Dear Illustrious Goat members,

I have decided to trade my 05 GTO back for my 74 Trans Am with a 455 engine and 400 turbo transmission. The numerous difficulties as you know I have had has predicated this move. Saturday , I will close the deal. The dealer will pay 16000 for the car and I know that is low but unfortunately, as many of you new GTO owners know, the values have dropped drastically in the past 12 months. I wish I could say I was 100% sure to lose the GTO, cause I am not. But I do know I there are parts of me that do love this car. The modern GTO is such a misunderstood car for most, but a great car that deserves a place in Auto history. I hope that day comes. But for now, I will return to the sure thing that is a collector car.

I'll stay in touch and let you know what happens.
You all are great....Thanks.

Frank

Frank,
Sorry to read that the problems with your GTO have lead to this decision.... but, understandable. Overall the TA provides a happy ending.

Good luck!

You guys are great-always have been.

I meet tomorrow at 8 am for the trade, but I still reserve the right to refuse of course.
Regardless I will still be here on this forum. After all, it is a Pontiac.

I'll let you know and I'll post pics of the TA as well.

Just like the screaming chicken on the TA hood, I chickened out of the deal so I am still a goat.
The TA needed too much work and money and I suppose, I'm not yet willing to part with the GTO despite the difficult times we have had. Perhaps with the new main brain, my safety mode issues are over.
