1970 Buick GSX 455 Stage 1 in Saturn Yellow & Ride on My Car Story with Lou Costabile 

Hi, If you like this video, please click on SUPER THANKS ❤ with the $ in the middle which is the SUPER THANKS button under the video. Thank you! Lou

Muscle Car Royalty! “Wouldn’t you rather have a Buick, a brand new Buick?” Yes I would! Beautiful car and great restoration!❤❤❤❤👍 Thanks Lou!❤

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.

OMG! What an elegant classy beauty!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gorgeous GSX !!! A friend has a low mileage Apollo White 4-speed GSX in his collection… my favorite muscle car, love these cars !

Lou; This Buick GSX is a definite home run. I remember when these were brand new. When Buick was Buick. GM WAS the mark of excellence back then. You were proud to own one of these fine cars. The good old days, I will miss them forever. I was still young then but they were gr8 times.

The most underrated 1/4 mile muscle car

Gas was just 30cents a gallon when this car came out. Chump change even for 1970. My school cafeteria lunch was 30cents.

What a beautiful car. Incredible how you find all these exceptional cars

These were beautiful cars remember them well they also were very fast cars the 455 were torque monsters thanks Lou and God Bless.

It's another great car and another great visit with Mr. Doerge! The restoration turned out nicely and it's always a treat to see, hear, and experience a Stage 1 Buick GSX. Thanks, Lou!

Rare car. Saw a convertible at a car show in the late 70’s.

The old Buick saying was "Fast with Class". It should really be "VERY Fast with Class". My first ride ever in a muscle car was in a '71 GS Stage1 so these Buicks hold a special place in my heart. Could someone please remind me why I didn't buy one 40 years ago when I had chance? Love the car, love the video 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.

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!

They did a great job integrating that rear spoiler it makes the rear.

What a nice Buick, and that engine and saturn yellow. Great car. Thanks Lou!

Another stunner Lou.

I am a Ford guy, but I have always said that this car was the most beautiful muscle car that was not a Ford.

Beautiful Buick! Great restoration and love the Trunk & Treats. Thanks Dennis and Lou for letting us see this classic.

Buicks answer to the hemi.

Another beauty from Dennis...Thanks Lou.

Dennis sure knows how to have a classic muscle car restored! Man, that's nice. I remember how nice these Buick's drove, smooth & a nice ride. Thanks, Dennis & Lou...

Awesome!!! I loved Chevy Chevelle 's and Pontiac 's but the Buick GSX and the Olds 4-4-2 were sweet too.

Just Wow!

Tach on the hood. I always thought that was something only Pontiac did. Always something to learn watching your videos.

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!😊

Wow! Holy Yellow, Batman! Fantastic Buick GSX! I love how GM managed to take their intermediate sized coupes and make each different and each evolved into a performance model that were different and wonderful. It would be such a treat to have each of these performance coupes from this vintage in a collection covering all GM brands. Lou, you really treated us today! Thanks for all your efforts!

In my view this is it - the top dog of muscle cars. What a joy to soak in this feature. A big thanks to caretaker Dennis and to Lou for another world beater on the channel. The Velvet Hammer !

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 ⚾⚾

Класне авто! Чудова реставрація!Двигун! Дякую!

WOW , beautiful car ! I used to have a 71 skylark and a 71 Buick Apollo !

Nice car, serious restoration of a rare car. Good job, Lou.

Awesome 👏🏽 I love ❤️ this GSX Stage 1 my brother had GS super sport HEMI killer Muscle 💪🏾 Car with a quickness 😮thanks keep the Wheels 🛞 up thanks 😊

“ just like the GTO back in the day it had that……………………….tachometer 😄 man’s in a hurry! ❤️ The Buick is always my favorite car story Lou! 👍👍

You know how to pick 'em Lou. Another nice one...

What is really great about this channel is that there are some cars that I have not really thought too much about, yet I'll watch the video and learn something because your videos are so detailed and informative. This is one of those vids. If I was collecting cars, this probably wouldn't be on my list. But man alive it is really beautiful and worth a second look! Great color, great striping. WOW, that exhaust was unbelieveable!!! It has a really elegant looking dash too. Oh yeah, it's a Buick!! Love it.

