Default 72 GTO Survivor

So my neighbor down the street who is a Ford guy invites me to his house for a small car show last night that he was hosting for some of his friends. Thinking it would be mostly Fords I wandered over with the Chevelle.

When I get there this 72 GTO is sitting in the driveway.

400, 4 speed, 3:55 posi. 63,xxx miles Code 26 blue with a white vinyl interior and black carpet and black vinyl top.

Original owner car, all factory and dealer delivery paperwork from day 1, ordered and bought new in Oak Lawn, all original factory paint (really nice), all original factory white interior with original black carpet. Car was judged a freeze frame at Bloomington Survivor show last year. Only part that is not factory is the paint on the engine, it was repainted several years ago, exhaust, belts and hoses, and repop tires. Really neat time capsule. Pictures do not do it justice, it was getting dark and all I had was my phone camera. With that many miles the car was preserved amazingly well. He still drives it to a bunch of shows throughout the Midwest every summer.
