    Just to let folks here know my GSX is to be auctioned January 23 2016. I just decided with the crazy money these have been bringing I would be crazy at least not to give it a shot. Someone here already figured out it was mine. Car is actually a non Stage 1 4spd. The rarest Gsx. When I retored it I decided to go with the stage1 look and heads etc. because I had the parts to do it and the Nos re chromed valve covers I have looked too good. I just swapped in some perfect red valve covers. I am swapping back the original 3.42 rear as well and taking out the 3.64. Most of the date codes on the engine are correct although block is not matching it is correct part number and date. No codes or vin are visible. Trans is correct but from another GS455. Car even has rare correct 4spd carb. I do not think there are many Gsxs out there that have been restored more correctly. You can check it out on Mecum site. Lot R571. I look forward to your input here.

    Car looks great Dave, good luck with a potential sale.

    Yours will be the benchmark for GSX value with a NOM, I am sure. It will be interesting.

    Dave's car is stunning in person. The attention to detail just doesn't come out in the photos.

    Good luck Dave.

    Against the rules anyways. They made me a catalog star so if I don't show I owe them big.

    Will be interesting to watch. Wishing you best of luck in the auction. Has to be a little nerve wracking. I guess you will have a reserve?

    After auction, You might need to change your sig to "Dave, seeing green" (instead of yellow)

    nice car did mecum give you a ball park on what it should bring or did you come up with a price. i hear they put a lot of pressure on a person to sell when it gets close. good luck let us know how mecum treats you :TU:

    Funny, we were just talking about this at the nationals. I was telling Dave that as these cars get more and more valuable, it gets to the point that you would rather have the money than the car.

    Whats on the horizon Dave? Maybe that bittersweet car? :Brow: If you hear from that guy and pass on it, let me know.
