If it was a 4-speed car it would have been more intriguing, but I agree not a terrible buy. It is a 455 Admiralty blue with a red interior, which is very cool to me, but I'ma sucker for red interiors. Green and red draw very hard opinions, just like convertible vs. hardtop. If I owned this car I'd put a 73 nose, valance and paint it whatever your favorite 70-73 color is. I'm turning my 80 T/A into a 71 Lucy blue clone with the stripe. It does have t-tops, which are a giveaway, but I don't care. This is a hardtop. Really cool car.

The metalwork changing the rear is quite involved.

Agreed. Not a pure clone, but an 80 turbo T/A red interior (with T-tops WS6) rear and a 72 front end. I have all the stuff and a lot of it is NOS or mint original. I realize it's sacrilege and this "freak" should be stoned to death,... meh. It'll look so cool. Contemplating painting it 1980 T/A maroon with the reddish chicken. ...someday?

I wouldn't change a thing except the red interior...lol...different strokes ✌

I looked about at other cars that had the 79-81 rear and 70-73 front: the later rear ends had a real blocky ass that simply did not go with the very rounded fronts of the early 2nd gens. The rear bumpers with those weird "pads" made it that much worse.

Changing the rear tin was not as difficult as it looks - easier than swapping in replacement quarters I thought.

Gotta believe it's mostly due to the LQ4/700R4 and custom interior.

That, and Gateway and the like are asking ridiculous sums.

Here's a fun odd duck. A one of 215 69 GTO convertible in Warwick blue with a blue top at $70K in Florida. Looks about as original as possible, but it's rare for the wrong reason... originally a 2bbl GTO. This kind of car is too nice for me. I would not drive this car if I had it. What fun is that? I do love the 8-track.

That patina rocks though. It took some coin to build this car. I wouldn't have started with a 71 Ventura, but it's damn nice. Looks like it sold for less, or they just pulled the listing.

To each his own I guess but not for me. I'll admit the interior is nice.
