BJ,

Thanks for posting the car #17. I always wondered what hapened to that car. It was for sale in Hemmings for a long time back in 2000. I called on the car back in August of 2000. Talked to a guy named Howie from NJ. He sent me pictures, and I ran the phs on car. It was the real deal.

But, as you described it just was poorly done restoration at the time. Wrong interior as it was mostly white, and a mix of sienna like dash(72), console, 8 track, pillars, etc. It had wrong booster from a 69, radiator shield from a 67. It was also freshly painted which looked like the wrong color with inside fenders painted black, and wrong color top. It was NOM, and with that many thing wrong what else?

Even Joe at Parts Place said it wasn't worth it! That was when I really didn't know him well, but since I was at his store and had the pictures with me I asked his opinion. I always thought he went and scarfed it up as I lost track of the car. I kick myself as all the things were fixable expect the original engine. It was for sale for $59.5K with 55k miles!

I ended up buying the car listed above it in Hemmings. A White 71 GTO 455 HO, RA, M22, 12 bolt posi, numbers matching car with AC and 8 track from Texas. We all know were that one went too.
