Patricks wicked GSX..............

[PPPJJJFFF]

In the upcoming August edition of "Hemmings Muscle Cars", there is an article on Brad Conleys "GSX Prototype car". Page 58 I believe. "My Classic Car" will also be doing a feature on his car to be shown next spring. His prototype car is awesome!!! Patrick

You can see a picture of the Prototype car on the homepage of www.V8Buick.Com Its not a really good picture though. The car I believe is about 200lbs. heavier than a normal GSX. I believe it's because of the fiberglass hood. Larger front spoiler in white (black on a reguler GSX). The rear spoiler is a little different too. The prototype car has a two tone interior, wild combination of White and Orange. I heard the guys from "My Classic Car" really enjoyed shooting the car at the Buick Nationals last month. The feature will be in the spring of next year. I've also been told there is a documented "Baldwin" or "Motion" GSX getting restored down south right now. I really don't know much about the Motion cars so I may be wrong on what it is exactly. Those names were mentioned. Brad Conley who owns the GSX prototype and John Chamberlain who I believe owns a Prototype GS or something rare like that will also be in that Hemmings magazine I believe. These guys are considered top dog Buick gurus. Patrick

Yes there is a Motion GSX being restored in the south. I do not many details on the car, but PM I'll direct you to the right person.

"Wouldn't you rather have a buick"--Shame they got on board the 60's musclecar train a little late--When they just started to shine the plug was being pulled--Buick never got their just due--------- feature/car.
I couldn't get that web to come up , so I don't know if this is the photo of the GSX Prototype being shown---But it deserves a second look--------------

[Belair62]

Looks like the same prototype Joe...I like Buicks...had quite a few...one I wish I had back was a 65 Riviera 425 duak quad....very rare non-GS...still have the POP to it...

[JoeG]

There's one that shows up every year at the Staten Island Community College car show---If I make it this year I'll snap a few photos--- Light metallic blue---

This is Brads prototype car. It will be featured in the August edition of "Hemmings". Theres a "Buick Muscle Car" buyers guide that has a lot of great history on the Buicks. They do a good job covering the 60's Buicks, the GS and 70, 71 and 72 GSX. Also goes into great detail on the Stage I 455. Patrick
