The beneficiary of a recent rotisserie restoration. the car can be displayed and driven for years without worry. And. thanks to the folks at Motion Performance. it's a one-of-a-kind classic that's virtually guaranteed to gain value!By now you probably know that most of our investment grade offerings feature substantial documentation.

South Carolina to Lindsey-Hopkins Buick in Marietta. Georgia at the request of a money-wielding Georgia Tech student. That student originally hailed from Long Island and. during one of his trips home. decided to stop by Motion Performance for some choice modifications. And the duo promptly began a life of bare-knuckle pavement domination. eventually becoming legends in the Atlanta street racing scene. Unfortunately. priorities change and. roughly three years into its life. the car was sold to a second owner. Both that owner and its third owner pledged loving restorations which turned into years of parts storage. And finally. circa 2005. an avid Buick enthusiast. and owner of Marietta's Then and Now Auto. purchased. researched and restored the car. That restoration was. in typical Then and Now fashion. a highly detailed. rotisserie rebuild. During that rebuild. the car's body was stripped to bare metal and massaged into better-than-factory alignment. When that alignment was as close to perfect as possible. correct Saturn Yellow was decked in satin stripes. sealed in glossy clear and buffed to a super slick shine. And today. this GSX presents as a no-nonsense classic that turns heads and drops jaws!By 1970. Buick had pretty much perfected its top dog performance offering both mechanically and aesthetically. At the front of the car. a clean silver grille hangs a bold "GSX" emblem between a heavy bumper. yellow-trimmed T3s and a small chin spoiler. Behind that grille. a locked and vented hood incorporates a beefy tachometer in front of hidden wipers. Soft Ray glass and bright stainless trim. At the sides of that hood. color-keyed mirrors and traditional door handles perfectly complement small "MOTION" emblems. vivid "GSX" call-outs and dent-free fender caps. And at the back of the car. a massive bumper centers a classy "BUICK" script between clear tail lamps and a tall. "GSX" branded spoiler. While the exterior of this A-Body does an excellent job of upholding GM Design's world-class visuals. the engine compartment is where purists REALLY start to take notice. And for good reason. because the 455 cubic inch V8 that's bolted between the car's freshly detailed fenders is the kind of powerhouse that makes people put up or shut up. Turn the key and a Motion-installed Holley 3-barrel mixes air from a Motion-installed 'fly's eye' air cleaner with fuel that's supplied by two electronic. Motion-installed fuel pumps. That air/fuel mixture travels into a Motion-installed Edelbrock B4B intake which. with the help of stock GM internals. creates detuned 9. 5 to 1 compression that's perfectly compatible with pump gas. Fire for that compression is provided by an Accel distributor. which shoots sparks through Mallory Ramcharger plug wires thanks to an Accel coil and Motion-installed Phase III ignition. Spent gases from that fire are jetted through Motion-installed Mickey Thompson Competition Plus headers. And cooling for that cycle is provided by a factory radiator that circulates water around an old school Frigidaire AC system via pliable hoses and correct tower clamps. Well-planned details like fresh decals. a Delco battery topper. correct Motion valve covers and an even coat of Satin Black paint prove someone spent a lot of time executing this Buick's restoration. And it all adds up to one fully-sorted road rocket which is all day reliable and nice enough to grace the front row at a national car show. Oh. and did I mention the big red engine is believed to be a factory exchange block that was pre-assembled by the pros at Motion Performance?As you might imagine. the tweaked 455 needed ample backup to effectively establish street credibility. So. Motion complemented Buick's already impressive mechanicals with a few choice components. First and foremost. this coupe's Turbo-Hydramatic 3-speed has been hooked to a 12-bolt Chevrolet rear end that's fitted with a finned cover and quick. 4. 10 gears. Below that drivetrain. a correct Rally Ride Control suspension is supplemented with Hurst shocks and yellow Lakewood ladder bars. Naturally. factory power steering and power front disc and rear drum brakes are present and accounted for. Exhaust flows through Motion-installed pipes and vintage Thrush mufflers. The big block's torque meets the pavement through slick Keystone mags. which spin correct G60-15 Mickey Thompson Indy Profile S/S around Motion-branded spinners. And overall. the bottom of this professionally restored classic appears to be in excellent. show worthy condition. Pop the coupe's sculpted doors and you'll find a correct Black interior that's steeped in subdued tri-shield style. Comfy seats and fade-free door panels mix with a tight headliner and stain-free carpet to provide big-time contrast to the car's Saturn Yellow exterior. In front of those seats. a straight. Motion-branded dash hangs clean Rally gauges next to a retrofitted radio delete. At the base of that dash. a simple shifter rides inside an ornate console and heavy duty. tri-shield branded floor mats. In front of the driver. a familiar Buick Rally wheel spins satin-finished spokes around a red-lined horn button. And behind the passengers. a fully restored trunk anchors a Mickey Thompson spare behind a chrome fire extinguisher and the aforementioned fuel pumps.
