Now I only need a porn mustache and some Journey cranking in the tape deck.
 
that would be a good time
 
It kind of fits you

Probably gets great gas mileage and wouldn't require much maintenance btw
 
I like it :up: sounds a bit expensive though

Actually did a lot of research and have a guy at work who used to own one. Of the 15 or so I have sent him he says for the condition this is the best deal.

Problem is someone is already interested in it. If the deal falls through though I may snatch it up.

Some of these cars go for 25K plus now.
 
The 400 is a great engine. My parents have two GTO's ('68 and '69 convertible) that have 400's in them. Those things rip.

For some reason, the cars in the 70's tended to rot out. Not sure how much work has been done to that one. Looks like a pretty fresh restore.

It says it has matching numbers, but there's a reason that it's priced so low. I just can't tell from the pics.

GTO's are amazing but out of my price range right now. I can probably swing 15-18K...just really want a Trans Am...no idea why. Maybe I am going through someone else's midlife crisis, considering I was barely born when this thing came out.

If you look at the other cars that lot has, they are all priced just a bit below what you'd expect. Maybe they just like the turnaround and are willing to give up that money in order to sell cars, I don't know. If I look at in person I am going to bring my buddy from work, guy knows more about cars than Bread knows about hangovers.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was parted together. Something isn't right.
 
money just imagine us riding that solving crimes, saving people
 
Haha. I grew up with classic muscle cars. That was my dad's hobby.

I used to help him rebuild engines, do body work, you name it.

The '69 convertible is all black with a 6 pack. Front wheels come off the ground if you stomp on it. Beautiful, fun car.
 
oh

now i am really jealous
