1968 Pontiac GTO

Not a new GTO, but in '79 I look at a one for sale 'as in' for $350. Green, real clean, new convertible top, interior real good minus a small tear in drivers seat, only boldy flaw was a little rust above the wheel well openings on the rear. Owner had a new clutch put in it and after about 4+ months the car wouldn't move. I'm looking around the rear of the car with the owner and my brother is poking around with a flashlight in the hood compartment. Bro calls me over as says firmly, in a low tone, buy the car NOW! So I did and said we would be back tomorrow to take it.

We show up with a tool box and while I completed the paper work with the owner in his kitchen my brother starts the car and backs it out of the garage. The owner was steaming and asked what my brother did. The bellhousing had backed away from the block. He was frustrated that we didn't point it out to him. Oh well LOL. Sold it a short time later to a friend.
