We were big fans of the GTO when Pontiac brought it back. Someone here needs this clean one. The asking price for fellow GRM enthusiasts is $14,500, and the car is located in Northern Virginia.

Always liked these cars and considered getting rid of my Miata to get one, but my biggest problem is that my two favorite colors (Brazen Orange and Cosmic Purple Metallic) happen to be the rarest colors they made. That and they are kind of a pain to work on under the hood.
Never got the criticism that they were "boring-looking". The original GTOs in '64-'67 were just your dad's boring old LeMans with some badges on the outside.
Didn't I read in another thread a while back that so many parts are NLA that a simple fender bender can total them? That scares me out of buying one, and I love them.
In reply to Appleseed:
Yeah, I believe it's bumpers and hoods and that stuff that is NLA, because it was North American market unique
In reply to NickD:
My buddy has one and think it was tie rod ends maybe that he had a hell of a time finding a couple years ago. There's some other wear stuff too that he's had a hard time with, or had to order from down under. Parts availability and lack of ability to fit tires wide enough for what they weigh are the two things that would keep me from owning one, but they make a hell of a grand tourer.
I looked at one a few years ago at the insurance salvage, and was curious whether a guy could order up a Holden front clip and just bolt the sheet metal on. Minimum bid was too high, so I never got even remotely serious about researching.
It would appear that Monaro conversion kits are a thing.

I want that thing so bad, but alas, bad timing. That and a full driveway. 
Had an '04, great car. My only complaint was the weight and lack of trunk space due to the gas tank.

This is what my buddy did with the wrecked GTO he bought.
that's an excellent looking SC400
