Did you know that the 1970 Buick GS Stage 1 was one of the most powerful muscle cars built in the 1964-1974 era? This car had the highest torque rating of any muscle car built, a whopping 510 ft lbs at only 2800 RPMs. Perhaps this is why there have been more than several "Hemi verses Stage 1 " races over the last 25 years. Both cars are pretty scarce items. I remember back in the 1970s you almost never saw a factory Hemi car out on the street, at cruises, or even the dragstrip. This is because there were only about 8000 Hemi cars built between 1966 and 1971. And, Buick Stage 1 cars were even rarer -- only 2800 built in 1970 and far fewer in the other years. This explains the general lack of knowledge of these cars. They weren't overlooked because they just weren't there! The buyers back then who bought these cars didn't want to be the owner of just another Chevelle or Roadrunner and usually had a little more money than their neighbors. And, of course this "country club" set never came near a dragstrip. However, with all of the races against Hemis, the Pure Stock races, the F.A.S.T. series races over the last 10-25 years, the GS Stage 1 usually being at or very near the top of the heap, a GS Stage 1 has become a very-sought after automobile. Fast with class, ultra-rare, and neck-snapping torque unlike anything you have experienced before, the Buick GS was the muscle car of choice for the person who wanted speed AND luxury. You really can have both! Here we present the cream of the crop for the discriminating investor / collector.
1971 GS 455 convertible, fairly new rebuild on non numbers 455, rebuilt numbers matching TH400, believed to have 3:73 posi rear, loaded with options including power windows, door locks, a/c, ( which needs re-charge, ) tach and gauges, am/fm, etc. Needs paintwork and minor dents repaired and some restoration work but solid Louisiana car, runs very quick, drives well. Priced very attractively at only $19,000. Better hurry on this one!
Before you skip over this beauty in the making make sure you take a closer look! This GSX has an immaculate body and beautiful paint. The restoration is still in progress but is over 95% complete. All parts are available to complete the project and will go with the vehicle. The current owner is also willing to complete the project for the potential buyer for a price.
The price for this vehicle is negotiable. If you’re interested please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have, and for a complete summary of the restoration and more pics of this future show stopper continue reading!

1970 Buick Gran Sport. Excellent condition and very original. This is not a restored pile all dressed up, but a very original car with the only items not as factory are one re-paint and maintenance items. The car retains all of its original body panels, interior surfaces, wheels, and most importantly the drive-train. This is of course the awesome 455 with a turbo 400 to back it. Floor shifted and runs tight and smooth. Idle circuit works perfect, runs cool, good oil pressure, and sounds nice. Just get in it and cruise. The car runs and drives awesome. $25,000.
This one’s too good to let go. Read more after the jump for more details but otherwise, contact us now before someone else does!
How about this first class race-car? Actually, it can also be driven on the street too. Car runs mid 10s through the mufflers! A Skylark convertible with the GS package added. 4 speed! Stage 2, best of everything! You ought see this thing get down the track. For the man who has everything and does not have a very fast convertible that can be driven to cruise nights! If you need attention this will sure get it for you!! You know the drill — 65K invested, but will sell for $39,995. Lots and lots of car here for the money. Like I say in one of the editorials, buy one. It is later than you think.

