I first owned the GTO in 1980 and sold it when I went in the service. Really long story but located it in that shed and got it back about 6 years ago. At the same time I owned the GTO (1980) one of my best friends had a 68 Coronet with a 440 4speed. It was not a true SB but was painted yellow with a black top. Spent a ton of time racing each other and hanging out in each others cars. I always enjoyed his car as much as mine. That car prompted me to start looking for a SB or a RR when I finished the Goat.

The RR is actually in quite a bit better shape than it first appears. It has been on a rotisserie in a guys shop for the last 10 years. The original 383/auto has been gone through by a local shop. It came with almost all the parts along with quite a bit of new stuff. It is missing a few things (almost like there is a box of parts in his shop someplace we missed, he is looking for it now). There is zero rust and it is really straight with the exception of one small dent in the rear quarter. It was originally white with a red/burgundy interior and from what I am hearing the red interior was not that common.

Where abouts in NorCal are you? I am in Martinez, the car has been all over NorCal. I purchased it from a guy in Redding who traded a car to a guy in Turlock for it 10 years ago. Classic case of how guys get in over their heads-it it real easy to tear them apart but not so easy to put them back together.

like your title of you location lol
