    I have been bored lately and been all over the world on the internet. Anyone ever heard of Blueflamesportscars.com? The best I can tell is that they are in Tokyo. They list 2 70 GSX's. 1 yellow and 1 white. Along with other muscle cars. I think we need to bring them home. I want the white one. Ya'll can fight over the yellow one.http://www.blueflamesportscars.com

    WoW!

    The yellow X was BBSam's and that '68 GS 400 Convertible looks very interesting. I don't understand why they would want 'Our Big Cars' over there as the streets can't handle them, they aren't wide enough, but I suppose it's a status symbol or something or they have extra sushi money to spend on American Iron?:confused: :confused:

    The white X advertises to be a Stage 2 and the yellow a Stage 1. Roberta do you know the stage 2 car?

    How much in US dollars ?

    When Japan was high on its "all work and no play" way of life, american musclecars were a very hot comodity. Now that this attitude has burned out quite a bit, a lot of these will be for sale. They ain't cheap but I guarentee the original importer of each individual car has lost his A$$.

    I noticed that it said stage 2 also. I thought the stage 2 was a little different.

    I think one of Bballsam's GSXs did indeed go to Japan. Can you blame him? The Japanese were dropping some serious loot on them for awhile.

    Just talked to a Japenese friend. She said 1 U.S. dollar equals 105 yen. So by my math the 68 GS conv for 2,480,000 yen equals 23,619.05 U.S.
