The Buick GSX was every bit as powerful as (most of) the Chevelles, and had a much nicer clock. They were square as I recall.Buick, known for many years as a geezer car, was on fire back in the 60's and 70's, high powered and marvelous to look at. What say you?

One of the top iconic muscle cars!
Sweet. I've got a '78 Wagoneer with a 401 AMC. Helluva engine.The Buick GSX was every bit as powerful as (most of) the Chevelles, and had a much nicer clock. They were square as I recall.
A buddy had one of those boattail Riverias and that car was sweet. Smooth as glass, powerful and ultra stylish inside and out.
Don't forget the AMC Javelin.

That was my 1st car, same color too. With gold Keystone wheels & Kelly Radials on it. I remember buying seat covers and a F'ing tape deck at Kmart about 35 years ago (I just dated myself) My old man was like, nothing wrong with that 8-Track player. Damn, didn't know how good I had it!Awesome!

Hope you let it go. I had to get over not buying Amazon and Bitcoin early on. Coulda woulda shouldaIn 1980 I was offered a 69 Dodge Charger Daytona (wing car), with a 426 hemi and 4 speed for $11,000. Not getting it then proved to be a pretty bad decision. It was nice and original. One like that now would probably fetch $250,000.
That Riviera was a sexy beast.Buick, known for many years as a geezer car, was on fire back in the 60's and 70's, high powered and marvelous to look at. What say you?

351 or 400?my first car was a black 77 mercury cougar xr7 v8.. thing was a tank. under 10 mpg.
Bought a chrome colored '69 Dodge Charger in'72 when I was in the USAF.Hope you let it go. I had to get over not buying Amazon and Bitcoin early on. Coulda woulda shoulda
Can we appreciate the muscle cars of 1969. Almost every muscle car that year looked bad ass. The Camaro, Mustang, Charger, GTO, etc. one of the best years ever for cars in my opinion.Bought a chrome colored '69 Dodge Charger in'72 when I was in the USAF.
Ran like mofo, 440, about 9 mpg back right as gas was getting to a buck a gallon.

My grandpa was a Buick guy. Back in the 70s he had about 5 of the original Riviera's from 63 - 65. Those were sweet. He also had a 1972 that was his main transportation. He gave me my first car which was a 1960 Wildcat.
Now we’re talking! Showing some MOPAR love.![]()

The 383 is super stoutwell if it was a 426 and or 440 I woulda said sumthing!!! Haha. It was just a 383 auto on the floor, black buckets. Great car...woulda should coulda kept it
I had a 72 Ford Gran Torino Sport. Got it in high school and drove it all through college. Loved that car. It was terrible in snow, but that did not stop me from driving it everywhere in the winter. My friends and I always took it on ski trips to my aunt's house in Denver and to Steamboat Springs (Rabbit Ears Motel). Never got stuck. I don't know how. AWD and 4-wheel drive were not common in the seventies. We never chained up either. I did have studded tires. One time when driving back to Lincoln after a quick trip to my aunt's in Denver (we always drove from her place up to ski Breck) four of us got caught in a bad snowstorm in Eastern Colorado. It was dark and it was just too hard to make out the road. So we ducked out of the wind and snow by parking right next to a closed gas station in a beat-up small town with no services. We weren't there an hour when a snowplow heading east went by. We followed that plow until the storm petered out. I now notice signs posted in the same area stating no snowplows from 7pm to 7 am. Glad there was one that night. How did we ever go on trips all over the countryside back then with no cell phones, no debit cards, no AWD, no Apple CarPlay????Buick, known for many years as a geezer car, was on fire back in the 60's and 70's, high powered and marvelous to look at.

It seems like I'm on the struggle bus. I'm not sure what is the best photo site to do this on & can't remember how exactly to do it. I tried a couple of ways & I kept getting a message that it wouldn't post.Lars72, if you figure out the picture thing, would like to see the smile on your dad's face. Many fond memories of the drag strip in Kearney.
My older brother had a sweet red cherry '64 GTO with a 400 and he was in Vietnam. Without my brother in Nam knowing it, my next older brother managed to get it started, took it to the Kearney drags, put a belt around his foot on the pedal so he could pop the clutch. Had 2 real fast times early, then on the 3rd run blew the clutch and other shit.Lars72, if you figure out the picture thing, would like to see the smile on your dad's face.
