Seller provides lots of data on numbers matching. Is it a re-stamp or original? https://www.ebay.com/itm/144026040273?
Yeah I agree. And unfortunately, if you have someone else do a restoration, that's the price point that you hit easily, and the reality of selling it. I was vaguely aware this car was coming for sale but wasn't aware it wasn't an actual GSX. Its sounds like he took a special car in a 71 Stage, and tried to make it more special by making a GSX. I'm not trying to be a jerk, and it looks like a really nice car done high end. I appreciate that everyone can do what they like with their own car. But why not use a Skylark and not a documented 71 Stage to do something like that? You'd likely save some money
Ostensibly its pretty clean so it wouldn't need metal work, but yeah any buyer is out some money to "un GSX" it if that's the goal. He'll probably still get money because not everyone is a numbers freak, and it really does seem high quality. But I'm curious how it turns out.
Nice car, but why the Olds steering wheel? And the gloss black on stripes? If you’re gonna go to the expense, do it right, right?
Car looks fantastic. I would keep it as is. He built it his way. Sucks he has to sell. Hope he gets some good coin for it.
Is it me, or does the "Just Dashes" dash pad just not look quite right? I would've restored it to orig. being a #'s matching '71 Stage 1 & not cut a hole in the hood, but wasn't my car/$ & just my 2 cents.
The steering wheel would have to go if it was mine... Car looks immaculate and show all the $ spent. I agree that it seems odd to take a car with a lot of value as is and make it into a tribute. Wouldn't be my way either.
