Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

The two-tone paint scheme mimics the treatment many GTAs (the racing version of the GTV) received. It looks better in person than in these apparently old photos.
I love GTVs but they're maintenance intensive. $75K is about what newly restored GTVs have been going for over the last three to four years. That's a steep price for one that was restored 20 years ago. The lack of any new photos (and the dearth of older ones) and very cursory information about the car don't inspire confidence.
Fantastic car for someone else to own and me to ooh and ahh over at the Sunday morning car show.
