30 years ago, on Father's Day weekend, I purchased this 1964 GTO Convertible for $600.00.
It came with an engine, but it was not in the car. The transmission was in the trunk. The trunk floor (once I removed all the screwed in tin) was basically non existent and showed that the gas tank was held in place with blue nylon rope. Floor boards were the same.
Before I finished the car, I had eclipsed the $20,000.00 mark. But I drove it for the first time in October 1994 - 2 years and 4 months later - after a frame off restoration.
Back in 1995 I thought I had put too much money into the car. But now, I know that it was money well spent
