UNDERSIDE: If you are knowledgeable about cars you will be very impressed with how the bottom of this car is. It is not restored are dressed up to look pretty. It is extremely well preserved. There are still several assembly line paint markings throughout the chassis. The floors still have the red body overspray from the factory. The drain plugs are still raw galvanized metal and the factory caulk is still raw, never painted over. The Turbo 400 trans is vin # matched to the car and has original BA tag. Has original rear end. It also has optional disc brakes in front and Rallye suspension which includes sway bars, boxed rear control arms, HD springs. Dual exhaust and shocks are new. You can sometimes find grandma's grocery getter with unabused low miles. Finding a top dog muscle that has been hardly driven and pampered is a rarity. The 1970 is the most desirable year for the GS because it was at the peak of power. After inspecting this car I'm pretty excited. The more you know cars, the more you will like this one! Whether you are a serious investor, a collector or just want a really nice muscle car, this one will more then satisfy.
