Your ALL TIME Favorite 1970 GS Stage1 Picture

I don't know whose car this is or if it is a Stage 1, but I like the stance and the lines.

 

No idea who's car, but it was my desktop background for a couple years. Found it on google in 2006.

 

Clone,air ride technologies built that I think

 

Couple of them..



same car, 6 years later, and 3/4 of a second faster

That is the RideTech GSX, which is:
NOT a "clone", but a REAL GSX, that Bret Voelkel specifically chose to "improve" as the company's front vehicle
NOT an LS1 (or other LS engine), but a 538hp BUICK 455 STAGE 1 engine, using TA Performance parts
NOT a V8Buick board member, as the owner of RideTech, Bret Voelkel's personal record-breaking performance vehicle

Here's the direct link for specs of this "unoriginal/ORIGINAL" car:

^ So, THAT'S what my car looked like, when it was new!
It will look a lot different as a White GSX, after the frame-off restoration is done!

My favorite Stage 1 pic? This one; my own original concept (American flag within GSX stripes, to represent THE American Musclecar!):

Any approvals?

 

The painfully original "Mona Lisa" with 74,588.9 miles--(as of 01-31-13)-- + time slip 99.999% stock on (real) street tires!! -- (10-14-06)

 

Looks great Dave

 

Best Stage 1 in the thread.

 

I don't have a photo but I really liked the frame off red Stage 1 that John Chamberlain restored with the iron Stage 2 heads.

 

here's mine.original bench seat 4 speed stage1 car.

 

Dave painted it, but Gary restored it if I understand the story correctly. It was a real 4-speed and it was magnificent. Who owns it now??

 

Motor trend test car in 1970. First time I had seen another GS other than mine (in 86, no internet, saw pic on hot rod magazine?). The pic conveys the lines, the power, the excitement and motion of the car...awesome.
