Default It all started when...

It all started when my then brother-in-law bought a new 66 396 SS chevelle. Well, I had to have something to beat his butt so I bought a new 66 GTO. He beat my butt with with his 396 (I should have got the tri power) but I still loved my GTO. Latter in 1968 my brother borrowed my GTO to attend a going away party the night before being shipped to Viet Nam. Long story short, he made it back home (in the back of a CHP) but the car was totaled. I bought it back from the Insurance Co. and all the running gear was placed in my 34 ford 3 window where it still resides to this day. I have never bought another pontiac but I will never replace the pontiac running gear in the coupe with anything else. The coupe has been going thru a complete re-do for several years now ( more years than I had hoped) and will soon be sporting a fresh 455 that is nearly done. Hope this hasn't been to boring.

Jack.
