The guys on the other forum are mostly across the country and I let the seller know I was within a day's drive of him and I wanted the car. The other forum members basically told the owner I would be a great custodian for the car and stepped aside to let me make a deal. I am indebted to them for their generosity and good sportsmanship. The car has a lot of dings on the driver's side from decades of bikes and ladders and shovels falling on it, the passenger side is straight as an arrow. I will have a 'paintless dent removal' guy another GTO friend used take a look at it. I've never owned an original stick GTO before, with the born-with engine and drivetrain. They were always blown up or on their 3rd engine by the time I got them as used cars 45 years ago. This thing is a time capsule down to the studded bias ply snow tires.
