BUICK GSX STAGE 1 1970

The trip "on the road" by Frank this time leads us to the Glen Canyon "National Recreation Area" located between the northern Arizona and Utah.
the landscape is of immense beauty made ​​of red rocks and charming views, a gorge created by 'massive dam that contains the Lake Powell created by the Colorado River and the San Juan River; Is in this suggestive place that Frank take the occasion for take shots at one of his new creations: Buick GSX 1970

 The Buick is in a mint condition and  it's a very rare car (one of 678 built).

 Painted in Saturn yellow (one of two choice colors available,the other was the apollo white).

The Buick is a perfect comparison between the forced nature with the dam,and the forced power given at this special "muscle"!

The car have all his special parts at their place. Rear spoiler,tachometer external on the hood (characteristic by Buick) special decals on the body,special trim  wheels and more.

 This car expresses which was for buick the sport car concept in the 70's

 the interior is totally black,elegant and sporty as all Buick were made.

under the hood the exuberant engine 455 ci the real power of this Buick: 360 hp with 4 gear on the floor, for burning the road at 129,5 mph.
unfortunately...all this power was also fragile...the engine bench was not reinforced so many Gsx was destroyed.this has been one of motivation for the low success of this "muscle".

In spite of everything this car is beautiful,and Frank is proud  to show us again one of american icon more famous.

PONTIAC LE MANS 1964

Frank at this time have to show us a tasty nibble...and very rare to find around in this shape: a Pontiac Lemans 1964.The reason for the rarity is that the all almost the LeMans survivor has been cloned in GTO .

 Main characteristic of the LeMans is the different air scoop post on the sides instead that on the hood

Frank have given a little Street machine appearance...but has conserved the sobriety and the elegance painted the car with a  saddle bronze poly.

 maybe the oversized tyres at the rear,are overstated...nevertheless  the result is a line fluent and clean.

The interior are bi-tone tan/brown,classic and elegant, as must be in a Lemans  (while in the GTO sister are more poor...)

Under the hood the 326 ci is all new and also in this case is a little bit modified by Frank for more performance...maybe it a challenge with the GTO sister?might have thought Frank when have put his hands on the engine!some doubt comes to mind ... seeing the exhaust...
