Just goes to show how much wieght a Motion letter from Joel carries...even if it's not substanciated by fact(as in an original or copy of an old work order), but rather, his 'memory'. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif If Joel has Vin #'s of his modified cars why not release them like Helen Gibb did when she gave out the 50 COPO Nova vins. Oh, that's right, he has a fee based system https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif

One of the Top bidders is a V8Buick member and Buick nut!

This car had a 500K offer just 6 months ago and it was turned down.

A 70 Stage 1 Buick GSX had more torque at 2800 rpms than any other production car (510 lbs. to be exact)and the styling was really in your face! Probably 400 or so built in 1970 with the Stage 1 option. A pretty rare car that alot of collectors have really overlooked! Just my opinion. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif

You have to wonder why he didn't wait for the silly show in January.I can't seem to recall any Buick muscle of this caliber going through BJ in recent years -would most certainly fetch big $$ with the sat night cocktail crowd https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Reserve not met with $626,000?????! Is this real or just a fishing expedition?

Re: Motion GSX hits Ebay!!
 

Gee, in the 15 seconds it took to write this post it went to $635,000...do I hear 645? with four hours to go. The high bidder's recent feedback consists of a DVD, a pair of socks, a needlepoint and a pair of sneakers. Time for the home equity line of credit, I guess.

Re: Motion GSX hits Ebay!!
 

Saw this one coming...here come the last minute bid cancelations and a lowered reserve. Price currently at $611,000 https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif Stand by with your popcorn. This should get GSXciting

That's the way I'm feeling now too...more so because it hasn't hit the reserve yet.

WHY??

Re: Motion GSX hits Ebay!!
 

I got to see this car today. Never got a chance to talk to the owner. The restoration is beautiful. I can't see $600K. I think the auction was $45 well spent to get interest in the car. I'll post the pictures when I get them loaded up.

Re: Motion GSX hits Ebay!!
 

Back around 1993, there was a '70 Stage 1 ragtop around. Red, automatic-- A cool car, but on more than one occasion I saw it in the rearview of my '86 Mustang GT (5-speed, 3.27 gear, no cats, headers, otherwise stock). From highway speeds, it was no contest-- The Mustang would walk away. The best the Mustang ever ran was a 13.88 on drag radials.

So, $611K? How funny is that? I don't know if the old Mustang would have spanked this car as well, but with an extra $500K or so in the motor and drivetrain it probably would have...

I guess you know what they say about a fool and his money...
