    Good looking car. More / better pictures should be posted IMO.

    I asked for a pic of the trim tag.

    the SCO is for the special reversed emblems and white letter tires:

    Funny! Obviously a photographic error. They look correct in another picture

    Do they still make Turbo Tech tires? I thought they were an 80's-90's thing.

    To answer wovenweb's question .. I, unfortunately was unable to attend that auction.. My friend Pat did! The 71 GS convert. did very poorly . A no sale at about 30k (if I remember correctly ) It was not a nice car.. On the other hand the 1970 GSX sold for 70K ! It was a nice car, It certainly would have been in my collection at that price..

    I saw that... Could be:).

    I doubt it's an SCO (haven't heard from seller on tag). Not that this would necessarily be the case, but the ones I've seen were all well optioned.

    Would it be possible to hear mor about the 71 from Pat? Like what was wrong with it? Was the paint nice?

    Seeing that color of paint made me hungry for a hot dog, with mustard. :)

    Oh heck ya! Then I have a SCO too. I was cleaning up my trailer hitch so I could repaint it. Look what I found 4D2D5986-8A53-4637-A950-B4B50CFCB81A.jpeg

    The interior color also looks more like sandalwood than pearl, but hard to distinguish in photos.
