Re: Musclecar Dealers & Low Production Factory Freaks
Thanks for the compliments guys.
What makes a GSS, well, the basics were an intake swap to the aluminum Edelbrock six pack intake with three 427 Corvette spec carbs, Milodon oil pump and some internal modifications like heavier valve springs. GSD also stuck on there home made snubber on the axle. That was probably about it for the basic package however, you could have any modification you wanted to pay for. I will try to link an advertisement. I've seen GSS Demons that were very plain, flat hood, bench seat, poverty cap wheel cars and others that were loaded. In 72, the 340 GSS was advertised as a Paxton supercharged car but I know of 4 72 GSS Demons that came with the six pack induction. Mr. Norm would sell what the customer wanted. My car has an Auto Meter tach strapped to the steering column. It is written in the paperwork when the car was ordered new. The customer didn't want the factory tach. Mine has been there since new.
I some day want to properly restore this car when time and $$ allow but for now, I drive it a little every summer with my two little girls and let them enjoy the feel and sound of a high revving 340 with 410 gears.
