<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> Perhaps the Beemer / Chevelle comment was from Radon or Mr_GTO. My apologies if it was. As far as the cost to do a resto: I was told as you have indicated: about 20K then double it. This was my whole point for the contention on this board: There are people here who think you've got no right to criticize the New GTO unless you're some sort of a collector, have an award winning vintage goat, etc. When I logged on a year ago I was hit with an onslaught of insults, allegations, etc from all the hallowed "experts". Given I make my living arguing with people ( atty )then I jumped into the fray. I actually logged on to see web pages on other GTO's that had been restored. (Champs, Dannys, yours) I'm using some of these as a guide to restore my 70, particularly Dannys. I keep waiting to see a 70 pop up. Personally, I get more out of reading posts from those that don't have an "award winning" Goat such as Heff or Disco but are passionate about their rides. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
We all have a common love of Pontiacs here, and can differ in opinion and argue, but at least contribute something positive!
>>> That was my original intent a year or so ago and I got slammed. I personally think the 04 is a good car. As a GTO I don't like it, but nobody is forcing me or anybody else to buy it. I just like to pick a fight with the "experts" who think they are better than others because they have this or that sitting in their garage or something on a wall / trophy case.
>>>> You've got a cool GTO, that I would LOVE to see restified. Let's talk about that! <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
>>> Deal.If you know of anybody that has a web page showing their restified 70 Goat I'd like to see it....haven't decided if I'm going to go with a full resto, maybe a Judge clone or something close to a pro-street look. I would love to continue to drive it as you are able to do so in sunny FL, but in Utah the road salt would chew up a 34 yr. old undercarriage in a couple of years.
