Re: "All Out Original 72"
I love what you are doing and I know you said that there would be a few miles put on this truck but I have to ask after this much work how do you drive them when your done with this perfection? Drive like stolen or push around with white gloves?

Re: "All Out Original 72"
I have a factory original, un restored, 69 GTO with a little over 18,000 actual miles. When I first got it in 94 it had 17,700 miles on it. Just loading and unloading at car shows has added the extra miles. I have driven it a few miles around town before, but the stress is just too much! The car has been appraised at $350k, because it's supposed to be the lowest mileage GTO documented, so yes my tale gets a little tight if someone even looks at it! LOL !
I will drive the truck a little, and yes I will get in it's arse a little to see what it's got, but after that it will be slow gooo! I must say after all the vehicles I have built through the years, I really hate to even start the engine on this one! It has really turned out nice. Thanks for the input!!!! |

Re: "All Out Original 72"
I wanted to scan some pics, and download them, of the car, but my printer/scanner will not work anymore....da&%it. It's Liberty blue, with black vinyl top, black interior. and a bench seat. 350hp/400, with a 400 turbo. Still sitting on the original tires from 69, double white walls, 2 fine lines. They are not dry rotted at all! It stayed in a garage with heat and air, so there was no deterioration to any of the rubber. Was my grandfather's car, he ordered it new! I have ALL documentation, still have the original title. Kinda odd for sure...

Re: "All Out Original 72"
I'm guessing this thread is done as far as truck progress updates go, too bad.
