respect. I owned a stock '71 GS455 many years ago for about 2 months. It was hands-down, faster than any other muscle car I've ever owned. I really wish Buick would follow the lead of the new Camaro, Challenger and Mustang and produce a modern day retro body version of the 70-71 GS.
Yes the control arms are lowered a bit, an anti roll bar has been added recently but hasn't been tested yet.
Going fast with class
Are the lower, rear, control arms modified (dropped in front)? Thanks
Oh, Hell yeah!
Yeah, drilling & porting oil galleys, re-routing oil to feed rear of block.
THIS IS WAT ITS ALL ABOUT RICERS....TTTOOOORRRRRRQQQQQQUUUUUUUUUUUUUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The question is, what was the solution for #7 & 8 rod and the rear main bearings???Nothing like spinning bearings @ 5k on your one once matching numbered 1970 Stage 1
A lot of TLC went into that car. Thumbs up !
What I love with Buicks is there's no 200 different combinations between respectable sleepers and top of the line launchers.You couldn't get a "somewhat" Stage 1 or 2. Its all the way or take your shopping somewhere else Mac !
That's a stout Buick, my friend. When I bracket race I always clinch my teeth so hard that my jaws and eye sockets hurt really bad when the day is over. Having to make up ground in a hurry is nerve racking. Keep up the good work.
he's a dog(lol)...love it man, oh and im black. just wanna point that out. i like fast cars and big rims!!
It has 4.350 bore, 3.90 stroke,13.2:1, 3800 stall, 1050 Dominator and 4.10 gear.
Working on my 71 GS 455. What compression ratio, Bore, stroke, carb, stall converter and diff ratio. That car of yours hooks up nice, no doubt about non stock control arms there... I would be happy if mine gets into 10`s. We are 690' above sea level.
thumbs up for wheelie (:
Finally, some correct music with a driving beat to go with a kickass car tearin' it up!
It has a factory 1970 Buick iron block with stock stroke but longer rods.
is the block stock?
The T/A heads are great! No mistakes there!
That made me throw up cuz I invented 3000 on Ta heads
... WITHOUT ALUMINUM AFTERMARKET HEADS, "Mid-11's-Steve." LOL
Buick's are great!!!! torque makes you go!!!!
Very Nice!
This car was featured in Hemmings Muscle Machine's issue #112 "Built for the strip, this 1970 Buick GSX Stage 2 tribute is just as comfortable on the street." Now that's some Buick Power for you guy's! - Beautiful my friend.
Nice! Buick 455 is my favorite engine, I would love to put one in my 69 Chevelle hehehe! I have a youtube channel dedicated to the Buick Boattail Riviera, check it out!
race fuel
unholy
GOING FAST WITH CLASS!!!
Holy crap, a 1.36 60ft?!?!? What a sweet machine!
Going Fast With Class!
That's an old Kenne-Bell scoop on a steel Skylark hood, slicks are 9 X 30 Hoosiers.
Now THAT'S a Buick! **tear runs down cheek**
That was awesome! Thanks for posting the video.
