Mike, you are a man who knows muscle cars. But get a GSX Stage 1 or better yet, a Stage 1 with factory Stage 2 heads



There's a guy in my old car club that owns the 100% street legal factory prototype 1970 GSX Stage 1- one of none produced, street legal from Buick when made, original car not a recreation. Unbelievable it survived.

My 1970 Buick's a clone and it sadly needs to be sold. I haven't the money or time. Here she is in happier times, 2003, just out of the paint booth. Got sideswiped while parked two years later. Owned it since '89
