That old car smell emits from the inside of the 1970 GTO, which saw little use between the last four owners of the car since 1998. The interior was redone shortly before the car was sold in 1998 and remains in great condition. The blue velvet replaces what was a blue vinyl. Michael Johnson/Pioneer Journal
