Do you know this GTO? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I wanted to post a quick question to everyone, and if you can help, that would be great. I’m looking at buying this 2004 GTO w/ 47,000 miles. When I looked at the Carfax history and the condition of the car I thought it might belong to a Veteran. Being a 2x Iraq Vet myself I know that when we leave our cars get some downtime. I know this is a complete shot in the dark but if anyone knows this GTO and its former owner any help would be awesome. It was purchased and spent most of its life Palmdale, CA. It also has SLP headers, exhaust and a K&N setup. Thank you!

Sorry, I have no help for you. I must say that GTO is in amazing condition though. It looks completely unmolested, which is starting to be rare on those GTO's.
Just a guess, but I'd say it wasn't owned by a Vet. The military moves around a lot and I find it hard to believe a military guy (or gal) stayed at one home station for 11 years. Edwards AFB is near Palmdale so I guess anything is possible...

Looks really nice... Lot's of Vets around EAFB stay there for many years as it's flight test and they end up getting jobs as contractors. Most military live on base and then have to move to Landcaster/Palmdale or Cal City when they get out. Also not a deployment base so anyone stationed there would have put some highway miles on it and probably not have stored it.

Looks to well cared for and garaged.
Can't help on the previous owner bit, but nice find.

Have no idea on the owner, but I love it. Cool ride.

Nice. Great color too. Don't think I've seen a Blue GTO before. All of them I have seen until now were Red, Black, Silver and a Yellow one.
