I have a White GSX S1 4spd but I decided that this car should have been a Stage 2 so htat is the route I took. I also scraped the bell housing in favor of a scatter shield because I like to drive the car hard. It should make it to the 2005 GS Nationals God willing.
This is a friend of mine whos car is on the poster of the white gsx you see floating around, in several muscle car books and calenders. His name is Ken Bratko, and the photo is from the gm show at carlisle, in the display area. After winning first place you are asked to come back the next year and display the car inside. He use to work for buick, and preped this car when it was new for the orig owner. Ken bought the car from the orig owner because the guy bought the car for his son in 1970, but the father was scared to death his kid was going to kill himself driving it. Ken's had the car since 1974. owen
Bob Swarthout, AlaskaBuick's dad, recently bought a white Stage 1 Auto, and Dennis (AlaskaBuick) has a yellow auto.
The QQ is more sought after by collectors I have been told, because the Saturn yellow says more..."Look at me" and stands out more in a crowd. The 10-10 is indeed more rare though. It just depends who wants one and what their willing to pay for the color and options they want. I think their both equals, and like them both the same, as I do all Buicks. " WOULDN'T YOU REALLY RATHER HAVE A BUICK?"
gsx values ill be leaving for the nats in a few days, and when i come back i have to make a decision. my daughter is getting married in september and ive been mulling over selling my QQ X to help pay for the wedding. it would hurt like heck to sell it and ive been losing sleep over it. of course my daughter comes before the car, but then again you only live once... dont know what to do?
John, I'm looking for a stg 1 GSX. I'd really like to talk to you about your car. I can be reached at 580-286-9102 or silentco@redrivermail.com Thanks Phil
Phil - Thanks for registering your GS. I'll get everything updated ASAP. I will try to call you about that 'FM' code o No: John L - Say it ain't so :ball:
gsx values marco, its not so yet. im gonna take the X to the nats, have some fun and decide when i get back. my daughter gets married in september, so i have a little time to decide what to do. ill miss it terribly if i sell it, but a father has to take care of his daughter. its amazing i havent started smoking again.
A white GSX 4-speed with AC, that would be the ultimate GSX as far as I am concerned. In the meantime my '70 GSX Stage 1, QQ with original block in the garage with a hole in the side sits there! It's a Chicago car, rusty quarters, and undercoated but is the 14th one built! Someday very soon, I hope to start it's restoration, I have almost everything to do it, but time and space! RV
Re: dealership I don't think we have ever determined that? I will have to check it out later. I have copies of all the registrations/titles from the previous owners. The engine was blown when the last IL owner raced a Testarossa on the expressway somewhere near Chicago. They rebuilt an Electra engine with KB 118 cam and basically stock otherwise. Some of the car was painted as the side stripes are really wrong, but I think the roof and trunk lid are orginal paint! RV
From what I have observed there is little difference in the price between white and yellow. I have seen both colors go for high dollars. I do think a stage-1 is worth more than a stock 455 and a 4-speed with worth more than automatic car. I think this has more to do with how people perceive muscle cars. Everyone want the high HP option with a 4-speed. That is what most people envision when they invision a muscle car. I will do some number crunching tonight and post results from the registry from rarest to most plentiful. I do not have it in front of me right now. Also, My father is the orginal owner and still has a 1970 Apollo White Stage-1 automatic GSX. Mark
