Y'know, after all my street sightings, I honestly can say I don't see many qualified "muscle cars" outside of Mustangs and Camaros; if I saw them, I would shoot them. Seeing this legendary great on the street (okay, it was in parking lot, but still) both amused, and amazed me.
Usually, I frown on red cars, but this GTO carries the hue well. I can't really explain why, but I think red is the perfect color for it. Sure, this generation looks amazing in black, but somehow this red just work. Looking this Ponch over ever so carefully, it's clear that this example is reserved for nice days. The paint looks dent and (more importantly) bondo free. All the trim is intact, and all the badges are still in their proper place. Inside, this GTO's story was much the same. All the correct interior markings were in place, the proper trim was kept intact, and no lame aftermarket pieces adorned the dash; a testament to how much the owners respect his (or her) pride and joy. No, it isn't perfect, but honestly, I don't expect it to be. While it's true that a car like this deserves to be "kept pristine", it is a muscle car. It deserves to be driven. I loved finding this, and I hope to find more great muscle cars roaming my city's streets preying on ricers.
