1970 GS(X) Quartet

Well I also MIGHT have mentioned your car started out as a strippo 350-2bbl with a bent frame but I don’t totally remember

 

I will start the new and improved Fritzenshiftin Registry and you can be car number 1 : )

 

Agreed, but it is a place to start to see if someone has tried to document it. Particularly, for the ‘71s. I sent a note to the auctioneer on that car to see what documentation the museum might have.

 

I know yer gud that’s why yer invited FrankinFine & your Stage is exactly how I would have ordered one if I had a time machine, my friend: )

 

Did someone say Biker Fox?

 

This one looks so much, (to the point of being identical) like the car that was for sale at John Scotti's in Montreal about 10 years back He was asking $36K U.S. and it sat there for a few years.

Did he have any documentation to prove it was a Stage 1?

 

Not that I was aware of.

Could be the same one. It was at Sotheby's 5 years ago.

Okay that explains the price that he was asking and it sold for at the Sotheby’s auction.

 

Troy and Brian, You're both are not alone. I wish I had never sold my GSX but sometimes we all make choices that later we wish we could change. I would love to have mine back.

Looks like there are now 3 threads on the same cars...

 

The '70 GS 350 had a hammer price of $18.5 for a total of $20,350.

 

I didn't make it down to Corpus Christi this weekend but did see on the live stream of the event that this car hammered for $27,500.

 

Wow - I would have paid that all day long, even if its not a legit stage 1.

 

If I wasn’t going out of state to look at a ‘71 Pontiac TransAm I would have gone down there. I can get one or the other but not both.

 

I thought there was a gentleman's agreement moratorium on mentioning "him" so as to keep anyone from posting pics, lol.

 

It can be used as a threat to keep a conversation on track. Sort of a mutually assured destruction philosophy.

 

Hello all,
I know this post is kind of long in the tooth. But I bought this car in the 2021 Mecum Kissimmee Aution in Jan 2021. In now resides in LaVernia Texas, just outside of San Antonio. As I read the threads I see there are some questions concerning its authenticity. Quite understandable. I wondered when buying it, but I took them at their word because the car looked awesome. Unfortunately, the pictures were ancient and yes this was part of the John Scotti collection out of Montreal, CA. I started to wonder when I went to the the Stage 1 Registry and it was not located there. I have alot of the original paper work that came with the car. Unfortunately, I do not have the build sheet. Still maybe somewhere on the car, but they say it was a frame off resto. I do have the POBF that they claim came off the fuel tank, but it is impossible to read.

I was able to track the car to 1977 in Virginia and then Pennslyvania, then Indiana, then on to Canada for a spell, then sold at the Sotherby's auction for $35k from John Scotti collection back in Indiana in 2014. It spent 5 years at the Corpus Cristi Car Museum from 2014-2019. Then sold for $30,250 at World Wide Auction in Corpus Cristi in 2019. It was listed at the Mecum Jan 2020 Kissimmee Auction. Reserve bid was $30K, so no sale. It finally sold to me this year. Total Price was $46K delivered. Now I wish I had known it was for sale in Corpus, but oh well. The guy that I bought it from put new tires on it and at least they were expensive. I have paperwork that said the last time someone changed the oil was in Sept of 2005. It had 98,900 miles at the time, I saw a Picture at John Scotti's with 99,180 miles. So apparently from 2014 until I bought it this year only 8 miles were put on it, because I received it with 99,188.

I say all of this to say this, it was a trailer queen for the past 16 years, that I can figure out. Now it is a driver. Is it a Stage 1? The jury is out. Please look at the pictures I am attaching and give me your opinions, be honest, because this is what this forum is all about. There may be more evidence, but I do not know where to look. Thanks, Chris

 

Sorry forgot the body tag.
