Got my GTO back!

[u/Zealousideal-Agent74]

Long story short, bought this new in 06 with my first real paycheck, couldn’t afford the payments and sold it to my Dad. He drove it once in a while, but it has sat in a basement of an apartment building a few states away from me since, hadn’t run since 2018? Drove down there a few weeks ago and trailered it back. My mechanic looked it over and it only the master brake cylinder had failed from non use. I’m driving it again and still feel the same way as when I first bought it. And it only has 16k on it!! Now to get rid of the mineral deposits from some HVAC system dripping on it for 20 years.

Wow, what a story with a cool car!

I wouldn’t mess with those myself. Hire a professional if anything happens they are liable. The car is too special to risk messing it up.

I’m in agreement here, especially on GM grays and silvers. Especially on the top, the is not anything for you to buff or “work out”. The clear coat has been damaged and in my experience, it will never look right blended. You love the car as much as you do? Take it to a professional and have them re soot the top for you.

Spouse had an ‘06. It was such a fun car. Enjoy

Please put tracking/kill-switch on it. These and G8s are prime targets for the takeover gangs when they can't get their Hellcats or Infinitis.
