Around 1978 (eighth grade for me), my Dad called all excited about buying a '70 GTO ragtop, 350hp/4 speed, Pepper Green, green interior, black top...for $400! Said he almost stood his '66 Newport on its nose when he drove by it. I learned to drive in that car, when I was 13. I was in college in '83 when he lost his storage for the car, and had to sell it
I tried everything to raise money to get it, but I had no means at the time *sigh*
I got a '67 coupe in '85, and now have a '69 basketcase coupe, but I will always regret missing out on dad's '70 vert.
BTW, this is after a new quarter panel, repaint, and white top
