I WILL have a 1967 GTO one of these days!!!!!!!!
That was my second car. Bought it for $1600 in 1983. The body was in great shape and even had the original chrome and script. My buddy and I knocked the 4-inch lift out of the back and replaced the springs with some from an El Camino to stiffen it up a bit.
That was the first year of the smallblock 400. There was no tri-power option that year, but I did replace the Rochester carb with a Holley 650 double-pump on an Edelbrock manifold. The original trans was a Muncie 4-speed. Added an aftermarket Hurst shifter and it was good to go. That Goat would get up and haul. The only thing I couldn’t affort was a decent set of headers.
I miss it.
