Hi everyone. I'm new here to this site. What a great site. Can't believe all the info that is available. About 2 years ago, I gave my oldest son my '67 GTO that I had owned for 34 years. I restored it in 1985 and the restoration held up well, but he wanted to do it over again, which he did. He did a beautiful job with it and I kind of miss it. So, I've been thinking about buying another one. The years I'm looking at would be '71-'72 and I would prefer a convertible but I would consider a nice hardtop. The car has to be complete, all factory/original and done. I have little to no desire in restoring another car. I don't mind doing a little something or some TLC. I've looked at different sites on line and see that there are many out there. If anyone has a site for me to look at or they have a personal car for sale, please advise. I've just begun my search so please don't be offended if I don't buy your car; at least not right away. Thank you very much, Carmine.

According to "GTO Heaven" production numbers there were only 678 GTO convertibles made in '71 and none in '72.

True, no GTO convertibles in 1972 but you could build a LeMans up the same way a GTO would have been.

What's your budget?

Although not a GTO it looks like a decent one on CL about an hour and a half from me...Has the T41 nose so throw some emblems on it to make a clone and get back into the hobby relatively cheap.

I don't really have a budget. I can be very difficult to please at times, but if I see a car and want it, and it's what I consider reasonable, then I would end up buying it. The car has to have a certain appeal to me. Crazy as it sounds, I have to be able to relate to it somehow. Not meaning to, I've acquired a small car collection which I have been down sizing somewhat. Cars have always been a passion of mine. I think a '71-'72 GTO would round things out nicely. I look at various sites almost every day and have made a few inquiries but nothing has jumped out at me yet. I have no regrets giving my son my '67 because I did have it for 34 years and it's still in the family. In the past I've owned 3 GTO's and I do miss having one. So, I'll keep looking and see where it takes me.
I want to thank everyone on this site for their help. I started to develop an interest in a members car, but it was sold, Carmine.
