This 1970 GS 455 is a lethal blast from the past — and living in an unlikely spot! Currently tucked among the varied treasures inside the National Auto and Truck Museum in Auburn, Ind., is a 1970 Buick GS 455 that's a little more grand than others of its ilk. Not that there isn't anything already grand about the 1970 Buick Gran Sport, a brutish performance car that bucked Buick's rep for building conservative "doctors cars." Available with a 315-hp, four-barrel 350-cid V-8 as the GS 350 or either the 350-hp or Stage 1 360-hp 455-cid V-8 as the GS 455, the midsize 1970 Gran Sports showed Buick's wild side amidst a showroom of earth-tone Electra 225 and LeSabre behemoths. By installing the 350- and 455-cid V-8s from these full-size Buicks into the midsize Skylark, Buick created a tire roaster that could make an Electra 225 or LeSabre blush. |
