Robz I'm in Laval... I will be glad to show you 1 of 310 gto 455 ho m-22, 3.55 posi, when it will be finished. right now the car is in restoration and dismantled. There was minimal rust on it: front and rear of hood, bottom of fenders , fender braces,two pin holes in trunk. The cowl dash, windshield frame, rockers, floor, right quarter, trunk lid, rear panel under the back window are rust free. There is very little rust on the driver's quarter, on the bottom lip back off the wheel and under the bumper corner. A miracle for a car in quebec. the car was very muddy because the first owner drove it in the field!Every parts need cleaning and restoration but it's all matching numbers, head, intake, block, manifold, carb, water pump, alternator, distributor, transmission, rear end, brake booster. I'm not sure about the starter and the master cylinder...

As I said before, I'm impressed! The guy must have rinsed off the salt after each drive, as even 4 yrs in our winters (and Quebec salted roads with alot of
PASSION) would make a few body parts on those cars non-existent today...Here's a pic of my 1st GTO from Quebec, back in 1980..After starting the body work, I decided to find another GTO and just transplanted the engine/interior and Hideaways as this one was too advanced in its cancer...
You have a nice car/combo...Hopefully you'll finish her soon...
Maybe we'll see each other if you go to the shows (Fridays in Laval (Cure Labelle), Wed at the Julep)...
