$52,500 would buy it........I know its sounds like a lot of money. However I have MANY dollars in the car! Just in the engine, trans, rear, cooling system, fuel system, suspension, exhaust and wheels and tires........$34,000!

Food for thought.

Very true! However, we were building the car for us and had no intentions of ever selling the car.

If it were a 66, we'd be talking. My next car will be my last and I've got a strange attachment to 66's.

Car looks beautiful.

Paul, I can understand your strange attraction..........Old Blue was a sweet ride! I was suprised when you parted ways with her!

Because I needed a ragtop. I did love that car though. Sorta feels like I lost a part of the family. Its still in family pictures on the wall around the house!

The new TA vert hopefully will ease the pain when the warm weather hits until I can find a GTO vert.

Good luck with your sale. VERY nice car.

After many missed completion dates I demanded the car and it was delivered December of 2011. Still needs interior, glass and top installed. I have taken it out for a couple of short blast and the P-Dude 535 runs strong!!!! With this being said I just don't have "any" interest in finishing the project!!!!!!!!
Sorry to hear your guy has health issues!!!!

Take care, Paul

Have you driven the car much Paul? I'm thinking about building a RAIV "appearing" 505 using an aluminum IA II block for my 70TA and I'm curious about how well engines like this can work in a car that is primarily street/highway driven--say 3 thousand miles a year.

Jeff,

We only driven the car 50 miles. However this thing goes up and down the road with ease. The 3.55 gear is a little much and not needed with the torque of a 535!

OK.....I'm going to man up and quit the whinning about the car. April 29th the car has an appointment with a "local" shop for completion!!!! Went out for a 30 mile cruise last night and man the P-Dude built 535 sure likes 65 degrees weather!!!!!

Very nice 67.

The only reason I like the 66 GTOs more, and the only reason is difference between 66 and 67, is the grills and tail lights. To me the rest is just minor stuff between the 2 years. But the main reason is, the very first car I bought was a 4 speed 66 GTO.

Paul, I really haven't done much. Don't have the time and really don't have a lot of interest in finishing this project. I know this is ashame......but that's how I feel!!
