After putting my '64 GTO back together after a body off, I drove from Hermosa Beach to Saginaw , Mi., then to my folks place in N.J. , stayed a few days visiting, headed back to Ca. via interstate 80, stopped in Reno to visit friends, then back south 500 mi. via 395 to Hermosa Beach. About 7000 mi. in a couple of weeks.

awe man.. I wanted to re-share my picture of the '73 at the strand in Redondo (it's really tough to get a picture near the beach in Hermosa.) - but I can't find it!

In my last post I told of my trip from MI to WY in my 73 GTO. It was an auto with 3:08's back then. What I didn't tell was when I came back to MI I was pulling a Pinto ,,, yes Pinto I bought out there which was in GREAT shape that I bought for only $ 300.00. But anyway I pulled that back behind my 73 with a U-Haul bumper hitch which weighed about 65 lbs. I got about 16 mpg with it then at about 65 most of the way back. But what was funny, well not really I also had my truck which was pulling a U-Haul trailer 18ft, & every time I filled the car I filled BOYH tanks on the truck. It was a 1976 4wd short bed Ranger XLT that was lifted 5 inches with 38 monster mudders on it. No matter empty or full it got about 9mpg. But the GTO never missed a lick all the way there & back. Going out I got about 19mpg's but ran a bit fast at times. See the past post .
