Dad was often in the Detroit area on business, and stopped by Royal Pontiac whenever he was nearby. This time, he was looking to replace his ’64 GTO.
He knew Milt Schornack from talking with him on other occasions. Milt told Dad about this car, which was in the garage and not yet finished, and said that it was being built specifically for Ace Wilson.

Dad wanted this one, and after some discussion, Ace agreed on the sale. Milt said that he would let him know when it was ready.

Dad remembers it was a week or two before he could pick it up. Whatever went on during that time, about 1200 miles had rolled over on the odometer. Maybe it was raced or tested, or maybe Ace drove it around a while?



Mom, on the other hand, hated this car. She has told me ‘'it wouldn’t go slow’’, and how hard it was to drive into certain hilly driveways and twisty streets.