Hard to find like this! $50,000.
Frame-off restoration, original engine, carb, distributor, rear axle, etc. Replacement M22 transmission. Meticulous restoration completed last year. How does it get any better than a factory fire red 4 speed 70 Stage 1 without air conditioning? $95,000.
We’ve got a over 30 pics of this beauty! Follow the jump to see the whole gallery!
If you want to own an absolutely gorgeous 1970 Stage 1 that will stand out from the sea of the much more common reds, yellows, blue and black cars, take a close look at this car. This California car has been completely restored from a very rust-free example. This car scored a very, very impressive 399 points out of 400 at the 2009 GS Nationals in Bowling Green, Ky! You can look all you want to and you won’t find a flaw or anything wrong with this car. ( I know this because I looked and looked too and I was one of the judges! ) Original records from Buick, Calif emissions car, original decked, date-coded block, also has original numbers-matching 4 speed Muncie along with the 3:64 posi rear. Non a/c 4 speed 70 Stage 1 cars are among the most desired of all Buick collectible muscle-cars and you will never go wrong owning this car! Certainly the very best money can buy. $95,000
We’ve got more than 20 pics of this flawless wonder after the jump!
Original numbers matching engine, frame-off, way too many NOS parts to list, certainly one of the nicest in existence, magazine feature car. Approximately 600 built. $110,000.
Completely matching numbers down to its original carb and distributor. I know this because I owned the car for 10 years back in the 80s / 90s. The current owner had the car frame-on restored and brought it back to 100 point status. Originally a North Carolina car with full documentation including protect-o-plate and original bill of sale, this car has never been rusty and even has all of its original sheet metal. Special order Riviera azure blue paint. I have never seen another GS painted azure blue from the factory although I’m sure there must have been several. Top shelf ultimate drop-top musclecar! $130,000.
“One family” owned before myself, untouched powertrain from new, original top, lighter and ashtrays never used, one repaint in early 90s. Buckets, A/C, power windows, etc. This car is a real sweetheart! 232 of these gems were built. That’s it. $140,000.
It doesn’t get any better than this! Saturn yellow paint, non A/C, professional “white gloves” frame-off restoration using only NOS parts as needed. Best trailer queen you will ever own! Original powertrain too! $200,000.
One of two built. See the signage in the photos. This car has 13,000 original miles. I truly have no idea what this car is worth, but likely less than the 2008 appraised value of 1.8 million. Call and we’ll talk about it if you want to own something that no one else in the world has. A very few Chrysler exhibition muscle cars still exist along with an AMC or two, but the two Buick Gran Sport exhibition cars are believed to be the only 1970General Motors exhibition cars to exist. Hard to put a price on this car but if you’re interested, we’ll try.

Record deficits. Taxes. Unemployment. Global warming. Consumer confidence. Wall Street. Terrorisim. China. Housing turmoil. Oil spill in Gulf. These are just some of the many headlines in any newspaper or on-line stories every day. With all that is going on around us, how are we to know what to do with our financial decisions? Many, many people are clue-less or just plain afraid to make any decisions and I do have to admit that any big decision should not be taken lightly.
In the collector car market, as a general rule of thumb, prices here have taken a hit as well. Average cars that used to bring 50-60K are now trading for half that, and in some cases less. Much higher end cars too have taken a hit, which mean even bigger losses for those who bought when prices were high. However, the upper end cars are still trading hands and prices are strong. The key to good return on investment is to buy the highest horsepower versions. In other words, buy a Hemi-car instead of a 440. Buy the LS6 Chevelle instead of the LS5. In the Buick community, buy the Stage 1 instead of the GS350. Notice I said ”return on investment”. These are not cars that you would drive every day.Unfortunately, these cars are to be frame-off restored, stored in climate control and be rarely driven. Not much fun, but neither is having money in the stock market. At least in the collector car market, you can go out to the garage and touch your investment. Are you sure you can do that with your stock market investment tomorrow? It may not be there.
This, I think, is why money seems to again be flowing into collector cars. Usually when the markets are in a downturn or in turmoil, collector car values go up. This is happening again. I always remember reading an article years and years ago that lamented the fact that when the stock market went on sale, people ran away, and when it was red-hot and over-priced, people were jumping in.( Just like those who bought their cars when the market was red-hot.) Don’t make that mistake! Right now, collector cars are on sale and they are starting their upward edging again.
With that in mind, take a look at some of our offerings. We have many hi-end cars that we feel have bottomed in value and heading back up, and also some good solid muscle-cars that you can actually take out and have FUN with and still feel secure that your investment is not only a good value but that you can also enjoy. A muscle-Buick as most of you know, is very rare, very fast, and very luxury-oriented. You can not do any better. Buy one. It is later than you think.
The following article is from the January 1970 issue of Motor Trend magazine featuring the Buick GS Stage 1. We’ve tried to make this as readable as possible while at the same time keeping the filesize down to a managable level.
Here’s a very informative and rather humorous article from Cars Illustrated of the 1987 Buick Regal T-Type. Again we’ve had to weigh quality with filesize. Hope this isn’t too hard for some of you to read.
