A friend of mine in high school had 3 of these - all GS’s, all black. One350 auto, one 400 4-spd, and one 455 auto. Our last day senior year (‘82) he gave me a ride home in the 400 4 spd and he opened it up for me. I’ll never forget that. Haven’t seen hime since, so I don’t know if he still has them, but these have been one of my all-time favorites! Gorgeous cars, and that 455 was a monster!
I’m pushing sixty. Too young for the muscle car years. I’ve read every Musclemag in the 80s/ 90s. I have always respected and wanted a Buick stage 1. Also have really liked 67 GTX, 427 Fairlanes ……A few other beasts too. Love your car. Respects from Canada

That Granville squatted down in the back. Left front came up and that bad dog was gone. Love every word of that. Wish I was there with you to see it. Those were the cars and they were the days.😂
I rebuilt my ‘72 Stage 1 with 11.5:1 pistons and custom 238/247roller. Like big block Chevys, Buicks do well with lots of compression and cam. That car ran like a M’fer. It was a tire-destroyer.
Just because one magazine article dubbed it the Hemi killer doesn't make it one,geeeesh. If they were that bad ass they would of sold better than a handful.
@@stefanovichmichael9686 one time out of a hundred I wouldn't call a slayer. Is it a stout engine yes,but we all know the Hemi has changed a lot of rule books.
In the late 90's, I bought a 70 GS455 convertible with, electric windows, 400th tranny and, front power discs brakes. It needs a complete rebuilt. It is sad to look at it, laying down in my backyard. You got yourself a gem.
Cant beat the sound of American muscle. Who wants a lambo or Ferrari when u could have something like this❤. No comparison imo. Beautiful car my friend
In the Jan '70 issue of Motor Trend, they tested 2 identical GS 455 stage 1 cars. One 4pd, one Automatic. They even hired a professional driver. The 4spd ran 13.58 @ 104.5 The Auto ran 13.38 @ 105.5. That held the Motor Trend record until 1980 or '81 when a Porsche Turbo Carrera tied the 13.38
MOTOR TREND PLACED THE 1970 BUICK GS STAGE 1 BEHIND A 427 COBRA AND A 427 CORVETTE. THEY WERE QUICKER THAN THE GS STAGE 1. THEY WERE SPORT CARS/ AND 2 SEATERS. ( THAT WAS M/T )
These were considered Kings. I remember a bunch of them cruising back in the 80’s. One of them could switch lanes without turning the wheel, tapped the accelerator and slid sideways. A late friend had one and let me drive it, pure beast.
Very sure we met and spoke about your '70 transition Stage 1 last Sunday at the Endicott show. I was the guy who built the clone and had it for 31 years and was excited to see your car, with both the early and late sequence parts right from the factory. Great car, thanks again for bringing it.
I bought my 70 Stage1 in Manchester, Ct in 1983/1984 and drove it to my new home in Hamilton Ohio in 1985. White , black vinyl top with a 4 speed. I paid 1800.00 and sold it for 1200.00? to another 20something kid in Beavercreek Ohio. Never saw it again. When in Ct. I drove it to several Mopar shows, I love 67 to 69 V8 Darts and 70 Chargers, and I remember quite a few Mopar guys giving my the thumbs up. Very nice of them. Think about it a lot this days since old car prices are INSANE. Yes, according to MotorTrend it was the fastest 4 seater muscle car running a 13:36 in the quarter mile. Muscle Car Review Magazine did the awesome job of covering the famous 3 race shoot out between Roy Badie, avid Mopar guru, in his 70 Hemi GTX, claiming Buicks ran like they have trees tied to them. Thanks Richard Lassiter , was/is? GSCA Gran Sport Club of America president. He won 2 out of the 3 races against what should've been a superior car on paper. I still have the magazine to this day in 2024. Final note. Roy trailered his GTX to the drag strip and Richard drove his car to the event far from his home and drove it home. No doubt with a big smile on his face.
I had a 70 wildcat with a 455 - 4 b in it . Was a super sleeper wasn't a car around could take me off a light really miss it . Only thing i don't miss was anytime you put your foot in it you literally watched the gas gauge drain before your eyes but it was worth it for the grin factor . Very nice car my friend sounds amazing .
True. I had a '68 Electra, 430-4 (you Buick guys know what that means). It was ordered as a "stripy"--no AC, PS, PWs, etc. It was as quick was anything I came up against. Never lost race, and even took a few motorcycles, much to their surprise. 10 MPG no matter how it was driven.

