Here is my first nice GTO. Bought it summer 1977 , right before my senior year in high school, with an insurance settlement when someone totaled my 65 GTO conv. Got it from the original owner, a gal, who special ordered it in Georgia for around $2,OOO. Cardinal Red, black int 455HO WW5, M 22 side stripes, a/c, am fm st. Got it with 6O,OOO and sold it just after it flipped the odometer over when I was 21. In the 3 to 4 years I owned it, rebuilt the 455HO, swapped in an 4OOthm and drove it everywhere. When I sold it, I reinstalled the M22 and repainted it as shown. Even in 1981, the side stripes were already discontinued from the dealer. This pic was taken in 1981 right about the time I sold it for about $4,OOO . I had the original window sticker she gave me, I was smart enough to save a copy when i sold it. Not sure where the car is now. it was in Tucson the last 25 plus years, may still be there.
