omg. this makes my head hurt. so many games, sort of rescued, but not being played and loved. zero percent chance I will ever be in Utah, but I still hope to see what you guys do with all of these games. So many rare games in there! hope that thumbs up and subscribing will keep me in the loop of what happens with this massive early 80's chance to feel it all again, but obviously not me as Utah is not anywhere that I can get to.

To be fair, the title says RETRO. Although it technically qualifies as vintage (thus, much better than "retro") Most people subscribe to the idea that "retro" qualifies as something made to look like a vintage item and Vintage is truly an item from the past.

Believe me i understand that, I grew up in the arcade era and i consider them as ""The Real Arcade Games'' From roughly 1978 to around 91 or 92 but mainly from 80 to 85. The reson i put in the title as Retro Arcade Games is for more people to find my videos... More people understand what '''Retro Arcade Games'' are. 😬

Yes, We got the game in more or less two halves and cut wires here and there, when we went through the process of putting it back together we also took that huge lense out of the game and cleaned it with a soft towel and light Windex. Came out shining!! Also took that 25 inch monitor on top out and cleaned it as well.

Well.....This collection is a culmination between 3 of us. I have been collecting games since around 1998, my Cousin started a few years after that and the other person has been doing this as well for a long time. About 300 of the games came from an arcade that had to close due to the "Scamdemic"(Cov!d). Another bulk buy came from a collector that wanted to get mostly out of the hobby. Some came from online auctions, some were found locally. Just the usual hunting for arcade games and pinballs. :)

Selling mine 20k firm. 04 40k miles, every possible upgrade you can think of has been done and done right, built by ryan cunningham and tuned by him. 25k in upgrades alone. Only thing missing is forced induction, but it has every upgrade to just bolt it up. I smile at facebook market cause I haven't seen one even close to how good mine is. I am the second owner been garage keeped the entire time. Have a Bible of every thing that has been done to it. 437rwhp 398 torque. I drive it once a week at most and put about 8miles on it when I do take it out. Sadly I bought it thinking I would drive it everyday but it's so prestine I'm afraid of parking it in public. I want the car to go to someone who knows gtos so they can appreciate what's been done to the car. If your serious message me. Again 20k firm no negotiating. There are videos of the car on KZbin from the first owner.
