There is no reason to bash GTOs or used car buying. GTOs didn't sell because they were a dead brand. Everyone I know that's owned them enjoyed the power and ride. Secondly, there are not abundant GTOs with low miles floating around. There are only 114 on autotrader in the US with less than 60k (cheapest 16.5k btw). Price is pretty close but always seek to drop it a bit. Best thing is to take it out and see how it feels. Can't tell how you'll like a car any other way. I'm surprised how many assume an older car will break down. You'll have to do any routine maintenance, but its not necessarily a time bomb.

The one piece of advice that's always gold is to be financially sound before buying. Save the cash up because good, clean used cars will always be there. You never know when a guy who'd planned on keeping a car decides suddenly the new Vette is for him.
