    Guys, I did something really stupid while I was trying to get the garage organized for the GS. I hurt myself trying to move my GN. Was really stupid on my part. I'll get more pics up hopefully this weekend. The frame has alot of scale. Not sure if its salvagable. The rear bumper is rusted through under the left taillight. The trunk floor is shot, but I already knew that. I have a clean pair of doors and trunklid that I almost sold last year. I changed my mind once I realized I was gonna get another old one. Yes, the grille is in very good shape. It has a small piece missing at the top right corner, but I have another one that I can use for pieces. This car also has a deep bowl fuel pump on it. I thought only stage cars came that way. Rich, I'll get all the data from the cowl tag in the next couple of days.

    Cool barn find. Asked wife if I could stop working on her car to take some pics for you of my GS350 and she said no. But I will see what I can do

    Jeremy, it's easier to ask for forgiveness then it is to ask for permission.:TU:

    I'm feeling better now. Gonna get this thing in the garage tonight and get started with it. It's under 5 inches of snow right now, though I don't imagine that'll hurt anything.

    Ok, the digits on the top right are: 21416BDY I think
    Under the 185 interior code is 03D or O3D

    Still working on the pics. The left rear wheel was frozen. It took half the day to get it off the trailer.
    Thank you guys for all your help in this.

    Rich, I talked to Wayne before the holidays. I just haven't got around to sending him my info yet. I'll keep you posted. I also got a line on a 70 skylark with all kinds of GS stuff on it. Price is kind of high, but comes with clean fenders, GS hood, and some other stuff.

    Ask for forgiveness you say. My wife is super cool, she would have to be. We went to the Pure Stock Winter party and she is all pumped up again. They were takin pics and then they posted them under Pure Stock, Brian's Party. We are 3rd from the bottom, wife has her hand part way up and I just look drunk.
    Camera was not what we wanted so we took it back and now it's clothing, so pics of my GS 350 might be awhile
    Thanks Jeremy:Do No:

    Ok guys, its been a while, but I wanted to share some info about the car. I was able to find the broadcast sheet on top of the gas tank. I was wondering if you numbers guys can tell me which wheel covers came on mine. The code in the box is 7. Also, there's 3 spaces under the section for tires. It looks like this:

    TIRES
    S | C | M

    O L

    I'll try and get more pics as I get it apart, but unfortunately I haven't done much with it to this point.
    TIA

    Contact Wayne Roberts and get documentation on your car
    I posted his phone # on earlier post.
    That is only true way to get clear documentation on your GS 455
