I'm in search of a correct and nicely restored Apollo White 1970 GSX. I saw what I think I am looking for that was a no sale recently at Mecum Indy. I didn't attend the auction as I don't live near there so I know nothing about the car other than it looks like what I want in the pics. I would like to see if anyone on here may be able to provide more detail about it. If so, I would like to see if anyone knew the car or has seen it what number it is, who the owner is/was and if it's still for sale? Here's a link to the car. https://www.mecum.com/lots/SC0517-282553/1970-buick-gsx/ If no one knows this car or may have something similar I am interested.

"The GSX recently underwent a no-expense-spared professional restoration completed in February 2017 by Mike Paremsky of Michael's Auto Restoration in Winter Haven, Florida, that brought the GSX back to its 1970 muscle-car glory using an exacting combination of NOS parts and original sheet metal from the GSX molded front spoiler to baffled rear wing. The matching-numbers 455 CI engine was rebuilt to Stage 1 specifications by GS Enterprises in Cuba City, Wisconsin." Let's see: No radio knob; No breather tube; Radiator cover decals mia; GSX grille emblem is a complete mess; Alternator fan, brace and pulley not even close; Brake pedal pad is a cheap repro not close to the factory; Old faded plastic window cranks still there; Incorrect foam seals; Last time I checked Kleiner was sending engines out; and so forth Now you can correct anything but seeing some things like this makes you want to take a close look in person.
Not the one Looking for this: https://www.mecum.com/lots/SC0517-282553/1970-buick-gsx/ 1 of 187 produced in Apollo White Two time Buick Nationals winner Sold new at Speight Buick, Inc. in Hollywood, California Restored by marque expert Dave Kleiner Wayne Roberts GS Historical Society paperwork Original Protect-O-Plate Window sticker 455 CI V-8 engine Evaporative emission system Turbo Hydra-Matic transmission F41 suspension Variable ratio power steering Power disc brakes Front and rear spoilers Hood tachometer Bucket seats and center console Factory air conditioning AM radio with 8-track player Factory Soft Ray tinted glass Convenience group Chrome 5-spoke wheels Goodyear Polyglas tires Sold new at Speight Buick, Inc., in Hollywood, California, this two-time Buick Nationals winner is one of just 187 Buick GSX coupes finished in shining Apollo White paint, one of only two colors available in this ground-pounding, limited-production Buick muscle machine. General Motors’ intermediate A-body models were reaching full potency by 1970, the result of the corporate decision to let the displacement genie out of the bottle and allow more than 400 CI in its mid-sized offerings. It would be the final chapter in a story that began when Pontiac dropped its powerful 389 CI V-8 into the 1964 Tempest to create the GTO. The Chevelle SS, Oldsmobile 442 and Buick GS all went on muscle-building programs, but the GS, lacking the bold image of the others, became the perennial wallflower: until 1970, that is. That’s when the suits at Flint finally got their act together and unleashed an attractively restyled GS sporting a brand-new 455 CI big-block V-8 rated at 350 HP and a monstrous 510 lb-ft of torque. More than just raw power, the new GS enjoyed handsome new styling that was at its best in the optional GSX that completely shook off Buick’s sedate image. Available only in Apollo White and Saturn Yellow, the $1,200 GSX package included a heavy-duty manual or automatic transmission, Positraction, F41 Rally Ride Control suspension, front and rear spoilers, contrasting body accent graphics, larger Goodyear Polyglas tires, a matte-black hood-mounted tach and bucket seats. This 1970 Buick GSX was restored by noted marque expert Dave Kleiner to its present award-winning condition. This Buick is well-equipped with its Turbo Hydra-Matic transmission, variable-ratio power steering, power front disc brakes, factory air conditioning, Soft Ray-tinted glass, center console, convenience group and AM radio with an 8-track player. Documentation includes Wayne Roberts GS Historical Society paperwork, window sticker and the original Protect-O-Plate.
