Sam,
I got the GTO in the spring of my senior year and they probably would not remember the car as I grew up on the other side of town.
'70 GTO convertibles bring strong money these days. Oh well, so much for hindsight! I later had a Tahoe Turquoise '67 Chevelle SS396 (black vinyl top and black interior) with the base 325 horse engine. In all honesty, I think the GTO would have out run the Chevelle.
Now I drive kids to soccer games in a Jeep Grand Cherokee. What the $!*% happened to me? It's not even a Hemi! (although it is a V8. I guess that counts for something!)
