Take it to alt.autos.pontiac.
No, seriously, congratulations. I just checked Autotrader within a 100
mile
radius, and came up with 67 assorted GTOs, ranging from $15,990 to $25,995
(2004-2005 models).
Given what you paid for it, I agree with your *****sment - well worth the
price.
Enjoy, and let's break a bottle of champaign over the fender.
