Re: 1970 GTO Convertible, Triple Black, 455 Ram Air
Detailed the car up a bit last week and parked it away for the winter - still available.
  Don't worry, it's under wraps. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img]

Did this car come out of the Detroit area? Looks a lot like a local car, only curious. GLWS

Thought so...thanks for the detail! To say the least it looks like you've really put a lot of work (and $) into it.
