I bought my '65 GTO in the Spring of '76 when I was 20 yrs.old. My brother who now has the car noticed it in a driveway near our house. It was unregistered, but the owner, a police officer said it was for sale. We agreed on a price of $850.00 however, the plot now thickens. Technically, the cop was not the owner, his brother in law was. Reason being was that the cop who worked in Grand Theft Auto pulled over some kids in the car and the car turned out to be a stolen vehicle from Mass. The cop wanted the car for himself so he called the rightful owner and lied about the car's condition! A few yrs. later, I contacted the original owner and he confirmed that the cop told them that the car was painted green and drastically modified. They didn't want the car any longer but the cop was not allowed to purchase the car from the pound, so he made his brother-in law buy it. Apparently, he never registered it, and when I bought it we had to go the NYC Armory to have a new VIN # placed on the car( on the frame, under the driver's side trunk pan).
Like I stated earlier, the car now resides in N.J. with my brother.
