Ron "built" a bunch of early GT0's in the late 80's up into mid to late 90's, dabbled in later GTO builds (at least one early Lucerne blue 71 Judge... Uncle Judge & I know it). Not sure how much later Ron kept going. Been in & out of a BUNCH of restoration/body shops since, the most organized ones are the ones that gave me ideas that I incorporated putting up my own shop. Do remember Ron's place as a long narrow old school shop, multiple garage doors, some concrete block walls, lot of native trees around the place as well as future projects & partscars.

That is awesome, THANKS for the info! It looked to be "middle-America" so I was thinking maybe tennessee, arkansas, etc. Now I know "the rest of the story...".
Makes sense it would be restored around this area, that is only about 100 miles east of Tulsa (where car was first sold) and I sold the car in Stillwater (about 180 miles west of Rogers). Now I just need to find out how it got to Connecticut and Napoli Classics!
