Sooo…Is this your 66 Post @ Pomona Drag Race Museum Twilight Cruise meet?

Yeah, that's my GTO, before I restored it and added the KRE heads.

I have run into a few 68 Cats with the GP front bumper and grill. When I was @ Norwalk in 08, I met the original owner of the 4-speed, 4:11 geared, Verdoro Green 68GP that was featured in HPP a couple of years ago. The blacked out grille is interesting and memorable. After all those years of driving his GP with the 4:11s he had recently re geared it to the mid threes in order to save a little fuel. There was also a 68GP 10 sec race car in the pits that I never saw run, and two 68 GP projects for sale.
