According to one source, about 50 Chrysler GS-1's were produced. That only five were known to exist suggests the possibility that far less than fifty were made. The GS-1's were originally built for distribution in France. The car is powered by a 331 cubic inch hemi-V-8 (235 h.p.) and equipped with a powerflite transmission. The automobile placed second in its class at Pebble Beach in 1995, and also won the award for "The Most Elegant Closed Automobile (1940 and after), at the 1996 Concours d' Elegance of the Eastern United States.