Bought a Silvermist GS 455, 1970.. for $600 from original owner in my neighborhood in 1985. Sold it to a guy in Charlotte for $5,000.. wish I still had it.. appreciate the memories.....
Looks exactly like my 70 stage one, but mine was blue with a vinyl top and an automatic. Ran low 13's at Hayward back in the day, was a fun car, used kenne bell parts in the engine for a little more hp...nice vid, fun seeing all around that car again
Now THAT'S a nice looking & sounding original muscle car. Makes me want to drive back to 1969-71. U should add a vid whereby u let it "graze" as we said back then
Goodday Brett, Far out dude I played that idle through my speakers at 110 % & love ittttt. I am so so envious of your Buick, it is a masterpiece. Can you imagine back in 1970, you just bought this GS / Stage 1 & every morning you have to listen to this symphony of muscle before heading off to work. Imagine the poor neighbors, but it is 1970 & this was normal. Love your GS, Here is why. All black & no vinyl roof. Both P/S & D/S mirrors Tacho Dash Wheel arch moulds Sill panel mould Chrome on Black Colour coded match rims Dog Dish Hubcaps Bucket Seats Just needs a centre console to finish it off, but mate it is a fucking awrsome GS love it.

Incidentally, that's how it was ordered new. When a wheel option wasn't checked off, that's what you got. The car was repossessed very early on and the dealership swapped out the steelies/caps for the flashier chrome rally wheels. I was lucky enough to find these correct 14×6 wheels last year and had the caps sitting on a shelf for the last 20 years.
Enjoy the video walking around your car thinking about starting your car very much thank you into the engine of your car open also your muffler austell thank you❤😊😊😊😊😊😊😊🎉😊
@@brettslater872 All the televised auctions have these high caliber Buicks styled to the 9s, and Buick did make the best looking factory wheels in my opinion. My compliments to you for keeping it original. 💯
1970, 71 and 72 are my favorite years of the muscle car era I use to have a 1972 oldsmobile cutlass supreme and a 72 Buick skylark. I miss them both..they were far better looking and alot more comfortable to ride in than the cars they sell today. The price of cars today is outrageous!!..its not worth it..its a rip off. The repair bills are just as outrageous..so they get better gas mileage..so what!! I should've hung on to the old cars I use to have..they were so much better.
I saw an original black one in a magazine when I was a kid. Supposedly the only one. Guy worked at gm and pulled some strings. Anybody else recall this?
I'm a Mopar at heart, but among all the cars made by General Motors, IBuicks, Olds, Pontiac's and Caddies are my favorites. Nothing wrong with Chevy's, I just think the other divisions are cooler. XD One fine ride right there, lad! 😎👍
Thats a bad looking GS!! I would think that the 4 sp. would have to be kind of a rare option! What kind of cam are you running? My Nephew gave me a 1970 455 out of a Rivera it's an SF code motor.
Thanks! There were 664 4-speed Stage 1 cars built in 1970. So, they're definitely more rare than the comparable LS-6 Chevelle. That's the TA-413 hydraulic cam.
@@brettslater872 Thought you might be running a TA cam. I have a 68 Javelin that has a 455 in it. About the only thing done to the motor is it has a Kenny Bell stage 2 can in it.
She stable to ,and really Raspy ,she probably can pop a wheelie if floored in the right place & time ,my old 71 Buick Skylark was like a Jet with four wheel and it was a automatic transmission,I would floor it then quickly let up and floor it again and she would fly on the road like a bird in the Sky ,well it was a Skylark. ✨🌟✨
Is that 56k ORIGINAL MILES?! That's less than my 2013 Genesis Coupe. 😲 Awesome classic. That 455 is an angry beast. 😈 And she started right up. Man...I could put this on loop just for the idle,
Haha! It certainly is. Crazy, I know but the previous long term owner only put 8K miles on it in the 36 years he owned it. Check out my other videos for more angry big block Buick fare. 😉 And thanks for the compliments. I'm very lucky.
I had a Riviera GS with a stage1 . I had quiet muffler's, she was a 6000 LB. SLEEPER ! She would pass every thing but the 76 station. You could kick in the afterburners and watch the gas gauge drop 1/4 of a tank . That is no lie!
my dad loved him some 4 5 5 , 70 Buick wagon, 74 Electra, 60 Cadillac(brother wrecked in HS, IDK that ones big motor). those old things were tough as nails but fuel wise.... look how low the max RPMs are! I just recently got a C7 7 spd vette, boy does it remind me of the Electra on the highway such effortless power in 7th, of course the vette is all they say it is
@@Angelo-fo8de In the 70s. I had 2 1970 Buick G S 455s. One was stage 1. Rarely. Lost a race. Very lucky to be alive. Because I was - WOW :::- " WILD ON WHEELS.". MISS Those CARS BIG TIME. 🇺🇲✌️
Buicks were built more for Luxury then performance but no doubt the GS & GSX were serious threat to other Muscle Car owners that got a fast wake up call when they lined up beside a BUICK :) There is a Big Reason why their slogan was GOING FAST WITH CLASS
is it a muncie 4 speed? im currently putting together a 69 gs400 stage 1 car that has been 455 swapped and am looking at options for a fairly simple manual swap for it

