Back in 1992 I had just gotten my first 65 2+2. I was driving country roads one day spoted a 65 GP next to a barn. As I was looking for a parts car I kept stopping at the house until I met the owner. I finally did meet the owner (a 50 year old single farmer) and seeing that I was driving a 2+2 he agreed to sell me the GP (it was a 389, 4spd 3.42 car).
Over the next couple months we became friends (I bought the car in the winter and I was unable to pick it up until spring). When I picked the 65 up he showed me his "good" car. It was a 67 GP 428 HO 4spd convertible. The car was like new with 17,000 miles on it. He bought the car new and had never driven it in the winter (that was what the 65 GP was for). He wanted a car he could street race and use to impress girls and take on dates. It didn't work well for either. I was lucky to have a couple good friends with me at the time as "witnesses" but unfurtuneately no camera.
I tryed to look him up a few years ago and he had sold the farm. I hope he still has the GP.
Thats my story and I'm stickin to it.
