I'm looking for either of the above but must be a NO RUST car in very good condition.
Restored is OK as long as it's been done right. No bench seat or column stick.
West coast car is preferable.

Are you looking for a numbers matching car or just the pedigree? A friend has a 70 HO convertible 4 spd red/black he might part with but doesnt have the original motor.

Is the replacement motor an HO in your friend's car? Whatever the case, I'd be interested in checking it out.

I've been asked a few questions via PM's so now would be a good time to be a bit more precise.
Numbers matching is not a holy grail for me, as long as it's a nice no rust car in very good condition and has a 242 VIN. I'd rather pay for a nice restored GTO than a not so nice one with original patina for the same money.
As previously stated I'm not interested in bench seat or column stick. I'd prefer a 4 speed manual but wouldn't shut the door on a TH400 auto if it presented well. Also, with gas at $6+ a gallon over here, a 600 h.p. gas eater is out of the question.

I can afford up to $50k so good genuine Judges are out of my price bracket.

And finally; if any "genuine matching #'s" car is presented to me, I pass on all the information to my mate in MN who is a collector and a walking encyclopaedia on GTO's before I make a decision. (He has a fit when I mention non matching #'s cars) LOL
