Chief,
Nice picture you posted along side Jim and the Jim's '65 GTO. I put the deal together for Jim to buy that '65 from one of my friends here in Detroit. Don't tell any one but that GTO originally came from California. Made its way to Detroit. Then Jim took it back to California. It was originally a white four bbl car. The prior owner, Ron Flurrie,painted it red, put a tri-power on it and had Jim Wangers personal engine builder, Ducan Michael rebuild the 389. The car sat a little higher and had all chrome rally I's on it before Jim made some changes to it to a more stock appearance.
When the car was here it ran 13.5's. I understand the engine has been gone through again resently in California and the car runs even stronger now.
