Just spoke with original owner, earlier I also spoke with original salesman and a another past owner! Orig owner is a schoolteacher . Selling dealer was right across the street and he had bought a Espresso Brown 69 GTO from them. In 71, they gave him some brochures to look at and he flips to the page with the Lucerne Sport with Endura on it and says thats the one for me. Sits down with the salesman and they option out a Sport convertible . Bench seat was important because he was still single and dating and it brought the ladies closer.A/C and honeycombs and performance was very important. "Do you want a hood tach with that? Sure!" is kind of the way it went, he said. Money was no object, it was meant to be a fun car. GTO and Judge never figured into the equation.
