1970 Buick Skylark GS Stage 1 review from North America
"The BEST car ever built!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head gaskets started leaking at 130,000.
Alternator and starter went out within a week after that.
General comments?
250,000+ miles and will still run 13.6 quarters... STOCK!
My first car and I still have it. The engine is finally getting tired and the rear main is starting to go. The GS is still a total blast to drive and I will drive it anywhere. I only wish anybody could build a car half as reliable as this Stage 1.
