No they are all 67s. You can make out the tail lights on the red '67' GTO.

Heres a 1970'S pic I posted awhile back - 1976 T/A racing on a course in Colorado actually designed by the driver - notice the Vette behind in the Background .

The high school I went to used to get damaged cars from GM from train accidents. Alol were brand new and the VIN tags were removed. Cool to see the 1967 Bonneville on the train with the fender skirts already installed from the factory.

Its cool any time you have 12" flaired fenders and still have 2" of rubber hanging out.

Got any more photos of it? I love 70s-80s cafe racers.

Agreed, similar set up, but it is a different car. Note the 'IVO' style roll cage. Also, does not have 'go kart' steering as Hills car did.

This is the first picture I have ever seen of this car. Does anyone have any more info on it? Is this the car that morphed into the Tameless Tiger or is it another car?

It's a shame that Arnie isn't "into" forums like this. He's got so much to tell...

As a next-best scenario- is John Holmes perhaps on any forums?

John Holmes? The 1970's porn star with the 13" member? He's dead.

No Brian, he means Arnie's crew chief, and owner/driver of Arnie's 66 GTO Funny car. BTW yes that 63 is the same car that became the Tameless Tiger. where did you find that pic?
