I wish I'd had my camera with me last week. I passed by the local tire shop and spotted a '65 GTO convertible having some new radial T/As mounted on it's Cragars. White with white top and blue interior.

I thought about starting a thread like this a while ago, but never got around to it. For some stupid reason right after christmas this year I saw 3 or 4 gtos and a couple of first gen birds. I saw a gorgeus 69 limelight green 400 convert with tt's on it. The other car I couldn't beleive was 70 liberty blue judge, was it real? A 68 gto convert very ratty and rusty. And a 74 either ventura or goat that was gold, I couln't get a good look. And a couple more quick glances, told the wife it was a sign that a gto should be next...lol.

Spotted yesterday driving North on Wayne Road just North of Ford Rd. Looked to be a very Original 1967 Tempest 4-door, sounded like a OHC-6 Automatic car, unfortunaly this was as close as I could get before it turned off.

Agree. Did you notice the displacement indicated on the hood scoop?

Just saw a 66 or 67 LeMans or GTO drive through the neighborhood last week. Someone down the street has a 1st gen Firebird.
