Does anyone know for sure, if a Stage-1 option was offered in 1969? I always thought that started in 1970?

dont want to spend 50,000 and if i sell its only worth 25,000 i will leave it as is and use it for a play toy

You said at one point it's a Stage one, that brings the value up according to the link in post 17 to about 61k

If you can document the car, it is worth at least 50,000 to the right buyer. Again, that's a big IF.

So in the end it is a non matching number 69 GS.

Next question is, did you buy & pay 50K for the car? If so, I hope you enjoy the ride for a long time & get some enjoyment from it.

the paint code is 77 it is gold now, wanted to paint it the same but code 77 antique gold looks almost dark gray. any advice or info and the car has been painted before so no nothing of is actual color

 

[LARRY70GS]

It's actually a very nice color, more brown than gold. These pictures do it more justice than a paint chip.
