I know the car will be picked apart. I wonder how real this car is. Lots of wrong stuff. So here is what I see on a quick look. 4 speed automatic?, Sport mirrors wrong, has pointy lens dash, big block AC pulley, shifter handle is 70, and maybe the front spoiler, I thought only 70 had the center support which shows the bolt head through the center of the spoiler, 72 Buick plate on the rear bumper, LH hood grille is 72, exhaust right behind wheels, seat look to have 70 waffle material, no GS emblems on the door panels, no brake pedal pad. So given all that I wonder if it is a real 71 GSX.
Definitely has a lot going on. How in the world are you supposed to put a spare and jack in the trunk? And honestly, for 82 large, you can't put a brake pedal pad on the damn thing?
100 pics & not one of the data tag. Shame the microfische is stashed away... Would answer a lot of questions & help (most) '71 values. Would hurt some too.
I know we all can be harsh sometimes on cars but dear lord this car is so far off on so many levels I am just overwhelmed. $82k for this has to be a joke. Even if they could prove its a real GSX (I dont think they can on this basket case) Its not worth anything close to $82k.
I just now looked through the photos. Looks like a solid car, but wow…someone took a box of 70-72 parts and cannonballed them onto the car.
Imma incorporate that one, lol. At least get the grille emblem straight (prob. wrong one). I feel like we've seen/discussed this car before. That valve cover decal & the general vibe seems familiar. Maybe it is a real GSX but even if, that's top $$, if not more than even a perfectly restored 350/automatic car would fetch.
Looks like it's missing the hose to the POA valve. Think it may need more than just a charge to get the AC working

Looks like the same car is the pic Dano posted from the 80s in that thread. Notice how vertical the stripe is going into the rear spoiler. Same as this car. What are the odds?
Any body catch the torsion rod setting for the rear decklid? Not the right setting for a wing car. Looks fishy to me
I was wondering the same. Odds are decent given the # of '71's. How many Cortez Gold/black bucket/auto/console 350 cars could there have been? I do know for sure the car I posted had the grille painted black. It was OE colors one year & black the next. That was prob. '87-88 (ish) & back when '71 grills were unobtainable so was a bit dismayed he'd do that. We didn't know nearly as much back then but talked to the owner a good bit & there was no doubt in mine or the owner's mind that it was real.
