I was 11 in 1970
My uncle and aunt rode me and my mom to Gatlinburg from N KY in his bran-new 70 GTO 4 speed convertible. Sierra Yellow Black/Black How could I not get hooked WOW
what a car
He still has it today in resto process
His brother Jerry has a 67 GTO has had it from the early 70's many times riding with him trying to scare me to death
but I always loved the look of the 65 when I got to buying age
I'll never forget or probably forgive my Dad for his advice..Although I cant bring myself to tell him
I had my 1st car a 72 Camaro(dime a dozen) and some girl had a real strong running 68 GTO and she could not handle the car. Too much clutch and motor. Well she wanted to trade me (this was back in 77/78) even steven.. My Dad being prudent talked me out of it.. The 68 was Triple Black and just in A1 condition. It was geared really steep, But dam what a mistake... Thanks Dad still love ya
