White GSX Stage 1 4-speed, be interesting to see how it does. Pics look pretty good.

 

Wow, nice looking white GSX with no description is it numbers matching.

 

They should mention “numbers” aspect for sure.... guess we’ll just have to watch the auction. It looks unrestored, but what’s up with that shifter boot /ring set up? That ain’t stock ..... And I’ve seen those “between the seats” consoles before, but never in an X.

 

This car looks familiar it was for sale about a year ago or so I remember from the guy being behind the wheel far as a shifter boot that's aftermarket Mr. gasket the original probably deteriorated.

 

The consolette and Shorty console were both options. For the GSX an GS.

 

My 70 GSX sold there in 2016 for $130,000 and was non matching non stage 4 speed. The engine did get the stage-1 treatment however. I removed the chrome rocker covers and 3.64 for the sale as close to original as possible. Engine had all correct part numbers and Muncie was correct but from another car. Only rear end was original 3.42 I put back. It sold there again last year for the exact same price again!

 

Is the mileage mentioned anywhere? That would be a cool car to own if it’s low miles and all original like yours, Tom.

 

That is a 72 push button shorty console.

 

That car belongs to a guy in NJ. Exceptional car. He just loaded that and 3 others from his collection,to head to the auction.

 

That same car is currently on eBay right now for $188k. They installed a center cap on the drivers back wheel, added a new radiator overflow tank, and added an incorrect “caution fan” decal on the fan shroud, but otherwise the same. Easy to know it's the same car by the incorrect shifter boot.

Lenny’s GSX is # 199
Are there two white ones listed?

 

maybe a special order, like that 72 console between the seats? ....

 

3:73 is a 12 bolt rear. Had to be swapped at one time.MHO

 

A GSX Wayne Roberts report would answer a lot of questions. Late built 70 GS's did you get the push button Shorty console.

 

It could have a Buick special order 390 gear rear which would be extremely rare.

 

There's two white 70 GSX's for sale one is an automatic I believe that's the car from North Jersey Nick Serwo just rebuilt the engine it was restored by Thorton the other is this four-speed from Gateway which has been sale for over a year started out at 214 K. If it's presented as original and numbers matching it could bring a good number but not 188K.

 

This one's been for sale for years; always too much; always too many questions.

 

For that kind of money it should be darned near perfect. Turn key trophy winner.
