GTV Reincarnation

67GTV · #1 (**permalink**) 02-13-2003, 02:07 AM

Well there goes my first '67 GTV off to the boneyard. This was last Saturday. I hear that she's already stripped. I'll be getting a trailer full of parts this weekend.

She will be resurrected as a street-rod soon.

P.S. cop car = bad neighborhood

Sad to see and old classic butchered

There are just sooo few left on the streets
these days.

At least she didnt go to the crusher

Bad neighbor? I have one of those, loud
parties, rents all the rooms out in his
house, lots of trash in the yard, etc, etc.
The next time he has a party, I think I'll
unbolt the exhaust on the Alfa, and tune her
at about 5AM

Kai,

Why was that car going to the boneyard? It looks like it is in good shape?

This GTV needed a lot of work! Fortunately, my wife 'allowed' me to buy the white one rather than pour money and time into the red one.

Damn, these guys are fast!

I'm kinda confused, are you parting it out, then sending the body to the junk yard? Or did you send it out for body restoration?

If you don't want it, I can always fit it in my backyard.

OK Kai,

Were coming to save her from the crusher.

Where is she at?

Sorry, I should not have mentioned a boneyard. I thought I mentioned this some where. I sold the red GTV and I got the parts. The new owner is local and was mainly interested in the body. He plans on turning it into a street rod, as it were. Hopped up 2 liter and who knows what else. I'm hoping to follow its transformation. I was hesitant to part out the car. But as previously mentioned, I am happy that I'm not sending her to a true boneyard.

I know another guy that sold this kind of street rod/GTA replica for well over $10k. (Pictured below) If anyone wants to see more pictures of this one, I can post them.

Yep, Peter has her now. How'd you know?

Btw, Peter got a steal compared to what I paid Nathan for her. I allowed myself to get hosed in that deal. But, I've got a ton of spare parts out of this latest deal.

Cutting out the cancerous rust.

Notice the pictures on the wall? No need to be PC in this shop.

See the mechanic wondering what the hell I was doing taking pictures?
