The flake paint on this 1969 GTO convertible is called Ruby Slippers. It's owned by Paula & Dennis Gooden from Lancaster, Kentucky. Paula tells us, "We found this beauty high in the mountains of Colorado in 2003. Sounds too good to be true? You're right! Back then it was bright Ford Purple, and in need of serious TLC. It has had a complete off-frame restoration, including a custom paint job which is PPG Liquid Crystal. The GTO came equipped with all the luxuries available then: P/W, P/B, P/S, etc. Also notice the retro Cragars. Just one of the great things about this car is the fact that it had no rust, and no body damage of any kind. After all the work done, we're finally getting to enjoy 'Her.' Hope you do too!"CLICK-> 
Lots of modifications under the hood.CLICK->

NEW POST As the sun and viewing angle changes, so does the color of Paula Gooden's Ruby Slipper 1969 GTO convertible. Paula adds, "To all GTO owners: At the risk of sounding like a prude, or sour grapes... What does it take to be seen or recognized when posting to this site? As a female owner of a beautiful 1969 GTO convertible that has had a total off-frame restoration, I refuse to spread myself across the hood of my car to get the attention that my car truly deserves! Don't get me wrong; I have all the T&A, but love my car too much to do that to her. Please remember when you're posting to the site that there are women around who can do, and be more than just a hood ornament! I am also tired of seeing the same cars over and over each month. Give other people, and their cars a chance to be seen and highlighted. I really do hope that this site is open
minded, and posts this. If not... Oh well. If interested, the pictures I've posted are of the same car, just taken at a different angle. Pretty sharp if I say so myself! Hope others get to see it. Thank You."CLICK->
