In my senior year of HS (1983) I worked as an intern at Krogers Erie marketing division HQ in Solon, OH and met a great lady with a green 69 GTO. Fell in love with that car.
In 1987, sold my daily driver and wanted a muscle car and found a 1972 GTO at a used car dealership. Test drove a better condition and cheaper 63 Ford Galazie but the red 72 GTO just wouldnt let me go. So $4,750 later it was mine.
Turned out that the dealership owner's son was also into 71-72 GTOs and his bestfriend was the then husband of the lady I worked with in 1983 who had the 69 GTO. Small world.
Still have the 72 and other GTOs. Still in love with all of them despite ignoring them for years to chase a Wall Street career. Making up for lost time now with them. Hence all the questions I post for help and advise, which I appreciate greatly all your replies!
