This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Wow - and I thought my car was in bad shape after being in storage for 19 years. Hell, compared to some of them, mine's in great shape!

    Some of those cars would be rare beauties if someone had the time and money to work some magic. Thanks for the pics!

    You want to see rotting away?? Check this out, #'s matching 72 GS 455 low option (variable p/s'ing, posi, rally suspension) gold hardtop. Still have not decided what to do with it after 5 years...

    Perfect buildsheet too. Another one on top of the gas tank, I can see it through the trunk floor.

    Terminal cancer. :ball:

    Small, Small World we live in. I looked at Page #11, a '70 GTO, in Saint John, N.B.
    I could swear the owner lived beside us back in the mid-'70's. This is a dead-end road off Sandy Point Rd., in the North End of town. First pic shows a wooden dumpster. Small store to the left, not seen, was where my mother worked part-time.
    Second pic, to the right, was our house. Accessed by another road.
    Owner was John Stephen. He later had a '66-67 GTO in the front yard of his mom's house. He always had a '68 or '69 Beaumont he was playing with.
    This was 1975.

    Looks like the perfect resto project to me. Remember any sheet metal can be replaced! Projects like that are great, they just cost a little more to complete. We have to save these cars as they are quickly getting rarer as people are passing them over and others are parting them out or crushing them. :ball:

    I know, but I've already saved several of these cars such as my ragtop and several 71's that have now been sold. Why spend 20K in metalwork alone(plus everything else) and all the hassles that go with trying to find sheetmetal for a car that will be barely worth that when done.

    It was for sale for several years, the only offers I got were a joke so it sits...

    If i was super rare or valubale, might be worth the effort. But its not.

    Thats the way it goes.

    Sorry to say it but I think your wrong! These cars are super rare and anything 70-72 big block is fetching big money, especially #'s matching.

    I suggest that you should put a post on this board in "the bench" forum and get some opinions of what this car is worth and who might want it. Then if you still don't want to do the resto, sell it on the "cars forsale" forum and let someone who will restore give it what it deserves.
