My 1970 GS455 circa 1982.
With 80,000 original miles, unmolested and original, some rust and some dents. When I bought it she had whitewall JC Penny tires, K-Mart mufflers, and the owner was selling it because he couldn't find leaded premium gas anymore. It had original paint, with a/c, power windows, power door locks, tilt wheel, AM/FM stereo, rear defog, power bucket seat, this thing probably weighed 4000 lbs.
Stone stock, untouched engine, with exhaust manifolds, gummed up Q-Jet, ram air foam worn away, and a leaking water pump that some Bar's Leaks fixed, I drove this around daily, and I loved it. The stirrup shifter on the console, the way the shift indicator moved on the dash, the comfortable seats and ride, great car.
My favorite all-time "other brand" car.
