    So thats what yours looks like :TU: A friend of mine was just suggesting to me that a "turbine" style wheels would look good on my 73'. It looks great on yours! I pulled my rallys (245/60-15) recently to try these Crager SST's with 225/70 fronts and 275/60 rears. Its a different look.

    Wait a minute...so the steering wheel is on the right side but the brake booster/master cylinder are still on the left?

    How does that work? :Do No:

    Lennard don't feel to bad about posting pics of your 75 I had as much work as you fixing my 73 including a trip to the USA to bring back a rear half to weld on. I also copped a speeding fine in Montana while over there the only time the state trooper smiled after I handed him the cash

    i know i dont have to wurry
    every car that has been restored has been in this stadium.
    Well my car is original from the Netherlands ( where i live ) and here the weather isn's so good so cars rust here quite often. But i've seen cars i worse shape.

    anyway your car looks real good how long did it take you to get it in that condition ? and there getting quitte rare now. don't see them much on ebay.

    Greetings Lennard

    It had taken about 2-3 years to complete. Finding body parts is impossible in Australia for them & if its not a GM or Ford V8 engine parts are not as easy to come by & more expensive.
    On the weather scene the only time I've encounted snow is in the USA. I have to travel for hours in the winter to see snow from were I live

    Hey Philip,
    I just got a 1974 numbers matching (except for the rear end, it's missing) stage 1 GS. It is really, really rough. Any thought on it's value? It will need a rear clip, frame and every known interior part. It is green with a white top and white bucket seat/console shift interior. 1/2 of the windshield V.I.N # is rusted off. It's looking like a 30K resto to me. Will these cars ever bring that much $ ? :Do No:

    My own fault he informed me that he clocked my speed at 98mph in a 75mph. The thing that amazed me was that I had to pay CASH of $75 as I was from outside the USA. I offered a freindly Aussie handshake then when that didn't work I asked if I could pay creditcard or travellers cheques but he insisted cash or I might have a back seat ride back to the station which convinced me that cash speaks his language.

    Hey I stayed 2 nights in Missoula I found it a top place there was a car yard I think the name was Credit Auto Sales East that had a low milage 87 GNX for $50,000 US a bit overpriced but a nice car in fact the owner gave us lunch top bloke because he was amazed at our accents & at first could not understand us but one of his salesmen told us Aussies own the horse & western gear shop there . Also stopped at Deer lodge at the jail & car museum before turning of to West Yellowstone. Besides the fine for speeding I found Montana a very picturesque state & a place I would like to see again one day

    had i known you were going to be here, i could have shown you several local wrecking yards with parts for almost any car you have. one of the perks of being a local :grin: .
    credit auto sales is one of many car lots that you can find here in the states that sells cars based on your pay day. they dont require credit checks like a bank, so anyone can buy a car from them. but they usually buy their cars from auction for very little, invest as little as possible to make the cars run and look presentable, and then sell these cars to unsuspecting people with a very high interest rate. basically they are a rip-off and you were better off not buying from them.
    did you get to tour yellowstone park? one of the most beautiful places on earth. and that in a state that has a lot of beautiful places

    Got any pics of it??? Would you be interested in sharing some info so I can register it in my 73-75 GS Registry??There was only 478 Stage 1 GS Centurys produced in 74. I don't believe the 73-75 GS cars have hit their mark bringing big money,but soon they will in my opinion.

    Yes I stayed at the comfort inn at west yellowstone for 2 days & drove around the park looking at the hot springs & wildlife with some fools getting out of their cars trying to touch the big Elk & Bison amazing place of beauty.

    Any Parts? Thats about all it's worth Maybe some scrap value. You can't get all the parts for 30K let alone the work that must be done. :Dou:

    P.S. Sorry My other thread went thru without my last sentence. Keep the car and dig up parts (they are out there you gotta keep looking) Pat I agree the 73-75's will do well :Do No: These Century's rock. If not fot the strike in 71 you would have seen a 72 Century.Maybe even a 72 GSX? :3gears:
