BB1968,
I was just in Opp, Al for a family reunion and to see Opp Fest; they had some nice classics but only one GTO, a 1966. Back in 1971 my brother and I took a trip out west in his 1967 GTO. It was a great time; we were too young and inexperienced to think about making any plans for what might go wrong with the car but fortunately it performed very well. Only problem was a definite lack of power in the Colorado Rockies! But that was expected since the car sold new here in Gainesville, Fl., pretty close to sea level. We didn't know enough about carbs at the time to make the necessary adjustments. Anyway, it sounds like a fun cruise and definitely the right time of year to make a trip to the southwest. By the way, one of these days I am going to make it over to Enterprise to see the famous boll-weevil monument.
