I got it one night (in 1964) during a street race between a 1960 Ford and a 1958 Ford, both with the 352 Intercepter engine. I was a passenger, my car at the time was a '63 Cat. Just as we took off, a 'small' car came out of a side road and fell in behind us. At about 65, he pulled up beside us, paused, then zoomed up to the '58 that was ahead at that time, paused again, then really took off. It turned out to be a light blue '64 GTO. It took me two more years to get one, but I got a white '66 3x2 four speed. It had steel wheels, full caps, red line tires, radio, ps, pb and little else. And, fuel was expensive, at about $0.32/gal.
