What car is this?

It's a 250 GTO that was given to a High School shop class by a race team way back when. Then it sat in a field in OH. for a long time. Today, it's priceless.

A little more info here on the car. I believe it was 72-88 that it sat outside.

Don't remember the full story, but wasn't Phil Spector involved in that one?

He owned it for a while back in the early 70's and was advised to sell it because it was bound to get him in trouble. He popped up and claimed to have still owned it when it surfaced after being missing for 30 years. The lady that did own it lit her self on fire. It was soon after that, that it was found in a storage facility. It's now in The Simeone Foundation Museum unrestored.
