Bought my 70 gto in 86 for 1500.00,,all original drive train ,,had 39000 actual miles. 455 4 speed with 3.31 posi 12 bolt. Recently painted it back to its original mint turquoise and the original 69 judge stripes. The 2 cars I wish i bought was a very nice original paint 69 judge in 1982 for 1500.00,,didnt buy it because the starter would sometimes not work correctly. And a mint 69 shelby GT500,,,red with black interior,,,auto 428. If I remember correctly he wanted like 7k which I just didnt have. Many more I wish I hadnt passed on but those stick out the most.
Got in contact with the original owner in 86 and she sent me a pic of the car when it was new,,,its in my sig. With some digging I found her name again and contacted her about a week ago. Let her know I just restored the car back to factory color and sent her a pic of it and a copy of the original pic she sent me. Shes now 70 years old and was excited to see the pics,,told me her father signed for her on high school graduation day at 17 years old for the brand new gto at a local pontiac dealership. I guess she got in trouble and around 2 years later he made her trade it in on a beetle.
