Nice stuff Dave ! Here is a pic of my 71 T/A 455 HO 4 speed . My UPS driver knows I'm into cars and informs me about a as he put " a mid 70's T/A" so I called the number he gave and it turns out to be a 71 T/A blue on blue 455 HO - 4 speed. 8 track matching numbers with 45 on it . In 2004 I paid 4500 knowing it was one of 83 made and in orig paint knew it was a homerun . I pulled subframe to detail engine and trans , Gardner EX , new lines , installed subframe and sold it in orig paint ( checked but orig ) for 33 k on e-bay . When the guy came over he also bought this 70 GTO shell for 10 K. I had a total of 9 k in T/A It came with Honeycomb rims as well as orig spare H/C never on gound , I installed 5-spoke for the month I had it but sold with orig rims

That TA is awesome and what a great find! I went through a GTO phase back in the 90's had a 70 and a 72 conv 400 4spd that car that was one of about three hundred. Even had a 74 GTO (ventura style) that had a 400 with the shaker hood and a hatch back lol. Was actually a pretty rare car as well, kinda wish I kept the 72.
