By vintage I was referencing the musclecar era as generally from 64-70, with the GTO being included up to '74. Vintage also isn't exclusively "old" but rather something of value, that continues to increase in value, but is no longer in production, just like a fine wine.

I think the best one yet was a guy driving a 1 ton dually dodge spun around waved yelled nice ride and made a left hand turn in front of a windstar . The windstar took the duals out from under the dodge . No one was hurt . When I saw it happen I pulled over and waited for the police . when they got there . One of the first things they said is that your car there . Yes sir I can see what happened . two days later a guy turned around I saw him wave , the light had turned red the cars in front of him stopped I heard the unearthly howling of tires I didn't stop . And the beat goes on but as hard as I try to I can't even pick out a new GTO going down the road all I see are the GP s or what ever they are . we actually have 2 left over new 04s still sitting on a local lot and only one dealer in our area ordered in an 05 .when these Three cars Pictured below are together it's hard to get a pic of them because there is always a crowd around them . and when we cruse them together . Now that's fun

Please...I've gotten just as many if not a bit less comments in the 70...but then again I don't drive it every day!

I get a whole lot more rubber-necking, callouts & thumbs-up with the new car than with my Trans Am. The TA has a much higher "cool factor" in my opinion, but even with the shaker and big fat racing stripe many people don't even notice it or they mistake it for some other car. Comments I've heard are:
"What year is your Camaro?"
"Shouldn't it have two stripes?"
"Why did you paint it blue? Those are all supposed to be black and gold."
"Nice Shelby."

So far no one has mistaken my GTO for anything else and it's received nothing but godlike praise. Could be the countless coats of polish.
