Should be interesting if the owner has no docs for the GSX, unless it's a well known car in the Buick circles.
I'm not the expert, but the yellow looks wrong on the GSX to me... And uncover the whole thing. Makes me think what else is he hiding.
The GSX is gold, not yellow. Cortez Gold I think it is called... And I agree, uncover the entire car!
I realize the color is "Cortez Gold" However... to me that is a "Yellow" color. And that car looks like a incorrect "yellow" color for a GSX... to me.
1970 had two colors for the GSX - White and the Yellow I think you're thinking of. In 71 and 72 other colors were including this Cortez Gold.
I love a good debate. My point is and I'll elaborate this time.... This "Cortez Gold" doesn't look right to me. It looks way to green. Where if you consider that it is sitting next to a red car for the picture, it looks WAY WAY to green. Should be easy to figure out for a buyer though... I thought I read that the 6 added colors, from the two original color, cars were all accounted for by the GSX registry.
my Cortex GSX always looks greenish in photos too, that colour does not seem to be very photogenic. Strange, if I was selling my car I would make more effort and at least take the cover half off?
I heard 6 colors too, but at the GSX reunion we had Strato mist Blue Silver Cortez gold Black red lime mist Sherwood green white may even have missed one or two
For 1971 there were 6 standard colors, Stratomist Blue Platinum Mist Bittersweet Mist Lime Mist White & Cortez gold Then we had both the special color cars, Black & Red The jury is still out on the Sherwood green car, it has not been proven. Duane PS. At the reunion ALL the 71 colors were represented, which was a first for any event.
Owner of the car is a member here and the car was discussed before when he bought it as I recall. Legit, real deal car IIRC. I have seen other pics of it and it looks right.

Sorry verdimist green and it looked legit to most that saw it. But in saying that I defer to Duane in all things GS and GSX.
Mark Lob had the lowest documented mileage on his '71 GSX, in the country, and this car looks as clean & original as his! Since he sold it a few years ago, it's even possible that this could be the same car!
Agree, Cortez does not photograph well at all, a friend had one in the 90s and if he took pics of it in the sun using Fuji film it looked Saturn yellow, it's a strange color (and it does not age well) the roof on my old SportWagon was Cortez and was very faded/dead when I got it, looked brown-ish
