Default Brad's GTO on ebay :(

http://cm.ebay.com/cm/ck/1065-29296-...8139465&lk=URL Boy I sure hate to see this car leave our state. Nice package for someone though.

So most of you know were advertising the car for Brad's family. If anyone knows of other sites (worldwide) let us know so we can send a link. Thanks George

Yes he really did and a bit more, paid 35K for the car and another 5500 for a 5 year warranty. Place up north called Benchworks install stereo stuff in the excess of 40K, interior another 15K it took us hours to go through the invoices, you would be amazed. The engine, APS turbo system heads, cam, assembly and tuning, suspension, brakes, tires and wheels, mini tub, another 50K in parts. Some of the labor from other shops is stupid expensive. I agree it does suck what happen to him, I miss talking with him I even put the car in storage so I wouldn't have to see it daily.

Such a shame I wish I could win the lotto so I could buy it. Hopefully some passionate owner will pick it up and take care of it.

Wow that has got to be the absolute nicest GTO on the planet! I hope it sells for a good amount as i'm sure the family could use it.

I'm impressed that you already have bids. I don't think I have EVER seen a GTO bid over $40k. I'll post a link on a couple of other sites. It would be awesome to keep this car in WA.

Does that car by chance have a carbon fiber hood and the stripes are actually the unpainted carbon fiber?

Damn, what a bargain. If i had some extra $$, that would be a great car. I thought I spent to much on my hobby, small scale here in comparison.

Wow. I remember seeing that car over by your shop a couple months ago. Sounded sweet even just idling by Salatino's.

What about advertising it in hemmings? Or isn't there some kind of collector car's buy and sell mag to put it in?
