He's supposed to send me pics of the rot & documentation. I'm just starting to look around after selling all my GS's in the throws of the receession & I thought about it for the right price. I do like it but unfortunately, don't have the time or desire for a project of that magnitude and I think he wants too much for it to hunt down all the correct parts & farm out what it needs/deserves. Funny how now that I have all the tools & knowledge I don't have the time or patience. It's an unusual car & certainly worthy of a full resto, but I think @ $25k (before your best deal) you'd be hard pressed to make it work & not be pretty upside down in the end even if you can & did all the work yourself & assuming that your time is worth something unless you just really love THAT car or the market for GS's, even 70 Stage 1's continues to climb. Just my 2 cents.
When you get the pictures ask him to include a picture of the dashboard vin tag. If it is my old Stage 1 it will be 444 not 446.
It's a factory mistake but that is the problem with the car. When I sold it all the stage 1 stuff was with the car and it was all #'s matching but the vin# was 444 and the title was 446 and the documentation from Wayne Roberts proved the car. I was the third owner bought the car directly from the original owners daughter. Car had been wrecked early on hence the wrong fan shroud. I knew about the vin# problem when i bought it but after researching and talking with my local NC DMV officer I decided to sell the car. I could have never gotten it registered in North Carolina without DMV installing a new vin tag.
