[6 Grrrs]

I was 12 when my dad brought this '66 home in 1982. My mother, 2 sisters, grandfather & I went on a trip to the Worlds Fair in 1982 in Knoxville, TN (dad owned his own business & had a big project to finish, so he couldn't go). When we got home, we were unloading the luggage out of my grandfather's Caddy, I hear this hot rod coming up the street. As it get closer, I see it's a red '66 GTO (it had glass packs on it). Then it pulls up in front of the house & my father is driving it. I asked if it was a customer's car. He said no - he just bought it the day before. I fell in love with it right then & there. I knew it was the car I had to have. It just took me another 24 years to talk him out of it.

After that, he had bought & sold several '64-'67 LeMans, Tempests, & GTOs, as well as several restorations at his shop & his own '64 GTO & '64 Tempest. His '64 GTO was a recreation of his original '64 GTO that he bought new in 1964 (his 1st new car).

I also bought a new GTO in 2004 (my 1st 'new' car). A Quicksilver/RedHot 6 speed car that I have since sold. Kinda wish I still had it.
