No data on the site but looks to have tilt wheel and power windows in a hardtop car.

Post by: Brian on February 14, 2012, 07:48:03 AM: This one has me suspicious. I have a bunch of pics Mark Ascher gave me years ago of a car in PA for sale and it sure looks like this is the same car. Here are a few pics of the one I am talking about. What are the chances of a GS that color, with a white roof, white interior, PW, and no AC? If it is not the same car, I would be surprised. If it is the same car, I would check it closely, because the older pics I have of it show alot of rust.

It needed work, I remember that the top was very rusty or it had a vinyl that was taken off and the glue was there. I would have thought about buying it but it was Green and I already have a green 65. I may have some photos of it I will check. When I went back in 2003 to pick up the Red GS I don't remember seeing it..

I went through the old original Registry Archives of Steve Shuman's GSs. He listed all the options for his Turquoise Mist GS hardtop. It did not have power windows or a tilt column. Therefore, the GS for sale is not Steve's old hardtop. Considering that power windows and a tilt column are relatively rare options, its quite possibly that its the same GS from Brian's post.

Post by: gssizzler on February 18, 2012, 11:09:10 PM: John , very strange? the copy of the registry directory I have does list a turquoise mist hardtop with power windows and tilt wheel! I found pics of the car he sent me and the pics of the interior show it with power windows and tilt wheel! pics are dated 1990 Jon

Post by: nut465gs on February 19, 2012, 09:19:05 AM: Hi Jon,

Strange? No, not really . . . .I screwed up. I had written down the codes on another sheet of scratch paper to research and makes my notes . The last two codes I had forgotten to copy over. The last two codes were R1= Power Windows and S7= Tilt Column. My bad. So this GS hardtop is most likely Steve's. Thanks for catching my error.
