Nice GS I've always like the red with black vinyl top combination. I would be surprised if Chris P. doesn't know this car. Bob H.

I have seen it for sale several times through the years, but I haven't seen it in person and don't know the owner.
I wonder if this was originally a 350 car. I can't clearly see the fender emblem under the GS but looks like a Buick motor division emblem.
Wonder what happened to the passenger sport mirror? Those usually come in pairs don't they?... seems strange to see just one.
Not the right shifter boot, so in addition to checking if an orig. 455, I'd be checking to make sure an orig. 4-sp. too. Hopefully there's some matching #'s &/or docs.
I do know the owner, while he was doing background checks, there was a hint of this being a Stage car. Not sure if he ever verified that or not. I do know that the car has never been outside Eastern Washington, ( the DRY side ) and was purchased new in WallaWalla, WA.
The build sheet at least shows it's a real 455 4-sp. - Quite valuable piece of paper there. Stage 1 (or not) is in there somewhere too, but I didn't look that closely. Interesting option load - rare Stereo tape player, block heater, HD air cleaner.
