I am looking for a nice GS455 vert for around 30k. I would like for it to have a/c and be in good condition. I am looking at a couple of different cars on the web but I figured I would check one more time here. Thank You.
If you don't find a good one ready to drive, we have a 72 that's disassembled needing restoration that may be for sale this summer. The rolling chassis, engine, and transmission are all finished, but the body is totally apart. The car actually came from Colorado around 1990. We're located in N.E. Wyoming.
I know of a 70 convertible, red/white/white, mid 30's firm, driver quality. Email me if you interested and you can move up to that price range.
We also have a 72 Stage 1 conv. in good condition that may possibly come up for sale this summer. It would be within that price range.
Not mine but it is within driving distance for me to look at if you are interested. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...STRK:MEWA:IT&viewitem=&item=150244958131&rd=1
Thanks everyone for the leads, but I just bought John Allans 1970 GS455 convertible from ShowroomClassics.com. The question now is what route should I take to drive it to Denver from San Jose?
Shamgar Congrats on your purchase. Please post the factory color combo and option load of your new GS. Pics too Thanks Rich
Unless you just want to enjoy the drive. We can hook you up with a Very Very reasonable shipper. And Congrats on that Gulfstream beauty :kodak: DL
Thank you, I am definately looking forward to the drive and I was just wondering if anyone had any cool ideas about what route to take. I have 4 days planned to get it to Denver.
That will depend on just how far off the beaten path you wish to go. You could travel some of the old Route 66, although I'm told that parts of it are in rough shape. I'm going to assume that you know something of Colorado highways, so one suggestion is US89 from Flagstaff as far north as you wish to go. There is some spectacular scenery there. When I was just a young teenger, we drove US 160 in southern CO. Unfortunately, a piston in the dad's 62 Olds Super 88 decided to expire at Wolf Creek Pass, elev. 10,850 ft. Fortunately, the other 7 pistons easily picked up the slack. I remember it was very beautiful along that road. Then there's the Grand Canyon area, very spectacular as well. One thing you probably already know, is the weather is subject to rapid changes, especially in the higher elevations. I was recently in Phoenix AZ, elev 1072 ft, where the temperature was in the mid 80's around 6:00 PM. By the time I got to Flagstaff, 135 miles north, and at 6910 ft elev, it was close to freezing.:eek2: Another possibility is to check out Google maps, or Mapquest maps and look at the satellite images for potential routes. Have fun, and I'm a little jealous.:TU:
