Well just got back from a long trip with my 5 year old boy to the East coast to look at a 70 Yellow GSX. I have been working on this deal for 10 months and was well worth the wait. After a 3 hour drive and nasty weather we arrived. I Was plesently suprised on how detailed the car is. Every nut & bolt is new. Only flaw I could find is the clock is not working, other than that is it mint. This car is one of the finest examples I have ever seen of any car. Could not peel out the cash fast enough and give it to the owner! Sold! At any rate I have finally found the GSX I have been wanting since I was a Kid. The transport showed up 30 minutes after the $ hit the sellers bank, it was a perfect car deal. Chris P is going to re-size some pics and post them for me. Dennis :beer :grin: :TU: :TU:
Alll RIGHTTTT!!!!! WE KNEW THAT YOU WOULD GET ONE! Get them pics so we all can enjoy in on your deal. Congrats,Pat
You stole that from Pa.??? Wow that is really a sharp car.I am really jealous now.Gotta love that A/C Pat
Shipping is about 2500 to Anchorage, I pick it up from there with my Trailer. From what I gather talking to past owners the motor was built to stage specs. Auto, tilt, AC. I sent the vin to Wayne roberts to get documentation. Yes, this is the car restored by R&R owned by Alan Mcham as discussed in the other thread in cars wanted. Have not had any success contacting Alan, does anyone know how to contact him? I would really like to know what is in the motor, cam, heads, compression, etc. Dennis
undercar ??? I thought the "correct" look was body color painted underside??? Duane? Anybody? BEAUTIFUL CAR!!! Nice catch....PA huh! - Bill :TU:
Re: undercar Nope... Satin black with body color overspray. Typically the heaviest on the corners of the floor pan. I would not call the floor paint semi-gloss black, but I know some guys go that way.. we mix our own gloss level in the cars we do in the shop, and it is not quite that shiny. Picture someone painting the body with no frame, and bending down to paint the rocker panels, and you will get a good visual image of what the floor pans would look like, if we could step back to 1970 and lay on the ground in the dealership lot. To re-create this in a frame off, that is exactly how we do it. But nice "X" none the less.. Congrats! JW
If you bought a new (now NOS) set of quarters, would the black on those panels basically represent the color you are trying to match when mixing your paint? I guess msot of the sheet metal that GM makes has that thin coat of black paint on it to keep it from rusting...
The camera was set on Alaska time that would =10:57 am. But would not be out of the question to hunt a Buick down at 5:57am....right guys!
