Road in Jim Sylvesters 64 389 quad automatic in high school. Another friends brother drove the 65 Wild Hawaian{custom paint} go fast car at Detroit Dragway. Tim Colein bought a 66 bergundy 389 quad,4 speed. Later built and modified by Dick Jesse racing enterprises,{Now it was fast}. Johnny Clinton wrapped his 66 around a telephone pole and the Insurance Co. bought him a 67 experimental 405hp from ACE Wilsons Royal Pontiac in Royal Oak Mich. Can't remember this guy's name but he got a red/white 67 GTO convertable 400 4bbl auto for graduation and he traded it in on for a TR6. Tim and I were cruising Woodward and came up on a 67 Blk/Blk Gto, and tried to convince him to run . He said it wouldn"t be fair. After some conversation we found that he just pulled his brand new 400 and installed a 427/425 hp chevy. Bigger was always better in those days. Love the 64's 66's are fun partial to the refined ultimate 67 GTO. My wife bought me a blk/blu 67 455 auto 6 yrs ago and it's still my favorite. chaz069
