I have recently bought a 1980 GSA [Elsie] from Chris Salter and she is now with Rob Moss at Chevronics for a total restoration.
A C-matic, i have decided to keep her as such.
Andy
She is a very early GSA with the GS dash and interior.

Hi Andy,
Look forward to seeing more of this. Certainly a different sort of beast to the BX.
Good luck!

Re: My newly aquired GSA
Good luck with the restoration.
I remember driving this car in the late 90's when it was on the road.
Glad you're staying with the C-Matic.
