Since not one of you had the decency to post a picture of an actual GTO (that’s a serious rules violation, folks!), here’s a link:

http://ultimategto.com/1969/69h_00021_1.jpg This was found at the following site, one that is an absolute necessity for all GTO fans: http://ultimategto.com/

FYI, the car in the picture is virtually identical to the Midnight Green Goat that my father bought in November 1968 for about $3800 (a buck a pound) - the only difference is that the car in the picture has the hidden headlights. We had that magnificent beast for 19 years, and despite getting stranded with a busted timing belt for 11 hours once, no A/C for a long, hot trip from Nashville to NJ, a blown thermostat that caused me to travel at excessively slow speeds between NJ and DC a couple of times and a hole in the muffler on another trip from Nashville to NJ that made the car sound like a 3,000 HP locomotive (and left me a bit hard of hearing for a week), I dearly loved that car. Alas, we shall never see its likes again, nor its brothers the GS series Buick, the Chevelle SS or the Olds 442.

Hmmm. Your '69 Goat had a timing belt?

Mike Adams might be known to some in my family. Brings back memories.
