Cortez Gold GS

I am about to purchase a 70 GS that is Cortez Gold and I was curious if this was a big color on this type of car.

 

After 25 views later nobody knows.

 

Please have some patience.

Some of us have the Daily Car Reports from the Sloan Museum, and these reports would contain the information you're looking for.

You can order them from Sloan directly...or you can wait until we get home from work :beer

Also, hardtop or convertible? If a hardtop, is it a GS350 ar GS455. I only have the GS455 info...

 

just purchased a cortez gold '70 stage 1. non original 455 but matching # bb trans and everything else.
and yes Marco, i will register it, waiting on docs from sloan.

 

Guy,

The car isn't coming from CO or TX is it?

 

Chris-
no, came from Wi. already at it's new home.

 

I Love it! They just keep comming out of the woodwork :TU:

 

Would love to see some pictures of your GS. The cortez gold is a very nice color in person. Congratulations on your find tell us more about it.

 

There are a couple of gold colors for that year. I have a desert gold one, but just running that by you just in case you didnt know....... Cortez is a sweet color :TU:

 

My first GS was a Cortez Gold GS350. I'd still have that car today if a 17 year old kid didn't try to drive straight across a highway without stopping(with traffic moving @50MPH). The drivetrain went into one of my '72 Skylarks and is still running around in NJ somewhere.

 

I see 3 different golds available in 1970 -

Cornet (55)
Harvest (58)
Desert (63)

No Cortez in 1970, but I see it in 1971 (53)

 

oops, should never trust memory. checked last night and it is 63-F....Desert Gold.
Sorry, Guy
Car needs total restore, one step away from being parted out...but I will save it. Non/air 3.64 p/w p/b p/s

 

Thanks for all the info.

 

Jim -

What is the cowl paint code on the car in question (and what model/year is the car)?

...and THANKS Guy :TU: :beer

 

I dont know what the cowl paint code is but the car is a 1970 GS.I havent picked up the car yet though I have seen it and its in great shape

 

Hey Guy, how's your Stage 2 coming along?

Show us some pictures! Thanks!


P.S. My Stage 1 is also code 63. I know on the production list it shows Buick only built 54(code 63) cars.

Imagine how many of those were Stage 1's?

 

Carl-
stage2 car is coming right along, although i haven't worked on it this summer, it will be finished by spring. right now the glass is all in, trunk is finished, wiring is in, interior mostly done. still need to put the drivetrain in and bolt the front sheetmetal on....boy that sounds simple, should have it done in two weeks....NOT!!! :eek2:
thanks! Guy

 

While not a Stage 1, I wonder how many were bench seat/column shift 455's with those ugly(to me) hub caps????????????? :Brow:
