    What do you meant by standard stage 1. There are only a few cosmetic things that are stage 1 specific: maybe chrome valve covers and decals, fuel pump bowl and line, etc

    As you know the GSX was just an option/appearance package. Aside from cosmetics, except for the steering box and maybe the hood tach, there was no difference between this car and a non GSx 70 stage 1. I am not sure if you want to count the special smaller diameter steering wheel with the larger grip.

    The steering box was unique to GSx's?

    I didn't know that.

    It was a quick ratio steering box and was unique and part of GSX option in 1970.
    In 1970 Quick ratio box was not available in a regular GS car.

    In 71-72 it was optional in any GS or GSX and not included in 71-72 WA5 GSX ornamentation package.

    The only visual clue with the steering box was a little oval yellow sticker on the box cover with a two letter code on it. The letters are long since faded on most cars or painted over black like so many guys did in the past.

    So a box with the little yellow sticker is a quick ratio?

    No--- it just has a different 2 digit code in black letters on the yellow sticker.

    I tried to stay away from number stamps, decals etc when talking about he differences above.

    Cannot find listing on fast ratio

    Almost never, but I was thinking about driving it to our annual New Years Day Cruise in, if the weather permits. I think the low temp here tonight is going to be 68.

    Lee -- you know trailer queens are both a blessing and a curse. Waking up every morning and discovering you are not dead is the big picture. Everything else is small spuds. Sometime you have to take a risk and drive to a place where you can share them with the public.

    Wow, no kidding Dave! I'm glad to hear that Jim still has the car - I thought I heard he sold it several years ago.

    Jim - if you take it out, snap us a few pics of that beast!
