    Let’s see, the owner died of natural causes like a heart attack. OR, not -having his head sheared off by windshield glass in a violent crash.
    39 produced in 1962, going now for up to 4 million & just about impossible to find for sale. So there are blood stains on the original driver’s seat & a crack in the wood steering wheel at head level. This is a no-brainer for me. You?

    How did he die? Specifically? It really really really really matters! Not to be OCD or anything but I really really really care!

    How much gas was in the car when he died? Below half a tank I hope because if there was more that would be really really really bad.

    Can you delete this? It really really really bothers me.

    Yes. The repair of the car and detailing of the interior would lower the creepiness to a tolerable level.

    Look, you guys are getting too worked up.

    What better way to go --- a 250 GTO owner getting "serviced" by his hot, much younger, girlfriend(s). Sure I'd buy his car, girlfriends included.

    Karen,

    You don't need two threads on this........

    Why don't you ask one of the mods to move the other one to this area if you want.

    I think I do. Hopefully some of the needling Off Topic DHs will stay there & spew their flagging nonsense for that audience & leave normal folks here alone.
