Nice looking Olds. What does she run?

So far I have not run it "HARD". The drivetrain was built to run in the 12.00 neighborhood. With exhaust closed, leaving at 4000rpm, and "granny shifting" at 5000rpm it went 13.21. There is A WHOLE LOT left. I feel certain with some-fine tuning and more aggressive driving low 12's are easily within reach. The car is tagged and insured for street use (it doesn't see much)and believe me, I am not out to break any records or PARTS!

Hey Everybody, I FINALLY picked up the G.S. yesterday! Once I get it cleaned up a little, I take some good photos and have someone teach me how to post them. I'm kinda "Lost in the 70s" technologically. I will tell you that I looked at the spare and the original ink stamps are PERFECT on the treads! The spare literally has never been out of the trunk. Gotta run, but I will do my best to get some pics on here. Until next time..... Dave.

A VERY SPECIAL THANKS to Sam for posting the pics.

This didn't happen to come out of a collection from outside Pittsburgh did it? Quite a few years ago my dad and I checked out a local doctor's collection and he had two identical GS 'verts just like that one sitting in a warehouse in McKeesport, PA that we considered buying.

Nice ride.

No, I purchased the car from a "little old lady", really. She is 94 years young and is a member of the BOCA. I know the complete history from new and have many documents including original window sticker. I'm interested in knowing more about the ones you are speaking of, especially if they are this rare color. Sloan said they weren't aware of any others ordered in code #67 Chestnut--Riviera "only". Thanks for the interest.
