FOUND 65 GTO
 

I was on a business trip around 1981, driving a rental, drove by an interesting car buried in a field, chevelle? not sure, went to drop off the guys and said i'm going back to see that car.
well it turned out to be a 1965 gto , it was already spoken for, the guy said it was subject to approval from dear old dad,
i'll wait and see you later, well i went back and the Dad po pooded the deal.
how much do you need for this car, he responded 400, i said, u have a deal,
i called my wifey, send me 400 bucks please
this is a 1965 original gto with a 1964, 389, 2 barrel, a four speed m21 with posi 3.23, tri power stolen, motor blew up.
i worked on it at night to get operational and drove it back to Canada,
all the time thinking, why these Kentucky guys didn't snap it up, and was i lucky.
still have this car, dragged raced it ( novice ) what fun!!
rebuilding it and hope to drive again by 2020.
the finny part was that i experienced the same thing this guy went through with his Dad, when i was 16, except my Dad po pooded a 1963 austin healy 3000, it would have been a great car to have but this GTO is now in my blood
excuse speeling

Wow Paul, you have some nice GTO's.

And some good luck it seems.

thanks, john
this car is being brought back to life, i have replaced entire front end suspension and brakes all upgraded, body mounts, starting on rear suspension and will be using 73-455, with a richmond 4 gear, and new diff, not sure what ratio, but staying 10 bolt
targeting summer 2020

Maybe you can make it to the great Pontiac yearly celebration at Norwalk, Ohio, the first rust weekend in August!!!

i'll try, not sure at this point

do to do, do do do do to do,

guess where that is from
