Here is yet another 70-72 GTO I built and enjoyed before selling it. This is another vintage Pontiac I saved from the crusher and is an original '71 455 d port GTO. I bought it as a hulk at a west Phoenix wrecking yard as it was about to be crushed. The engine, trans, most of the int, glass and front clip was gone. It was originally Cardinal red and had a/c and pw, disc brakes, etc. I located a correct 71 YC coded 455 and proceeded to rebuild the entire car, this was around 1986. Most of my friends thought I was nuts buying such a stripped carcass but, it was a real 455 GTO and I could not let it die. I was about 27 at the time. The hulk was completely rust free and not wrecked. It was just parted prior to me buying it.
Here it is in my garage being lovingly built to live another life.
