In contrast to the previous year’s figure of 440 lb-ft of torque at 3,200 RPM, the 1970 GS pounded out an incredible 510 lb-ft at only 2,800 RPM, the highest figure in the industry. But Buick engineers were not finished. They created the Stage 1 package featuring a radical cam profile and higher-flow heads and carburetion, raising the official factory horsepower rating to 360. The GSX appearance package was available in radiant Saturn Yellow and Apollo White, and gave the car front and rear spoilers, contrasting accent body striping, heavy-duty suspension with larger Goodyear Polyglas tires and a Matte Black hood-mounted tach. Documented with the original build sheet and title history, this Saturn Yellow 1970 Buick GSX Stage 1 from the Wellborn Musclecar Museum is one of 118 produced with a 4-speed manual transmission.
