Down the road is this place, where they restore old cars to sell. Maybe you owned one of these....

Awesome cars! My first car was a 66 GTO, same as the one above, 389 with tri-power, wicked car.

That GTO brought back memories. Had this 66 while attending high school in Connecticut. Sold it in 1982 for less than $2000. Man, I wish I knew then what I know now!

| Nice...what do you think it is worth in todays dollars...GTO conv..big $$$ I would guess...I had a few I wish I still had...What motor did it have? |

I'm guessing somewhere in the neighborhood of 30k. It had a 389 with a carter 4bbl and a 4 speed trans. With the exception of wear and tear items (tires..etc) it was an original car with 62k on the odometer when I sold it. Although, if I had kept it all these years it would probably be a rusty pile by now in need of a big $$$ restoration. ------------- Southwind 20 |

Mark, Thats some real nice Muscle Cars. They did a great restoration job on them. Here's my 68 that I restored back in 87, took it for a cruise today. Also have a 68 conv. I stripped her down and currently redoing it.
Here's my conv. 
This was my 67 first car I ever had in high school school

My father in law currently has 2 GTO's,a 65 and a 66,both convertibles and AACA winners.He recently turned down $90,000(I guess he's just not ready to sell it!) for the 66.It's a Ram Air car,4 spd,they only made 100 of them.That's almost TWICE what he paid for it three years ago. These cars have skyrocketed due to high demand,and the fact that people are tired of loosing their money in stocks,etc.They have the cash and are willing to pay for a premium piece.If you buy the right one at the right price,you can make a ton of money if you sell 'em at the right time....but you have to buy the right ones  .If you've ever been to Barret Jackson,you know what I mean.
Great off topic post.That black Impala is S-W-E-E-T.Do they allow testdrives ?

05 210 hit the nail on the head. I can't go to Barret-Jackson Arizona this year, but hope to make it to south Florida for their 07' Sale. A good friend of mine just sold a 66' GTO Convertible, fully restored for $75K...unbelievable.
MM, I know you are in O-town, where are these cars you displayed at? Are they for sale or just someone's personal collection? ------------- Heath |

My buddy down the street from here bought a 69 gtx (i believe) convertible. the guy he got it from said his friends told him it was worth $4500.00 in the condition it was in(unrestored) he gave it to him for the $4500.00.
2 weeks later he sold it to a bailsbondsmean out of Florida for $25000.00 plus a extra $1000.00 to deliver. my buddy could roll around in ---- and he always comes out smellin like a rose ------------- "the things you own will start to own you" |

Its a sore subject but I'll post my car that i always wanted since i was 18 and finally got one 5 years ago and spent 3 years re-storing. Im tearing as we speak.
I had to let it go in May due to Ohio economy, thinking about now, i dont tell my wife this, but I really dont miss it. I guess it boils down too.....the thrill of the chase and I was sick of moving it around just like the outboards I gave to the scrap man ------------- "the things you own will start to own you" |

I think its in good hands, he drove from New York with his girlfriend (again I detected that east coast accent and i quivered) I basically gave the car away, If I put a dollar amount of the time and money I put into the car even at $20.00 per hour, I would have had to get 60k for it.....I didnt. I really thought i would never part with it but life changes, oh yeah strokin is the only way to go, I'll take one over a Big Block anyday ------------- "the things you own will start to own you" |

Well it was no show car but at 18 years old it was just about everything I lived for.
1972 340 Duster 8.5:1 comp. 4speed 3:23 posi rear. 
Then Bought a friends wrecked( This should have been a warning of things to come) 69 Dart with a 10.5:1 comp 340 and swapped the engines. Not fast enough so my buddies and I bought a Duster Drag car with 12.5:1, solid cam. Swapped motors again and we mounted a tunnel ram on it. 
Dad never could understand why we cut a hole in that hood. That car got me in a lot of trouble in both the front and back seat . Got ot the point were I couldn't drive down the street without getting pulled over so I ended up selling it buying my first boat. I though, "There's no cops on the water right?" but that's another story.
PS. I have a 17 year old son who just bought his first car, I wake up from nightmares every morning at 3am.  ------------- You can’t change the wind but you can adjust your sails |

Killer ride Alan.. My dad had a 340 Demon when I was younger..My first rod was a 71' Lemans "400" Sport.. Red mind you.. Damn if the cops didn't love that car too !!
My girls saw a Dart 340 this summer in FM3 Panther Pink and told me we had to have one... Like to find an old Dart/Duster and suprise them one day.. The 340's were bullet proof back then.. Moj' ------------- 05' SV211 TE 73' Martinique had:96' SNOB had:76' Nautique had 77 Tique |

Bullet proof and simple to work on. I had more trouble with clutches than my engines. I had a clutch change by myself down to about an hour and a half. Put in heavier clutches and started bending throw out bearing forks. Lots of fun and learned a lot in the process. Only problem I ever had with the motors was wanting them to go faster and faster. ------------- You can’t change the wind but you can adjust your sails |

root, The coolest thing about that car was that I'd get in about 4am sunday from a wild night and while I was sleeping it off Dad would take the Duster to church and then for a cruise after. He did that for almost a month before I even realized it. Dad's still great, wish he lived closer so he could drive the boat around a bit. ------------- You can’t change the wind but you can adjust your sails |
