Sigh... my first car was a 1965 GTO. Had some cool options (tach, ‘reverb’ switch for rear speakers), but had been butchered (rough conversion to a four-speed, high-school shop level fender repair, etc.). Capri Gold, black interior. Purchased in 1977 from friend’s older brother for...... $550. Sold it a year later for $650, and thought I was quite the wheeler-dealer. Went without a V-8 until just last year, when I became irrational and got myself one of the new Corvettes. I am again a happy man. I’ve sought out my old GTO, but to no avail. If ever successful in that search, I will do my best to get it ‘back’.

The majority were ‘RestoMods’, not original with crate motors. If I had the big bucks, I’d get a good original. Maybe spend the money on a top notch restoration keeping it as original as possible. But that’s just me.

Top cars to me were the ‘67 Corvette with the 427 tri-power motor, and the Superbird.

As I’ve told before

Guy in my Mustang club in the 1970s

1967 GT-500KR - as I recall, it actually had the 427 with 3 deuces

I’m sure he’s long gone by now. That car looked brand-spankin’ new when he drove up. I saw him coming up the street with it.

Stunning

My brother had one of these in about 1977.
Dad made him sell it for $2200.

Those aren’t just cars, they are pieces of art.

I’m still a Pontiac man. I’l take the 1962 2 door HT Catalina with the 421CID SD - sleepers rule