"Going Fast with Class"!

🙋‍♂️THANKS LOU AND DENNIS,FOR SHARING THE PERFECT RESTO ,ON A PERFECT DAY FOR THE RIDE AND ❤️THE COLOR 🤗💚💚💚

Another beautiful vehicle - I don’t think I’ve ever seen one of these in person before

Wow Excellent and amazing restoration. What a Buick! Thanks Dennis for restoring these beautiful relics into top showroom condition. Thanks Lou for this remarkable find.

What a great job on the resterstion that's one of the best trunk n treets I've seen

Just a beautiful vehicle there snd Dennis the owner appears to be a brilliant conversationalist. Lou as per usual you are truly one of a kind with that exceptional eye for what we love to see in classic cars.

Absolutely mint! 💛🖤💯🎸🤠

BEAUTIFUL! 💛💛💛

Wow! A perfect car! Gorgeous, too! One of the very best cars you have presented! Thank you, Lou!!

That is a beautiful car! Sounds amazing too!

I see No money was spared restoring this beauty. Thanks for sharing Lou and Dennis.

Buicks fast with Class! I currently own a saturn yellow 70 gsx, as well as my factory 4 speed 66 gran sport #s matching 401 nailhead,,, marina blue code FF it's been in my care for over 22 year's now! Buicks the most underrated car's in existence!

Now that's what we call a muscle car great job on the restoration at first I was thinking that was not a very good read but toward the end we said the motor was new now I understand why hidden rev it up so hard still sounds great though😮😮

Top Buick Muscle💪 Great car!

Beautiful!!

One of the last of the greatest American cars made.

Wow! Great car! 👍👍

& yall happy to be in my city?.. Chicago.💪🏾😤

Its a WINNER!!!!

it's a beast

2nd video.. randomly stumbled upon the 1st video of the "442 W 30" Learned your phrase "put the babies to sleep 😴" already..💪🏾😤🤣 New sub.

My first car was a Gold 1970 Buick GS, 350 4 barrel carb. Nothing anywhere near this but even it was a beast! First day I got my licence I rolled down the windows and went 100mph. Dusted a lot of fast cars in official street races. Sounds dumber than it was; I really was a good driver, just fast but safe fast!!

My aunt had a 68 Wildcat convertible.

Sweet ride

Freakin beautiful car ❤

A beautiful restoration. That canary yellow with black trim pops. I believe he said it was white originally. Would had loved to see a before and after. Thank you Lou. For sharing this rare Buick.

Awesome LouGoogle is advertising 4 U Brother. Calling it The HEMI Killer. Nice[1]Guys. I'd love to see it again when the engine is broken in✌️🤠🌵

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.

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.

Thanks Lou and

Sweet!

Beautiful

My goodness, if you were to encapsulate the essence of John Bonham pounding on his drum kit, in an exhaust note, this would be it right here.

Lou, American muscle cult car. 🇺🇸💪🏼 Gr8 feature.

My buddy has one. Manual transmission.

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.

A cool and comfortable ride in 1970 with the A/C on while the guys in the LS6 454 and 426 Hemi's were sweating like pigs.

Legendary car

Nice car, license plate holder for a standard GS that reads "Smokin' GrasS, need to fix the sail panel.

Wouldn't mind it being 1970 again. Haha

Nice 😊

Very Nice ✅ Only Original…Once

Nice restoration, looks like he used rust preventive coatings, would loved to have seen the underside. wow..

Beautiful Buick, but come on old man! You could have stepped on it at least just once!!!

Truly, this is not my Grandfather's Buick! Actually the dash is very nice. Almost a nod to AMC?

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

Lou, can't you get those old guys to open up the throttle for the fans ? 😞

🙂

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...

I dont know, it might be a different guy, but i think he did post this car in idle about 5 years ago or 10 i dont remember but i have seen this car on youtube before.

Tire treads, beware!

Feel free driving at high speed,when having such bumpers.....

Powerful like president Nixon!

Over 500ft lbs Tq. as I remember.

You weren't heading east on the PA Turnpike Thursday morning by chance? Identical car.

Wasn't the GSX the fastest quarter mule car in 1970?

GS=Gran Sport, X=Xtra🤥?
