Like I hadn't heard that one already!

It's hard to get a full load coming out of Florida this time of year - Brian knows that & knows to stay away from the state unless he's working an auction. Don't worry, I've helped Brian with other cars & parts as well - it works both ways.

Just starting to go through the package I got with the car & couple of neat items jumped out - one is a picture of the car from the mid 90's prior to it's current paint job showing the original paint & stripes & the additional GTO decals.

The second is an editorial by the late Paul Zazarine from Musclecar Review (November 1999) about "Underdog Musclecars" as he calls them and about my car being listed in Hemmings back in 1999 - text starts in 3rd paragraph.

That is the ad that I told you about Chris. I called the guy in 1999 and have tracked the car ever since. He kept insisting to me that it was a GTO convert. as well. I also spoke to Paul Z. about it about that time. The seller, at the time, also had a 70 442 W-30 convert. and a 70 Stage 1 convert for sale in the same Hemmings issue. He wanted to sell all 3 as a package but ended up selling them seperately.
BTW. I have those previous title copies of your car if you do not have them.

Like I said before in this thread, funny how many of these cars had ALL of the GTO decals added to them at one point or another.

Jeff, I'm on my way............ Had to go play I'm the rain at Elkhart Lake this morning. Still trying to figure out what's so fun about driving a viper competition coupe around the track in a monsoon with no side windows I don't get it
