Josh Goldfarb sent us a pic of his
newly restored 1964 Corvette that took him
seven years to finish. A "labor of love," he says. "This era of 'Vette was the
best America ever produced. The confluence of art and performance." He and a mechanic, who does much of the elbow work, found the Chevy 'Vette seven years ago in Acworth. The duo brought the car back to both its original color and
factory condition. Now, Josh has a
new project— a 1967 Pontiac GTO bought from an owner who had it stored in a North Georgia
field for 15 years. The car, while weather-worn, still had
original title and
paperwork in the glove box (complete with a Protect-O-Plate, so be amazed, all you gear heads) and an
eight-track player for the stereo. "My mechanic looks over the thing and most of it was dirt, not rust. My mechanic called me and said, 'This thing's
worth a fortun e.'"
"I'm kind of a boring guy because I work all the time. So this brings
excitement to my life," says the managing director for the apartment brokerage firm (with partner
Matt Wittekiend, who literally fights the work blues by wearing a tan jacket). So what's next after the GTO? "I would venture to say that probably the latest car I would buy would be the Trans Am that Burt Reynolds had in Smokey and the Bandit."
