    Now THAT is a good looking automobile


    for 45 grand though you would think they would have the air working

    The flat hood really helps give it the down in the weeds look

    Just got finished digging out almost 2ft of snow(with the drifting) in front of the garage. Looked at the gran coupe convertible and all the stuff around it, wasn't too happy. Came inside to get ready for the football games and you had to go show me such a nice car.

    I know what you mean since i am restoring mine now,got fenders,doors,windows ect all over the garage.TO me seeing a GC as nice as that one gives me even more incentive to get it done quickly

    OK, I don't get it!

    It's a beautiful car, but 44K? The antenna is wrong, the engines the wrong color, has after market A/C in the interior and nothing in the engine compartment.

    Am I wrong to think 30K?

    Solly Cholly,engine is the correct color for 330 horse 383,just like the blue one in my 70 GC.If you ordered A/C the engine would be orange and 335hp/383

    E63 is the 335 hp 383, and thats what the tag shows. Holleys were on all HP 383's in 70 and 71 and these engines were orange.  A/C and a Carter 4bbl had Blue/Turquiose paint as per Galens casting book.

    I stand corrected,very nice car though.So its not the air cond that got you an orange 335/383?WHat is mine?
    Mine is a non a/c car and the engine is blue,it had 76k original miles and wasnt hacked up in any way so i know its the orgianl color.If you could scan the galen sheet you are talking about it wouyld be much appreciated,thansk

    K, lets get away from the HP numbers. There were only 2 383's available in 1970, a 2bbl or a 4bbl. 4bbl was the N code Hp 383. it was 330hp or 335hp with a M.T.

    The only way it should have been Blue from original is if it had a carter 4BBL with the A/C. Are you sure the car was never apart anywhere in it's long life? Might be one of those few exception stories.
