I went with a VFN bolt on hood and a fiberglass front bumper too. I don't know exactly how much weight this shaved off the front end, but it was quite a bit. Jerry.

I know I had this same problem many years ago & if I remember correctly (always a big if) the steering wheel is in the way of getting at the little screw. I seem to recall taking the wheel off &...

It's been a long time since I had a '67 but I believe the '67 intake was a one year piece that had weird exposed heat passages under the carb & you had to use a special metal spacer between the...

There has been a lot of talk about the rear ends on these two years. I agree that sometimes the tail-lights on the '66 can be hard to see. I think this is mostly caused by the housings not being well...

I don't know how many responding have owned both, but I have. They are the only year GTOs I have owned & are my #1 & #2 favorites without a doubt. Both years have strengths and weaknesses. The '66s...

Back in the early 70s I put a new set of Casler headers on my '66 GTO. The speed shop told me they were made by Hooker. They were awful. I had to make a lot of modifications on them and my upper A...

Sounds like great fun. If I ever get to retire, I hope I'm able to do some fun stuff like this with my car. With all the work you've done on your car, I hope you did well against the competition.
