Help identify 1971 Buick Gsx

I need help identifying a Buick Gsx. I've uploaded aome pictures for you all to see. The car is being represented as a 1971 Gsx.

Thank you,
Jesse

 

Any paper documentation of any kind?

 

Not at this time. I do have a picture of the vin and cowl tag.

 

No paperwork and does not have a low body number. Red flag right from the start. Buyer beware.

The trim tag is difficult to read, what is the paint code?

 

Its hard to read for sure. Looks like 13b

 

There is some good info here, especially from Duane on page 2 of this thread:

Thank you.

 

Do we knownif its a stage 1?

 

I believe this car was posted on the GS owners Facebook page earlier today? If so, it’s a clone based on your pictures. ‘72 grille, Saturn yellow (not a 71 color), wrong stripes, etc. looked like a decent project car

 

It has a high body # on firewall body tag should have a low #.

That is first red flag, so probably not a GSX.

 

vin doesn’t tell you if it’s a stage 1 in ‘70 or ‘71. Only one VIN for all GS (350, 455, stage 1) in ‘71.

 

At this point looks like a need a build sheet to verify if its anything below a stage 1. Thank you all !

 

If it has a TS code block, or BB/OW trans with the numbers vin on either you can authenticate it as a stage 1.

And yes, i forgot to mention that this car was in the gs owners page for sale this morning

 

How much is he asking? I saw it was best offer. In my opinion you would be buying a GS project. The body seemed solid, but I didn’t really look at the pictures in detail. $4-4500 project at absolute best.

 

I can't find it there, could you post a direct link please?

He removed the post. He stated that he has an offer for 6k and another for 10k

 

And do you remember the name of the seller on Facebook?
