Only 44 GSXs were made total in 72. Thankfully this is not one of them so it is affordable and useable! I'm thoroughly impressed with this car. It's what I would call a keeper, nothing to apologize for. Dialed in, everything works. Comes with a pile of documentation. EXTERIOR: You can tell immediately that this is an excellent car. The fit and finish is really excellent. It is an all original metal, clean car to begin with from Vegas. The... body panels are absolutely straight. Even along the bottoms it has a mirror reflection of the ground. Body gaps are all square and flush. Professionally repainted to show quality. Polished out like a mirror, I did not see a flaw. It has the full GSX package including correctly laid out and painted stripes, spoilers and emblems. In front it has a really nice, dry shiny original bumper. Grill is excellent, has GSX emblem. Headlight bezels are super clean. Has a functional ram air hood with a working hood tachometer. Windshield is crystal clear, has sport mirrors. In back the bumper is rechromed, excellent rubber strips. The 15 inch Buick mags are in excellent shape with BFG tires. Jambs are painted real nice, bottom of the doors are spotless metal. New window seals, weatherstrips, grommets, etc. This car sits proud, has a great stance. INTERIOR: Meticulous, spotless, however you want to describe it, it's like new. I feel like I'm in a new car.

The upholstery, door panels, armrests, headliner, visors look brand new. It has a nice stereo system with built in kick panel speakers and 6x9 rear deck speakers, the original radio is included. Even the window cranks, handles, the little chrome covers under the headrests were replaced. New carpets new and Buick embroidered floor mats. The GSX emblem for the dash was $159.
