absolutely stunning, I love the color combo, thanks for all of the pictures and the great info provided.

I also agree with you that this is a great resource of good guys sharing information about these cars.

I too would be lost without all of the help from these guys!

Well winter is over and I am back on the GTO again fixing some odds and ends from my maiden voyage last fall.
My speedo needle broke off and I have a new speedo to install.
I am hoping someone on here has a easy magical way to replace this.
My car has factory A/C with an aftermarket radio/cd player in the glove box.
Its going to be a drawn out ordeal just to pull the dash and cluster.
I been putting this off.
Any easy way of doing this?

Default Best of Show

I took the GTO out of hibernation from the long winter and headed out to a car show.
Out of about 150 cars the GTO took Best of Show. Needless to say I was overjoyed!

That's the kind of trophy you have to take apart to get it home. LOL

Congrats Dominic.

A goodfriend of mine, Mike Mauro took the time to shoot my GTO.
Mike considers himself an amateur photographer but I would put him on a level of any professional. His work is amazing. We set out on a Thursday night at dusk and headed into Philadelphia. Once the sun went down, his magic began!

I like the last picture the most! I have said it before but it bears repeating; that is one beautiful automobile!

I listed my GTO on Ebay.
I love this car and owned it since 1982 but I want to embark on another project and restoration so this has to go

This is the first I saw this. Great ebay ad and the car looks great!

Did you sell? The auction was ended by the time I saw it.

Somehow I missed this thread and have never seen pics of this car before. It is absolutely beautiful.
Please inform us when it comes up for auction. I'd love to catch the broadcast if possible.

Trying to pay the 750.00 premium for a Saturday afternoon prime time slot but it might be too late for that. I am waiting a call back from Mecum
