And you thought '05 Mustangs were the only difficult performance cars to find:

The good news for GM is that the train company will have to pay for all of those cars, which should just about double the number of GTOs sold in Model Year 2004!

Are they sure it was an accident?

They do need to find buyers for the GTO.
Perhaps the insurance company?!

Brad, it sounds like you're implying that all the cars on that train makes up a majority of their sales for the year. That's probably the best thing that could have happened for GM. If there is another train accident with GTO's on it, I call it a conspiracy!

You probably see some of those GTOs on used car lot soon, or at auction warehouse.

Not to mention the fact that I can not find any mention of a train wreck in the Blairstown Iowa newspaper.

Design improvements and sales, without rebates too!
What more could they want?
