I have had this GS since 1977, according to the vehicle sticker. I have stored it indoors since 1984 . It is now back on the road with rebuilt motor & tranny. Sloan documents and repro window sticker too. Low optioned but 4-speed with N-25 exhaust. Window sticker states,$ 4,246.45 total amount. Flame Orange with white droptop and interior. Lots of history and memories and I will keep it forever. I am going to need a "few" original parts like an AM radio. It still has the Craig AM/FM cassette that I installed in the late 1970's in as well. First time it has seen daylight for approx. 28 years !! Enjoy !! Regards, Upstaged in SW Michigan.:TU:
Wow, I wish I had the sense to hold on to a gem like that! That is a beautiful car I can't help feeling envious, good job.
Thanks to all for the compliments ! This will be my last GS endeavor but I truly enjoy driving it, when the weather is nice. I do recall surprising alot of cars back in the 1980's . GTO's, 442's and alot of Mach 1's to name a few. Plus, I know the history of the car from new. I bought it (with parents help and paper routes when I was 14 or 15 years old. Actually, a lady attorney who was on my paper route was the original owner. Any other former "paperboys" here on the board? Regrads, Upstaged in SW Michigan. I will post some pictures with this parked next to my 72 Stage 1 vert., also a 4-speed as time & weather permits.
Looks like I will need the complete ram air plastic and associated plumbing. I have an AM radio for the dash. I do have other parts for sale listed here. 2 NOS rear quarters still in the GM boxes. Never installed . More parts and prices are posted here but I will NOT ship the rear quarters. Regards, Upstaged in SW Michigan.

Spring 2014 tomm. Finally ! Once the snow melts and the roads are clear I can drive the SB GS with the top down :grin:. Regards, Upstaged in SW Michigan
I went for 30 miles today. Alot of memories and boy do I enjoy 4-speeds, big or small blocks:TU: Now that Spring is here in SW Michigan, I will post some pictures with my SB next to my Stage 1 convertible 4-speed as well. Regards, Upstaged in SW Michigan.
Went for a nice ride yesterday with the top down, of course:TU:. My Craig AM/FM cassette deck (remember those) would not play. After we got home we managed to extract a cassette that was jammed in the player. One side was Dire Straits and the other was Roxy Musicou:. At least now the AM/FM works but I only listen to it either at idle or very slow speed. Man I love my 4-speed drop top. Regards, Upstaged in SW Michigan.
Yes. The NOS still in their boxes , rear GM quarters are still available. They are for hardtops, my NOS convertible 1/4's are for this car and are not for sale. As we discussed, I will not ship the 1/4's. Pickup only. Regards, Upstaged in SW Michigan.
