THIS MONTH'S FEATURED CAR

 For the past few years Elaine and I were wanting to get another convertible. This time, however, I was insistent that it have a manual transmission, remembering the fun of shifting when driving my first 3 cars, an MG, VW and a Mustang II, all were 4 cylinder cars. After a trip to Barrett-Jackson in January of 2020 and being outbid on a “70 Pontiac GTO and a ‘70 442, we came home and started looking on the internet and came across Gateway Classics and found a 1969 Buick Gran Sport 4 speed convertible for sale out in Indianapolis. We believe it is one of 18 Gran Sport convertibles made that year with 26,700 miles and original interior. We have been enjoying the car immensely since we brought it home. We did attend Barrett-Jackson again this year and are quite confident that the way the cars are selling, the Gran Sport would bring $30-$40,000 more than we paid for it 2 years ago. Thank you to the Pantowners for voting it to be a 2022 calendar car. Dave and Elaine Watts
