Its the 1966 GeeTeeOh GTO's you get more info/read about.

Thanks,
Don
I really don't remember the times on the '64 GTO. As for the '65 I'm beating Keith can come up with that one. I have a few articles on Dick's car but it will take me some time to find them. But Dick's cars are not sponsored by Royal. I'll post them if Keith doesn't.

Good morning, all (no internet at the new house yet).

Was there something in particular you wanted to ask about? Those articles are pretty comprehensive, with lots of nice detail pics (enough information there that if a person wanted to do a "tribute" car they could do it easily enough).

My undertanding is that this car was likely one of the 5 white early builds. They must have still been owned by either Pontiac Engineering, or by the dealership, as Dick got in trouble for cutting it up (altering the wheelbase).

Dad made the fuel injection manifold on that car, by starting with an Olds unit and adapting it to fit.
