[GTO JOHN]

My friend Paul and I were vending at the All-GM Car Show here in Minneapolis earlier this month when a man approached Paul about buying a '69 GTO that a friend of his had for sale. The GTO had languished in a trailer park for the past year after he lost storage. The car was bought in California 26 years ago, brought to Minnesota and never really driven much again. It had been off the road since he hit a fire hydrant while under the influence back in the 80's. The car runs and drives and the asking price was very attractive for a virtually rust free body and chassis. Original YS block, TH400 trans, and 3.23 posi are all present. Paul made the deal, and drove it home. Four days later he got the PHS back: Expresso Brown, Gold Interior, Fremont built, with 33 Factory Options!!

Paul drove the car out to the Minnetonka Drive In last Thursday and attracted quite a crowd with his "Rat Muscle" look.
