Default 67 GTO Story (Pontiac Foundry version)

I have heard many stories in 40 years with GM but one puzzler was the 67 GTO that was found on Pontiac Plant property by a fork lift driver who made a wrong turn.

The orange foundry dust covered classic was literally buried near the foundry and was not found for many years after it was driven off final assembly

thats about all I heard for sure but I think I can assume that it was hidden because it was crashed somehow and the driver hid it to save his job

Assunption 2 is that it was taken to the Engineering building to be torn down so that each engineer in the bldg could get a look at how well a car and its parts stand up to the elements for a dozen years

One tricky part is ownership..........Did GM collect on insurance?

And of course......... who wanted to own it?

sigh more stories to come
