  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    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.
