Back in the early 90's I built a nice shop in the back yard of the house my first wife would later keep as her own. Good stuff went on in that shop.





Before there was a shop in my life I could however find GTO's like this all day long for $250 dollars say 1982, sweet days indeed!

Interesting that the mid-70's Chevy truck tow vehicle is already rusting badly around the rear wheel well (in '82!). My grandfather inherited his brother's '73 Chevy truck in '81 and it was already pretty far gone from rust (Pa truck) - to the point where sheet metal was pop-riveted on the quarters and rockers. These trucks were well known as unrepentent rust buckets in the Northeast.

I was always partial to the '67-72 Chevy trucks, but the next gen trucks (post 72) are hugely popular now. Some NOS pieces for those trucks are pure gold. However, from a body integrity point of view, they were absolute garbage.
