I went to a local car show Saturday night. Driving into the show I spotted a 71 GTO vert. After I parked I made a bee line straight to the car and spotted 455 HO stickers on it. The car looked all original but was absolutely filthy. The owner said he owned the car for twenty years and it was untouched except it may have previously been repainted. To my amazement he didn't know about decoding the trim tag or that the 24267 stood for Pontiac division GTO convertible. He did however know it was one of 27 1971 455s HO made with an auto transmission. After conversing with him for about 5 minutes I left because he didn't seem interested. I guess its still bugging me this morning that someone could own a vehicle like that and could care less about it. Also I had to point out to him the vin on his window registration sticker was missing the 4 that was on the vin which is visible through the windshield.
