Re: first car

1970 Buick Gran Sport 455 Stage I.<br /><br />My brother had wrecked it. My dad told me I could have it, if I could fix it. I was 15.<br /><br />Within a week, I had a new front clip installed. A week later, the paint went on. I left it bone stock, (except for some THM-400 trans. tuning) with the original Buick mag wheels. I added BF Goodrich Radial T/A's.<br /><br />I drove it all through high school.<br /><br />Being from a small towm, the only car car I couldn't whip was my buddies 71 440-6 Cuda, which he STILL HAS.<br /><br />My mom always thought that Buick had a "lot of pep". heh, heh!! <br /><br />And yes, it would drag dad's 22' Starcraft Islander with ease.<br /><br />His tow car was a 73 Ranchero with a 429/c-6. Mom's 73 T-Bird, 460, did even better.

Re: first car

MY,<br /><br />I would have loved to have a drop top too. Mine was gold with a black vinyl top. It was a good looking car. It had the guage package and A/C which I understand was kind of rare.<br /><br />The torque of those engines was truly awesome. I believe the Buick 455 had 525 lb. ft. of torque. That's mid range diesel territory.

Re: first car

DJ, that motor was amazing! my dodge had better<br />gearing and was a 4 speed, the GS was mostly auto<br />i think??? my deville 4.9 is equally as good on<br />the low end, but don't have those extra ponies<br />like the old buick had to close the deal

Re: first car

A 4-door 1955 Chevy Bel-Air with the V8 power pack 4-barrel engine, auto tranny, factory dual exhaust, power windows, factory AC, power steering and brakes, it even had had a factory amp guage in the dash and the delux radio. A very rare car indeed, wish I still had it.
