I grew up on Muscle cars. I first had a 1934 Ford. Then I got
a 1949 Mercury. These were great first cars but when I drove the 1969 GTO I fell
in love with it. It was a great muscle car and I had to have it. So I told my
wife this is going to be our next car. We bought it right off the dealer
showroom floor. At that time it cost me $4,628.00 - what a deal!
The GTO had been in my garage for 25 years when I started the
restoration. It took me three years. It has a 400 engine and a turbo 400
transmission with the stock rear end. I went back to the original paint color on
the car. The only change was going from 14 inch rims to 15 inch ones.
I loved the car when I first got it and I still love my GTO -
the GREAT muscle car.
