    "Estimate
    $40,000 - $60,000"

    If he gets the estimate above, it may be the world record.

    That's only the second 73 GS 4 speed I've ever seen.

    it's certainly not a 100% restoration. it has headers on it. wish there were better pictures of the buckets. I think the plastic trim is missing all the way around the buckets. tail light strips are suppose to be chrome not black.
