Amongst the wide range of Buick cars built in this period there were some muscle cars for the enthusiast. These were the cars that added glamour to the Buick name. From being front-runners in the late 1960s emissions controls and tightening safety regulations gradually emasculated these cars in the early 1970s. The oil crisis of 1973-4 finally killed off the muscle car genre altogether. This book is a compilation of road and comparison tests, driving impressions, model introductions and performance data. Models covered are:- Skylark Special, Wildcat, Electra 225, Super Wildcat, LeSabre 400 Sport CoupT, Skylark Gran Sport, Riviera Gran Sport, GS400, California GS, GS430, Stage 1 GS400, GS455, GS455 Stage 1, GS350, GSX455, GSX455 Stage 1, Centurion, Century Regal.

This review is from: Buick Muscle Cars 1963-1973 (Paperback)

This is a good book, a lot of good info, you will enjoy it. It has a bunch of the old road tests that were done on the cars from those days by Motor trend and Road & Track and others, it has a bunch of spec's on each car and some great old photo's. The only thing wrong is it's all in back & white but it's still a good read and some great photo's.
