As for a little more history about the Link GA...Originally built as a 71 GTO by Vernon Blank and Bruce Kalashain. High school buddies, Kalashain had a garage and was a successful Daytona mechanic. Blank was a mechanic as well, for another Daytona garage....Best Damn Garage in Town....and was the mechanic who helped build Marvin Paunch's 1960 Pontiac that won Daytona.
The GTO never ran well but it was probably the most successful 366 Pontiac, best finish was a 5th with Dick Brooks, as I recall. Blank sold the car to Link, who ran it a few times as teh GTO then the GA. It was junked.
