sorry, after all the weirdo's that keep saying mopar or no car, I had to throw it in.

Justin will have to figure this one out.
Truthfully I don't like GTO's. Just see it as stepping backwards a lot by condition and usefulness . Old 99 car with 3 speed or 06 car with 6 speed.

At minimum buy the 99 off a loan as a 2nd car.

Don't lie Don your a closet Mustang guy! Ha-ha.

Totally agree with what you are saying though. If I could swing a loan I would.

The good thing about the SS is the trans, rear etc are all pretty bullet proof.

Unfortunately my GTO trans will need a rebuild sooner than later at some point, the stock driveshaft isnt going to hold and who knows about the stock rear differential. GTO stuff is just as pricey as Corvette stuff lol.

But I did take it out the other day and it is a very very fun car to drive and you did an amazing job building and tuning it.

Oh it definitely doesn't justify it at all. It's really the sentimental value of it. If I don't hear back from the interested buyer this week (he was getting settled into a new house) then the gto is staying put and getting some sticky tires put on it.

Oh and I will probably have to come see you about installing a battery cut off switch in the back.
