One of my favorite models I don't have. I sure would love to add it to my collection.

Great pics as always John. Hope you are not burning the candle at both ends and staying safe in these pandemic times.

John

Something about this one keeps tugging at my mind. I knew this was a rare one but isn't there something else? Like maybe this one was made for "Vicki's Gifts" or something along this line of thought?

David Trask, it's a GMP model, so doubt it was through Vickies Gifts.

David, the GTO you're thinking of is the triple white 1972 made for Vicki's Gifts. I remember

Brian showing it to me. It's listed in the Car List and Reviews section. Apparently only 200 of the 1000 ordered were made due to production issues.

Thanks Pete

I knew I wasn't crazy, just a little short on the facts. And I'm sure that those who did manage to acquire one have a valuable piece.
