\"GTO\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I stumbled across this wrecked 1967 Pontiac GTO rolling down the auction line this week. What a find this car is! With little more than 7,000 GTO Coupes manufactured in 1967, this is a rare find indeed. The damage isn’t as bad as it looks and as the old saying goes,” If it’s hit in the rear, most likely it was running down the road.” At a current bid in the $10K range, I knew instantly I needed this article to be worth $10K. No such luck yet, hence no GTO yet. I’m working on it.<\/p>\n
