I know it's a long shot, but does anyone have pictures and/or remember a Montreoux (light silverish) Blue 67 GTO from the Hamburg NY area from 67-70? The car looks (due to trimmed inner wheelwells) to have had Hedman Hustler headers (or similar) and supposedly had 4:30 gears (or so) at the time. I inherited the car from my father (who was the sixth owner) but the original owner passed away in the early 80s. I think it would be cool to find a picture of it or something, if possible. Thank You-Jesse

Here's a few shots of a Pontiac powered rail driven by Johnny Abbott in the 63/65 time frame, don't remember if this car has been disscussed here before. BTW a friend of mine has the rolling chassis of this car, and it's for sale, PM me for contact info.

How a driver should sit in a front motored car. Lower than the motor, safe between the slicks, no view, just point it and go! Right Brian?

Stumbled across this thread. Awesome! Here's a pic I found off The Hamb. Here's the 66 GTO Olympia car forsale add. Early pic on this thread when it was all white. Thought I would keep this thread going.

Drag racing. An adrenalin rush like no other. It felt like going into combat, tasting your first beer, and losing you virginity, all in about 8 seconds.

From what I heard about the car, it didn't win any races, just alot of exhibition runs. Still cool thou! Would be cool to know what happen to that car.
