Anyone remember a 1970 GS 455 4sp Conv in Cornet Gold running around Western South Dakota,Sturgis- Belle Fourche area. Found its way to the Bay area California..Thats where I found it Bench Seat Tach Posi 3.64 NO P.S or P.B. 8-track
I recall a conversation about such a car a number of years ago. It was the beginning of a conversation about my 71 Cortez Gold Convertible being that car. I was at a car show but I don't remember which one. I know it wasn't the GS Nationals so it must have been here in Denver around 1995-1996.
It is a bare bones convert,no power steering or brakes.Bench seat with tach and posi.There would be no mistakin this one.:beer
I didn't know you could get a non stage car with a 3.64 rear. I'd love to see a pic since my hardtop is also cornet gold.
You could special order a range of "performance axle" ratios from the factory, I believe. Also, you could order from the dealer. I had a '70 GS 350 that had 3.64's (not 3.23 std. ratio and not 3.42's) ... an 'OO' coded axle ... never should have sold the car with that axle, though.
That was an optional rear for sure but it is the first 70 non stage 1 GS 455 I have seen with the optional 3.64 rear. I wonder if it was specially ordered for a customer?
