NEW POST Revere Silver 1972 455-HO GTO owned by Francois Raby from Montreal, Quebec, Canada. This Goat also has a M-22 close-ratio manual transmission and a 3.55 Posi rear end. Francois tells us more, "I found the car in a basement where it sat since 1976. I bought it in August 2006 from the first owner. It has GM of Canada documentation. Options: Ram Air, power steering, power disc brakes, rear defogger, bucket seats, console, in-dash tach, Custom Sport steering wheel and mirrors, wheelwell mouldings, glove and trunk lamps, pedal dress-up, 14x7 Rally II wheels, and no air. There is only minor rust bottom of front fenders and two pin holes in trunk. There is surface rust on rear frame and a rust free cowl, floor, rockers, and quarters! It hasn't been started since 1976. It needs a total mechanical overhaul and paint. I'm getting rid of those stickers. I will do a frame-off in 2008."

NEW POST Quezal Gold 1972 GTO hardtop owned by Henry Janzen from Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada. Henry tells us more, "The first time I laid my eyes on this car I wanted it. I told my friend if he ever wanted to sell the car I would gladly take it off his hands. As fate would have it, he was in the market for a house. I immediately bought it. That was in May 1979. I drove it for a year. My friend, the previous owner, proceeded to do some bodywork on it and then painted it. That was in 1980. The way you see it is the way I put it into storage until August 2005. That's right, it sat like that for 25 years. I never drove it. Marriage and children can do that to a person. I started it a few times over the years. When I finally decided to take the car out of storage it started on the third try and I've been driving it ever since. The fuel was even 25 years old. I have not had any problems. What a car! Visible options include rally stripes, honeycomb wheels, and chrome exhaust tips extensions splitters. Not seen options include formula steering wheel, rear window defogger, AM radio and rear seat speaker."
