On “My Car Story” we're in Rosemont IL at the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals on 11-18-22.
We’re looking at a 1972 Buick GSX in Fire Red Paint. The car comes with a 455 CI V8 “Stage 1” engine with a 4 Speed manual transmission.
The car's Owner is Mike Sobotka. Adam Martin did the restoration on this car. Mike’s had this car since 2007. Mike shares he bought a Buick about 16 years ago and had the opportunity to buy this rare Buick and took that opportunity. There were only two GSX Stage 1 4 Speed cars built in 1972

Thanks, Lou, for showcasing Mike's 72 GSX and allowing me to join in on the video!
Hi Adam @ Antique Automotive Service, My pleasure sharing, and thank you for commenting on your work. Lou
This Buick really is the best of both worlds. Plenty of power while you cruise in comfort.. I think Adam is going to get even busier after this video. Thanks, Lou!
Hi TheGunfighter45acp, Power & Comfort...NICE! You're welcome, Lou
Lou, this car is astounding. In a sense it is invaluable. The '72 is the last of the gorgeous GM A-Bodies. The Beauty AND the Beast!
Audie, High praise :-) My pleasure sharing this "Beauty & Beast" with you, Lou
Now that's a badass Buick brother, this is when Buicks we're real and truly American made.
Hi CJ Colvin, As Bad as Buick gets.....just the way we like it! Lou
I can watch that gorgeous machine all day long without getting bored.

I was at this show and never saw such a collection of Buick GS models, both 1967 and 1972. I thought that I had died and gone to heaven!
Hi Dave, MCACN is quite the event! My pleasure being able to share cars from that show, Lou
A red, GSX Stage 1 4-speed. Speechless...
"Speechless" Well said :-)

Hi John, High praise :-) You're welcome, Lou
BUICK......power and luxury aka "luxury/sport". A rare gem. GREAT car.
Hi Mike, Happy to read you like this "rare gem" :-) Lou
Lou,
Must be fun as hell meeting nice guys like Mike. I didn’t even know they made a GSX in 72 with the new emission standards. Buick must have snuck those two out the door. What a car! Thx Lou.
David, Cool Buick for sure :-) You're welcome, Lou
Great looking Stage 1 GSX ! Fantastoc color and a 4 speed to boot ! WOW ! Thanks for posting Lou !
Hi Rudy, Happy to receive a "WOW!" from you :-) You're welcome, Lou
WoW! Love the ‘72. I’ve got that car as a diecast model. Doesn’t hold a candle to the real deal. That car sounds quite healthy.
Happy to read you have a die cast of this car :-) NICE!
A really first class restoration by Adam of this super rare Buick. ❤
Agreed.
A Fire Red car with an extinguisher behind the left tire. You clever guys you! Very nice car.
Thank you for sharing what you notice :-)
When I was 23 in 1968, I purchased my first new car. It was a 1968 Buick GS400 Convertable. Red/White top and interior. Chrome wheels. I was 23 and in 7th Heaven !
Hi fob1xxl , Happy to read your 1st new car was a cool one :-) Nice! Lou
A timeless beauty. I always thought the Buick GM "A" body cars were the best looking of the "A" bodies. Thanks for posting Lou! Be blessed always.
Hi Gerry, Happy to share this "timeless beauty" with you :-) Blessings received. God bless you. You're welcome, Lou
Kudos to Adam for the restoration on Mike's beauty. As a youngster, I was convinced at the performance of the Stage 1s after one beat the HEMI GTX back in the '87 match race. Thanks Lou!
Hi Brian SD, Thank you for sharing the "87 match race" results. You're welcome, Lou
My oldest brother had a 72 GS ( 350 ) with bench seat and 4 speed, it was painted a real nice dark metallic brown with a buckskin type color interior. Man, I loved that car! I would volunteer to wash and detail it for him just so I could be near it.
Even though it only had the 350 it ran great. It would bark the tires in 3rd gear. It was all original and had the factory pieces on it. I always really like the induction system on the GS's.
I so wanted that car but he sold it to his brother in law. It still pisses me of to this day when I think about him selling it to someone else. That was back in mid 80s too.
Thats only red GSX I have ever seen and i have looked a lot of GS and GSXs over the years. I have a soft spot for them

Another great car, and another great story! When someone passionate meets someone knowledgeable, great things happen.
Happy to read you enjoy this car and story :-) My pleasure sharing with you.
What a beauty. Outside of oddballs like the L-88 the 455 in all it’s incarnations is my favorite GM big block. B-O-P.
Hi Leave the herd, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) Lou
Cool torque monster..... love the hood mounted tac, placed right where you can see it without taking your eyes off the road. And it sounds terrific.
Happy to read you enjoy this "Cool torque Monster" :-)
Speachless..will hug tire and try not to let go
Nice !
Beautiful rare car! ❤
Just the way we like it :-)
Baddest Buick ever made! They were very fast and had some luxury. A hell of a lot more car than the later regal based 6 pop turbos. Right color, right amount of pedals, I am a Pontiac guy, but I would take that one home!
Happy to share this Bad Buick with you :-)
'My Car Story' knocks it out of the park again. You're the man Lou. 🚙🔥🔥🔥
Home run ! Thank you bryantcurtis :-)

