The roll cage is one area I would prioritize for safety instead of nostalgia. The one in my '64 is either a 14 or 16 point, I would have to go count again to be sure. It definitely helps the stiffness of the chassis on the launch, especially with the J-bars.

This is my sons 65 Tempest; he is 15 and very proud of his car. he is also very eager get started on the engine transplant. This is a one owner car with 93K, and solid. I was surprised to that there was no rust in the floors or trunk other than surface rust.

I did the official intro a few months ago in the lobby, but figured I should add some here as well.

This is my 1965 LeMans. It's got an (allegedly) stroked 400 with a fairly aggressive cam, an M21 quick ratio 4 speed, and a Holley 735. This is an old picture - I've since upgraded the cooling system to dual electric with a custom aluminum shroud.

It still wears the 326 badges; but doesn't fool many people - especially when I fire it up. It suffered a catastrophic mechanical failure on the freeway recently; and will be undergoing repairs for a while. Hope to have it back up and about ASAP!

Default 1965 GTO

Here's my 1965 GTO. It's an automatic 4bbl car but it's in great condition considering it's age.

The tires in the photo are the ones it had when we bought it, they are either the original U.S. Royals or they are the first tire change the car had. I put them on just for this show, normally having new red-lines and spinner cap wheel covers.

The spare tire and trunk components are original as well. The car has some small bumps and bruises from the 1960's but it hasn't been restored or used as daily transportation since the 1970's.
