MIAGIMAN - That is the most unusual RAIV GTO I've ever seen...and very cool. Love to see more pictures!

Ponchjoe - Love your CT LeMans with the GT-37 vibe. It looks incredible.

Thanks Dennis. I’ve been looking for a 70.5 GT for many years so I thought I’d make one, my way. I also refreshed the dash added gauges and wheel this winter too.

ponchjoe, your car is truly a motivator for me, it looks fantastic!

The hood gaps look pretty amazing. Is that a repro or original hood?

Thank you for sharing, I'll save those pics!

Thanks Shiny!
It is a repro hood but I can’t take credit except for putting it back on in the same place as the PO that did the paint and bodywork after engine rebuild.

Weekend Project: Add Judge Stripes to 70 GTO. My brother basically did them, he has skills. Very Nice to have help. Maybe it is time to update the signature pic!

SD, I will post other pictures asap, I still talk with the original owner, I grew up in a small town where the Hopper Brothers (original owners of this car and my 64) dominated the race scene, neither car ever in the rain, just quarter miles.

MAGIMAN - That is truly an amazing history and to be fortunate to grow up close to the original owners and then be able to buy the car from them...with racing history. It's as equally amazing that it has it's original drivetrain with the race life it led. Any pics from when it was a race car back in the day?

Wow, plus you have their '64 GTO that was campaigned on the drag strip as well...I'm so jealous!

Yeah, wow, I mean just, wow!

Those are impressive numbers, nothing other than tuning and slicks? Shows how soft Motor Trend numbers were back in the day! Very cool to have real world, first hand numbers.
