Bucket seats, console 4-speed transmission, power steering & brakes, power windows, rally gauges with tachometer, and much more! Massive power! Arguably the most popular year for Grand Sport enthusiasts! The 1970 model was the first year true big block performance came offered from Buick, and with it some of their most aggressive body designs to better compete in the muscle car... arena! This meant potent 455ci V8 engines, Stage I performance engine upgrades, and the ever famous GSX appearance package! Buick would prove it wasn't your grandad's luxury vehicle any longer, but a competitive muscle car that would produce more torque than any other GM offering! A dominating tire shredder! We are very proud to offer this 1970 Buick GS455 convertible. Finished in gorgeous Ming Blue Metallic over Pearl White upholstery and White convertible top, this example comes extremely well equipped with favorable options! Starting with a powerful, professionally built 455ci V8 mated to an M21 close ratio 4-speed transmission; it produces 525 horsepower and massive torque! Both the engine and transmission were fully rebuilt just 5000 miles ago. This included a fresh 10:1 compression 455ci crate block with T/A Performance Stage 2 oval port aluminum heads (2.13 intake/1.755 exhaust) that are fully ported, adjustable pushrods, aluminum roller rockers, high lift camshaft, Edelbrock Performer B4B aluminum intake, Holley Performance 750cfm double pumper with Quikcool heat shield, Ram Air intake, MSD ignition system with Pro-billet distributor, ceramic coated long tube headers, fully welded 3" stainless steel exhaust system with high flow performance mufflers and X-pipe! This is mated to the enhanced close-ratio Muncie M21 with Super Case by Auto Gear, built better internally to better handle serious torque. With this application comes a Hurst short throw shifter, dual friction clutch, and heavy duty throw-out bearing. The rebuilt Buick 10-bolt rear axle houses a 3.23 Posi-Traction gear set. To enhance the road manners of this stellar Buick GS455 Convertible, the chassis was fitted with a full Hotchkis TVS suspension system. Up front, a huge 1 3/8" sway bar was added along with 2" lowering springs, adjustable steering arms, and AGR quick ratio steering box. At the rear, the Hotchkis kit allows fully adjustable upper trailing arms, boxed lower trailing arms, 2" lowering springs, 1" sway bar, Bilstein front shocks and adjustable air shocks at the rear!

Only 1,416 of these GS455 convertibles were ever sold to the public in 1970 making them one of the hardest cars to find on the market today! Make no mistake, 1970 is the last year of performance-inspired street machines in the eyes of many collectors.
