For sale in our Chicago showroom is a truly powerful and iconic muscle car, a 1970 Buick GS 455 Stage 1. VIN 446370H240504. The relatively unknown, very expensive, and very rare 1970 GS 455 Stage 1 drew a great amount of attention and controversy in the muscle-car world when in the 1980s it was listed as faster than any of the Chrysler Hemi cars in the original "50 fastest muscle cars" list. This Hemi vs. Stage 1 controversy has prompted several contests to settle the issue; it remains an unsettled matter and has been a great benefit to car magazine sales over the years. This numbers matching car is quite the catch. Options include: AC(not hooked up and not all parts included), AM radio, power brakes, power steering, seat belts, vinyl interior, radial tires and rally wheels. Under the hood is the strong running 455 CID V8 engine backed by a Turbo 400 automatic transmission (coded BB) and the stock rear-end (coded 00). This Buick has documents from GS Historical Society verifying exactly how this muscle car rolled off the showroom floor. Moreover, the GS was appraised by XCaliber Auto for $56,000! The exterior of the car is painted the original silver mist color and has mostly all original black vinyl interior. What a great looking, timeless color combination! The metal in the car's body is very original with the exception of the RR quarter. The front and rear chrome bumpers have been recoated and now look great. This is a frame on restored car because a frame off wasn't necessary for the car's great original condition. If you are looking for a great investment piece or just want one cool muscle car to enjoy, look no further. To view this car in greater detail, including an HD video, please visit www.gatewayclassiccars.com or our Chicago showroom. For more information call 708-444-4488.