Absolutely stunning
High praise :-)
My co worker just showed me a pic of his 78 year old neighbors' car. From a distance it's this exact colour with the GSX stickers and stripe but has a white vinyl roof. The neighbor keeps to himself but it's his wife's car and she passed a few years ago.
Hi ModernMuscleCar, Sounds like a great car, Lou
Send me your email address if you wouldn't mind.
"That is how we do it!" Absolutley big bro Lou! This super red Buick is super hot, man. Could get me doing "GSX kicks for the chicks" (my stocking feet up and twitching) EASILY!!!! What a super rare car and a treat to watch. Thanks big brother, :) JV Johnny
Hi JV Johnny, Happy to read you enjoy this "super hot" Buick :-) My pleasure sharing this rare car with you. You're welcome, Lou
You know Mr. Lou ?? You are an excellent presenter......
Thank you Iraq Kingdom.
En verdad que se hizo un espectacular trabajo de restauración con este Buick GSX 1972! El color rojo fuego, junto a esa línea negro mate que recorre su carrocería para juntarse suavemente con el alerón trasero, lo hacen ver muy llamativo! Me gustó, además, la franja de adorno en madera de las puertas, típico de los 70, junto con su muy cuidado interior en negro. ¡Mención especial para el poderoso rugido de su motor V8! ¡Excelente video Lou, y saludos!
Hi Jaime, Happy to read you enjoy the details of this Buick. My pleasure sharing this one with you, Lou
Beautiful GSX. Thanks for sharing Lou.
My pleasure sharing this one with you :-) You're welcome Bill.
Definitely one of my dream cars!
Happy to read this is a "dream car" for you :-)
@@loucostabile back in the late 1980’s I was delivering auto parts and a guy at the warehouse had one of these in yellow with the black stripes, convertible, hood tach and all. That’s when I fell in love with the GSX. Some of the most impressive cars to me have been Buicks for some reason. My dad had an early 70’s Electra, a neighbor had a ‘65 Wildcat convertible and my uncle had a brand new T-Type Regal in 1984. Now, if I could afford it, a ‘70 GSX, ‘71 Riv boat tail or a ‘65 Riv would be in my garage.
Great Buick Lou
Happy to share this one with you acts2210 :-)
Wow, DREAM CAR!!
Hi Keith, Happy to read you enjoy this "DREAM CAR!!" :-) Lou

A super good looking car!!!
Hi Greg, Happy to read "super good looking car!!!" :-) Lou
I noticed that every single Buick GS, or GSX video is ALWAYS in an indoor venue! I've yet to see you go for a ride in one! Especially with one equipped with a 4-speed! Beautiful car though!
Hi Michael, Thank you for viewing and sharing. Here is one outside for you to enjoy, Lou ruclips.net/video/JgZJ0GVDYs8/видео.html
Here is one more GSX ride :-) ruclips.net/video/44VJsejO1Zg/видео.html

Brian, You're welcome. I'll do my best to keep them coming. Lou
Beautiful car! 😍😍😍😍😍 Wonderful! Thanks Lou!

Hi Philip, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) Lou
One bad buick
Just the way we like it :-)
Another beautiful car Lou. Always liked the looks of the 1970 to 1972 GSX I have only seen a few of them over the years. My Uncle used to race alot in the 1960s and 1970s and he said that those 455 cars were hard to keep up with. (He drove a 69 Dodge Charger R/T 440 4 speed.
Hi PlymouthDuster225, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) Glad to read this car brings back memories of your Uncles car conversations. Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
just GREAT ❤️
Happy to read "just GREAT" :-)
Most of the high horsepower vehicles ended in 1970. There were some muscle cars in 1971,1972,1973 and of course the 1974 Pontiac Trans Am HD 455.
Hi William, Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
Love it...........❤
Nice !
Killin' it with the muscle lately, Lou!
Nice Tony !
I loved my '72 Skylark despite it being a rust bucket
Hi Sabba_Dabba, Happy to read this car brings back memories of your car :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
yep 👍👍👍
:-)
One of two. Does it get any better than that.
You're right :-)
The exterior striping and paint work is lovely to behold. The motor and engine bay is very nice. Perhaps it's the genuine look but I'm not a fan of an all-black interior.
Hi John, Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
That's a six figure car easy ! BADASS!
:-)
Meticulous color combinations, it accentuates the aggressive character of this car.
Hi boson, Happy to read you enjoy the color combo of this car :-) I like it too, Lou
In 1970 there were 679, 1971 there were 124,, 1972 only 44 were built
Hi Timothy, Thanks for viewing and sharing your knowledge, Lou
Wow thought they only came white or yellow
Hi Fred, There are a few colors out there, however you don't see them too often, Lou
👍👍👍

I’m not sure that is the right bumper, in 1972 the exhaust came through the bumper.

That was optional in 71 and 72.
I thought all GSX's were yellow or white. What gives?
You're thinking of the 1970 GSX which were Saturn Yellow or Apollo White.
