predictions? new listing http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1970...1775304?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item23138ba948
GSX or not,car is rough,alot of metal work needed,NOM,......realistic number,12-15k tops IMO,big money into resto.
Wonder why he did'nt list it here first with a fixed price like alot of other members do for their community of buick people ??????? When I sell off my buicks ,that is what I intend to do,starting with my 70 stage1 that i have decided to part with,stay tuned......
Aint this one of the Texarkana cars from a few years back think it sold for 40K and went to Canada .Looks like someone abandon the project .
Yes, this is one of my cars,no it is not one of the Arkansas GSX's Contact me to discuss if you are interested. Thanks
Rich, Can you give us the story behind the car?? Where it came from etc.. It looks pretty interesting.
Looks like someone used a can opener on the pass side door near the lock. Probably years of "No it's not for sale. I'm going to restore it someday"?
This GSX spent most of it's life in New York State and Alabama, window parking stickers on bumper and windshield prove it was in both states for a long time. The car was never hot rodded, just driven, used as a regular car. Yes, the side door lock access is a nice feature, probably done back in 1984 when it was just an old car:3gears:
I'd throw a good built drivetrain in that old boy and race it just like that...Wish I had the coin to buy it. Surely would make alot of conversations at the track...lol That would be a perfect back half example...
Rich, any way I could get you to email me the 1st pic pointing to the right in the driveway so I could use it as my desktop background??? My email is pdharmon@tds.net
I'd like it as a street car just like that; especially for the conversations... It looks tough as nails just like that.
Here is where the information from the GSX Registry says it was sold new: Dealer # 03 229 = THE READING AUTOMOBILE COMPANY, INC., 1411 N. FIFTH STREET, READING PA 19603
Is that right on the gears, I thought the sticks came with 3.64 gears not 3.42's ??? Rough car, but worth fixing if you have alot of cash (I don't).
I recall Dennis Manner told us they limited the rear ratio to 3.42 based on the presence of AC. They found that winding up the RPMs tended to damage the compressor. We owned a 70 GS 455 convert with AC and a 4 speed. It had a 3.42 rear ratio. If you look at the last sheet on Wayne's decode this GSX was designated as a "demonstrator". It must have happened before but I just do not recall seeing one.
David, standard gear ratio for 1970 GSX was 3.42 posi auto or 4 speed. In a regular GS 455 car 2.93 open axle was standard with Automatic, AC or non AC and 3 and 4 speed regular GS 455 cars received 3.42 open axle as standard equipment. In both cases with regular GS 455 auto /stick a posi was never standard, it had to be ordered. Only non AC Stage 1 GS's and GSX's in 1970 received 3.64 posi axle ,all AC ordered Stage 1 GS's and GSX's recieved 3.42 posi axle. Jim Lore Thanks for dealer info WR's doc's showed dealer info was unavailable. Thanks Rich
