Here is my project 70 GTO. My first GTO since I was a kid back in 1986. It's nice having a goat back in my garage. When I went to pick it up in Oklahoma three years ago, the owner told me that he found it in a barn where it had been sitting for about five years since the owner (Son) was in the military. Then the guy I bought it from said he has had it sitting in his garage since 1990 waiting to be restored. I am currently about half way through the restoration. I paid $2500 for her 3 years ago.
It is a 455 with auto and air conditioning.

First two pics is when I took her off the trailer and roller her into the garage for the first time. The others are with all the rust and dents repair complete and the second coat of primer filler. One more good layer of primer filler, board sanding with 600 grit and a final coat of primer sealer and then she is ready for the frame to be pulled for sandblasting and powdercoating.

Here is mine in the final stages, the interior, vinyl top and wiring is happening now and hopefully the front clip will go on next week and the rest of the chrome. Then it's going to the muffler shop and then to the alignment shop;
She is a work in progress daily type driver, but very clean nonetheless. She is all numbers matching and is a family pass on car. I really love driving this car; it gets a lot of looks..........
You all have some really great looking goats, I hope mine gets up there one of these days.
Take care.
