I've known this 70GS455 for about 10 years. It is now for sale and I need your opinions as to what a fair price is. The VIN is 446370K which if I am correct it is a 70 GS 455 built in Kansas? It is gold with brown interior (torn seats). Buckets, Console and AC (I'm sure not working-the owner wasnt there). It is a Texas car repainted gold with GSX stripes (I'm not a fan of GSX stripes when the car isnt a GSX). It looked quite solid-the chrome was good and the grille had a small break in it. It has ralley wheels. I did get a hold of the owner tonight and he said it was not numbers matching but did have the original heads on it. He says it's a 70 block. Trans and rear are supposed to be original. It also has a GSX wing on the back. Here's the wierd thing- it has a Skylark emblem on the rear of the drivers 1/4. The owner says he left it when he repainted it as the holes were drilled for it and he thought it was a line error. Could this be or could it be someone put a used Skylark 1/4 on it at some point? Long story short, he wants $13000 CDN for it (about $9800US) Is this fair for a solid non numbers matching 70 GS455? I'm very tempted... Thanks If I go back I will take my camera and take pics. Todd
The price sounds more than fair, possibly a little high IMO. I would be very careful though. In these days of cloned cars, it's not too hard to buy a fake. I would ask if he has any other documentation on the car. Things to look for include: BA tag on trans (passenger side of casing. you can see this by just looking) There are a number of charts on websites that will have axle codes, which are located on the passenger side axle tube close to the pumpkin and facing the front of the car. Proper code on carb I'm sure others here will have other stuff to look at/for.
