Greetings guys; I believe I seen & talked with the owner of this fine automobile back in 2014-15 (?) at Car Craft Nat's? It was the GTO seats that got my attention & did again today. As some of ya know I've been trying to sell the Bronze brick for some time with no success! And as time passes I may try to sell my be Loved GuTOo. And if that comes to be I want to install GTO seats. They are very thick & make the back useless, but so what. That being said I would welcome picking the brain of someone that has done this already. So if you're on this wonderful site please chime in. Ole' Bob.

Bob,
I'm also drawn to those seats. I'm sure they're not easy to come by. The fact that you are familiar with the seats and how they feel, etc.

Btw, that car was well thought out and well put together.

I think that sold recently at Greensboro Auto Auctions for 15k+. The first pic looks familiar.

I kind of want to make sweet love to it....

Nice car but I highly suspect the 700hp number is true.

Maybe they used beer math to figure it out. Lots of "high" horse power motors even if the dyno says different.

Ya I just don't see it, that means it has 3x the power of a Grand National or is equal to a Hellcat? I don't think so.

Why is that hard to believe? 700hp isn't exactly hard to come by for a build of a certain quality. In crate for, Blueprint Engines sells several motors over 700hp for around 18k. Just google "Hendrick performance" whom is which I think built the motor (they may have done the entire vehicle).

GTO seats aren't hard to come by. Just go on ebay and you'll find a set for sure. You can search craigslists and facebook marketplace and maybe find some there as well.

The car was at an auction last year and the highest bid was WAY over 15k lol. Double that and add some. It's online. I don't think the car sold because the seller wanted more money, but I can't be sure on that one.
