These Pictures aren't the best, but realize they were taken from a train moving @ 60 mph !!! Im personally amazed I even got the shot OK.....Ready ?? Now, It looks Real rough......but its got hood scoops and that folding middle top :eek2: So....If its Legit, what would the #'s be as to how many were made ?? If I remember correctly, If its a Stage1, Its 1 of 3 :jd:
A '72 with X paint and a Suncoupe. Is that possible? I remember reading somewhere that GS Suncoupe was possible in '72 but a GSX Suncoupe?
Im not thinking its an "X" but with the GS hood that would be a nice find if its a real GS SunCoupe. Now I just have to figure out where the heck it is relative to streets and the train trax Anyone know production #'s on 72 GS SunCoupes ???
I don't know the actual production numbers. But in the December Issue of Hemmings Muscle Machies page 114, someone bid for $ 25,000 for a numbers matching 72 Stage 1 sun Coupe. I hope this helps. Richard
Very cool Alan, keep us posted on how your hunt goes! Was it abandoned in the back of a field somewhere or is this up next to a house that is right on the tracks? I guess I need to buy a train ticket and do some hunting huh? :Brow:
Cool find, Alan. Bring a GPS with you next time and set a way point as you pass the car. Now you'll know where it is within a few feet! From there just drive in the car until you're at those coordinates... Sounds like a fun hunt. I've even got a handheld GPS if you want to borrow it!
Wow Ken, you're all over this game huh? It's nice to hear some expert advice like that some times. I would have never thought of that... that's a darn good idea...:Smarty:
Hey Alan was it hidden away behind Mooney's house?:laugh: Now the trick is jumping off the train at 60 mph next time you pass by it.:Brow: let us know how you made out. Rick Martinez
Actually its not too far from MoonMan maybe 6 or 7 miles - Its about 2 miles east of the Jamaca train station on the LIRR. Its in someones' backyard. Rick - you still have your badge ?? :Brow: Good Idea with the GPS but I've got it nailed within a few block radius so If I go hunting It wouldn't take long.
Alan, If you can narrow down the area I would be willing to take a road trip with you, maybe we can grab Larry or one or two guys from the area. Seriously, give me a call if you want to take the road trip. Heck if the area isn't good we can always trade Yardley for the car:grin: I have to say though, I cleaned up that shot and low and behold look what showed up hidden in the rear of the car.....:laugh: :laugh:
Its....Its....A Used car Salesman !!! Whats he saying ?? A little old lady, Church only on Sunday car !! With only 9,000 miles on it.....
