I bought this car in July of 2014 and drove it daily for about 20 months. One day, I was heading to bowling and crested a hill, when the woman driving a Chevy Venture van was STOPPED in front of me. Her tail lights weren't working and I blasted the back of her van...essentially totalling my GTO. I kept the car, took the insurance payout and rebuilt it, using a totalled car I acquired online. In 2017, the motor let go. My friends and I rebuilt it and did some mods to the engine. Then in 2018, I spun a bearing on cylinders #4 and #6. Also at this time, I was looking to buy a home; but my father had a stroke. My parents wanted me to move back in with them, so I could help them / my father. Instead of buying a home, I had the motor of my GTO rebuilt. This was the start of the restoration / rebuilding of this GTO to what I feel G.M. should have done to this car...

Crazy story! Glad you kept the car and decided to restore. Those GTOs are future classics.

Sick GTO! Must’ve been heartbreaking when you crashed it. Looks like you did a great job fixing it
