Re: awesome day 2 GTO
Car has been talked about here before. Not that nice in person and has been for sale for a while with some new owners.
 Just sold at Manheim around spring.

Re: awesome day 2 GTO
Trying to learn and just curious. I was surprised to see that this was a Candadian built car. McKeesport is very near Pittsburgh. Would it have been possible to get a Canadian built GTO delivered in the USA? Or would it have been possible for a dealer trade across the border?
Cool car - love ALL of the gauges.  Thanks!

Re: awesome day 2 GTO
To each his own, I guess but the whitewalls are killing me.
I had a '70 GTO convertible as a high school senior. Really nice piece. That's the one I still wish I had today. It had a 4 speed and the standard 400/350. That car ran REALLY well, especially considering it probably wasn't the lightest car on the road. The RA cars and the 455's must have been real beasts based on how well the 400 performed.

Do you think Sharon and her sisters would remember your car? I'll bet your goat didn't escape Bernard's attention. He has always appreciated fine motor cars. I'll bet you had the baddest ride on Park Avenue  !

[/ QUOTE ] Being such a late delivery, a dealer trade isn't impossible but more likely this car was just another result of the 1965 Auto-Pact which eliminated many automotive trade tariffs between US and Canada.. There's a lot of fine details but the meat of the agreement allowed GM and other manufacturers to schedule available units (and parts) to flow freely from whichever Canadian/US plant could supply the requested orders.. Also since this is a Canadian built car, the seller or buyer of this car may as well grab the GM Canada Vintage Service documents to 'the stack' since they'd be available anyway!. Is this where we should bring up the old debate on Oshawa built GTO's w/ factory MK1V power?. ~ Pete

Re: awesome day 2 GTO
Thanks Pete. I was thinking the same about the GM of Canada docs.
