Buick GSX

One thing you can do is look for a couple of things you should see on a 455 Stage 1 motor. Chrome valve covers and a Stage 1 sticker on the air-cleaner. Yes they could have been changed through the years, but I would start with those. The Vin # won't tell you if it was a factory Stage 1 X car. Check for documentation (Buildsheet or order sheet). There is a gentlemen who has all records on 70 GSX cars. They way they came from the factory. If you would like this info, PM me and I'll share it with you. The contact is a guy by the name of Wayne Roberts.

In addition. I wouldn't mind owning another GSX. If you end up with the car, or help the gentlemen sell it, put me in line, I would be interested. Patrick

Not all GSX's are Stage One cars. Both 4 speed and auto non Stage Ones were produced. Also, the Sloan Museum has info similar to PHS docs on some of the Stage One cars.

True, not all GSX cars are Stage 1 cars. 400 of the 678 built in 70 were stage 1 cars. The two things that first stand-out are the Chrome valve covers on the Stage cars. Red on the non-stage cars. And the air-cleaner.

Sloan doesn't have documentation for 70 Buicks. Wayne Roberts owns the documentation. I can tell from experiance when checking on my car.

What color is the car. Apollo White or Saturn Yellow?