Haha! It certainly is. Crazy, I know but the previous long term owner only put 8K miles on it in the 36 years he owned it.
Check out my other videos for more angry big block Buick fare. 😉 And thanks for the compliments. I'm very lucky.
I had a Riviera GS with a stage1 . I had quiet muffler's, she was a 6000 LB. SLEEPER ! She would pass every thing but the 76 station. You could kick in the afterburners and watch the gas gauge drop 1/4 of a tank . That is no lie!
I had to turn on my subwoofer so I could revel in this sound. It was almost like being there.
my dad loved him some 4 5 5 , 70 Buick wagon, 74 Electra, 60 Cadillac(brother wrecked in HS, IDK that ones big motor). those old things were tough as nails but fuel wise.... look how low the max RPMs are! I just recently got a C7 7 spd vette, boy does it remind me of the Electra on the highway such effortless power in 7th, of course the vette is all they say it is
That is music !
The Buick GS would rape all cars of the same era !
@@Angelo-fo8de In the 70s. I had 2 1970 Buick G S 455s. One was stage 1. Rarely. Lost a race. Very lucky to be alive. Because I was - WOW :::- " WILD ON WHEELS.". MISS Those CARS BIG TIME. 🇺🇲✌️
I need this as a ringtone.
😂😂
Perfection.....
I had the same car in Northern Virginia in the 80’s but I don’t remember such a large cam.
That's the TA413 I used during the rebuild back in early 2020.
This. Engine sounds like it. Had. A high. Performance. Cam shaft installed it wouldn't sound like this with a. Factory cam shaft
My dream car!
Mine, too!
Awesome.. but with that big 455 I'd want power brakes and this one doesn't appear to have them
This car was originally ordered to do one thing and apparently, stopping wasn't one of them. 🤷🏻♂️😂
She's a beauty
Thanks!
Hey would you mind if I use this video for my channel. I will credit you for it
Sure. 👍🏻
@@brettslater872 thank you
You're welcome.
She starts real easy Brett… nice video.
Thanks!
Buicks were built more for Luxury then performance but no doubt the GS & GSX were serious threat to other Muscle Car owners that got a fast wake up call when they lined up beside a BUICK :) There is a Big Reason why their slogan was GOING FAST WITH CLASS
I wholeheartedly agree!
Wonder hot they been with low gears in rear
It winds up QUICK.
Probably run with a stock ZL1
is it a muncie 4 speed? im currently putting together a 69 gs400 stage 1 car that has been 455 swapped and am looking at options for a fairly simple manual swap for it
Yes, sir. Factory M21.
There's a bunch of threads on v8buick about the manual swap. Lots of good info.
@@brettslater872 how difficult was the swap? im 26 and never done a manual swap only engine swaps lol
Super nice sound , no trumpet up it's ass! Beautiful Buick!
Thank you!!
The HEMI killer!! Awesome ride my friend..
I couldn't agree more! 😁
Absolutely amazing 👍👍👍
Thanks!!
SWEET!
Best sound ever. 🔥🔥
Sounds awesome! What kind of mufflers are you using?
Thanks!
That's a 30 plus year old 3" exhaust from Torque Tech with single chamber Flowmasters.
That thing sounds ridiculous! Love it
Thank you!

Q-jet's are the best.
