December 2018 Legend GTOAA Magazine

Have to give a heads up about this one. The guy who painted my Grand Prix back in 2005-ish and long (long) time family friend Tim is on the cover of this month's GTOAA The Legend Magazine... I've seen this car in person a few times and its pretty damn nice. That first pic is at my parents farm where it was stashed for a while. I'm sure Dad had some input and hands on time with the car, too....

The December 2018 issue of The Legend features Tim Pittz’s 1970 Verdoro Green Ram Air III GTO, a restored “hidden gem” that had been placed in a storage facility after 20 years as a daily driver. The original owner had thought about a restoration, but 20 years later, after he had died, his widow found the long-forgotten Goat after she came across a stack of storage facility receipts when she was cleaning out his desk. By that time, the car was a basket case, so she placed it for sale on eBay. Restoration hobbyist Tim Pitz of TC Classics in Mineral Point, Wisconsin, bought it and restored it to its multi-optioned glory. This GTO, one of only 226 built, features a RAM Air III 400, M21 four-speed, 3:90 Safe-T-Track rear, heavy-duty suspension and radiator, AM radio, console, vanity mirror, Rally II wheels with trim rings, and a light saddle interior. It’s a GTOAA Concours Gold winner (2017 GTOAA Nationals). Tim may be looking to sell it in 2019 or 2020, so jot this number down for TC Classics: 608-574-6418.


Also in the December issue: “2019 Convention Corner” with Don Kruse; “Norwalk 2018” with G. Tom Oxler; “What Was I Thinking” with Mark Weidmayer; “Goats on the Block” with Chuck Catalano; and “The Deserving” with Terri Nichols.


All this and more—classified ads, the GTOAA Club Store, etc.—in the December 2018 issue of The Legend, the only national automotive magazine devoted exclusively to Pontiac’s Great One!

I love how green was all the rage in 68-70, but everyone that "restores" them changes them to red....nice to see him keep it original.

Once upon a time, I owned a 70 Judge....and later a 69 GTO 'vert

I'm not a huge fan of the GTO, or the color green.... I do have to say, that car is gorgeous! we see so many of these hidden treasure cars sold off for scrap by family members that don't realize their value.I'm glad this car was saved, and that he was able to bring it back to it's former glory!
