This was the first rendition of the GSX. Mild compared to the actual show car

----I have seen this car and never noticed the special hood scoops. When I 1st saw it at Mecum Indy several years ago it didn't have the striping on the sides, which I don't think help the car. Whoever did the resto made the right decision there,,,IMO!.....Bill S

One of the classiest muscle cars of all time!

Thanks for sharing these photos.

I wonder if the first rendition was influenced by the GTO side striping or vise versa?
Beautiful car. I had never seen a front spoiler on the one like the show version before.

Both stripes use the body contours (sorry, any designers here?) so I'm guessing the only Judge influence was the concept.

FWIW, I think this is a 1970 GSX prototype and not 1969. :twocents:

The car in the photos is the 1970 prototype. It was not at any auction and has been owned by the same owner for decades.
