    If its a non numbers car, the only way your really going to know if its a real Stage 1 is with the Wayne Roberts info.

    one thing I'm sure about is the the master cylinder with no hold off valve ?? would that be power drums

    Discs became mandatory in 71, so you could still get a Stage 1 in 70 with power drums. My car has drums

    I doubt the seller knows anything about the car. Much less what numbers are supposed to be where. Looks like its a used car dealer

    btw...Is it me or are the mufflers mounted forward by the transmission? :confused:

    he advertises private party so he is a broker just like barret Jackson he only knows what the seller tells him A good way to sell a FAKE, I see the headers but that's all I can see,, and the ds inner well doesn't look correct

    Even if it is a fake Stage 1, that car is beautiful! I really dig the red with white top and interior, sexy and classy!

    I posted this in a way with the thoughts of a classic car broker playing the I don't know card to increase the value , what would be the difference between a a gs 455 4 speed / stage 1 gs 455 4 speed IMO 20 to 25 thousand dollars

    How much does the ultra-rare optional leather interior add to the value?

    The bottom line is that the car will stand on its own merits. It certainly could be one of 664 or not. By the same token, it could of been an automatic originally right? Or a Skylark with a set of tags. You don't know till you look at it.

    I could probably rattle off 20 things off the top of my head that are wrong or incorrect about it just from the pictures. No headrests on the seats so they're possibly pre-69. Does that mean the car came with a bench from the factory and someone added the buckets and consolette? Are all the options the options the car has the options the car was "born with""? Who knows. Anyone who drops that kind of coin without the WR docs and a complete and thorough inspection, deserves what he gets

    Regardless of what it is, it looks like a really nice car overall

    (and the left side wheel well is the correct 70-71 style)

    anyone spot the driveshaft loop, "drag racing with slicks"

    joe nice to put some eyes on it,,the motor looks fresh with headers maybe some racing history with a loop

    The Sloan museum should have the build information for this GS - 446370H150443

    There is still time to get the VIN authenticated for potential buyers...
