Some great stuff has been posted in here, I appreciate the effort. Eric, thanks also for the wild about cars links.
Champ, I have one request. Early in the thread I think you mentioned the April, '64 C&D. If I'm not mistaken, that issue contains the Letter to the Editor responses to the March review of the GTO.
I have at least a sampling of those letters that Davis, Jr. included in his retrospective on the original article which appeared in the '75 Car & Driver, an issue I purchased new, at the dawn of my own '64 GTO interest.
But I have always assumed there were others that were published in the April, '64 issue.
For anybody that has never read the response letters, I think they make for a good chuckle. I realize they aren't really in keeping with the technical reference intent of the thread, but I think they offer a little historical perspective of what some in the automotive enthusiast thought of the GTO as it was launched.
Any chance you can scan them and post them up?
