    Rear control arms aren't boxed? Any documentation. Is it in the Registry?

    Never saw that style steering wheel, dash or interior in a GS. Bench armrest?

    I don't recall power windows and a power bench in a standard interior before. Craaaaazeee!

    Love to see a shot of the trim tag.

    My stage 1 has a similar dash and came with the same style wheel. Darn glad it's too far away to go see in person. I'd have a hard time not bringing that one home!

    The emblems in the wrong place is always a deal breaker for me. One of the few things thats not easily fixed

    I agree! Deal breaker for me, too.

    Max Damage I'm working on it!

    So is it the position of them that's wrong? Or are the Stage 1 badges supposed to be on the hood?

    In the wrong place on the fender. Right side too far forward, Left too high

    Looks like a solid car. Not usually a bench seat/col. shift/AC fan but I like it (maybe it's the green:)). Fix the emblem locations, patch the quarters, paint & drive it (yea, I know how that goes - Next thing...:)).

    That'd be the standard wheel for a GS455 (aka Deluxe wheel) - Was optional on a GS350. Also standard (no cost) 124 Sandalwood interior (no armrest).

    I noticed the dash. Almost looks like how the repro bezels come w/o black or woodgrain.
    Doesn't look like an original window sticker so while those options were available (agree, very odd to see on the base interior) would need to see some more docs to know. Would be really neat if originally equipped that way.

    What´s ALWAYS a deal breaker for me is that friggin A/C stuff.

    I agree about the A/C.

    My GSX has the A/C and I wish it did not. If I found another GSX of the same quality as mine, but minus the A/C I would seriously consider selling.

    Cheers

    That window sticker looks like one of my repros from before I turned the project over to Mike Trom. Not totally sure, though.

    This is an odd car being built with a standard no cost sandalwood straight bench seat interior with PW and AC.

    Passenger mirror was added per the Window Sticker … and looks incorrect as well...

    My son purchased a window sticker for my Chevelle just like that.

    Aside from the fact the window sticker does not appear original, it is actually stated on the window sticker that it is not original.

    The second last block on the bottom states in fine print "This is not an original General Motors Corporation window sticker".
