While at GM, he created what some consider the first "muscle car" in 1964 by cramming a V-8 engine into a Pontiac Tempest and calling it the GTO.

A beautiful creation. .....from '65.

I've never been into hod rods, muscle cars, etc. These days I go out of my way to purchase cars that can sustain a scratch or dent without setting me aflame with ire - something common and a little ugly so sas not to incur expense or gain attention.

That being said, your picture has me wondering if that '65 might be a keen thing to cruise around in some day. Nice pic.

Are you sure that's a 65?

My brother had a GTO. It was kind of a copper gold and a beautiful car.

Alas the only picture I have of my '66 goat is a B&W poloroid that's so faded you can hardly see it.

But with a 389 and 3 deuces and the only options a heater and a radio you could go through a set of rear tires over the weekend.

Eventually bored it out to a 394 so I could put in double dome pistons and a 3/4 cam and headers that made pulling the exhaust for the weekend drag races a snap. I could take just about everything but those @#$^ 396 Cameros and the SS396. I think those guys knew how to cheat better than I did....

Good thing gas was less than a quarter a gallon back in those days...
