Default Re: 1971 Pontiac GTO Survivor For Sale

Thanks guys...I spoke with the original owner today (google is great) who was very excited to hear the car was still around. He was a state trooper at the time and the union told them which dealership to go to "to get the best deal". He owned the car up until the early 80's and didn't put that many miles on it because he "had the state vehicle, so I didn't need it much." His wife drove it for a while, but they ended up getting her a small car that got better mileage. Sold it to a buddy of his who had always asked about it, "who sold it 3 weeks later for more money - I don't talk to him any more!"

He said he ordered it in the winter and picked it up in April - it was just like one of the cars in the catalogue, it was turning a corner driving up a hill and he said that was the one he wanted.

He's going to look for some old pictures of it this weekend, and we hope to get together next week.
