Here the non-female love of my life, (I have to be careful, the girlfriend might see this). After looking around in various publications, web sites and word of mouth I chose this '66 GTO Convertible. It has a 389, 650 4 bbl with a 4 speed stick and is a real nice runner and a head turner everywhere I go with it. Like most others this one needed work, unfortunately more than I was aware of when I bought it from a terrible classic car dealer in the Philadelphia area.

The next project will be to replace the heads and valve train and get the engine up to "speed." The car is in nice shape with a solid frame and near perfect chrome. Interior is in very nice shape with it only needing a new console at some point. Convertible top works great since replacing the motor and pump, the top itself should get another couple years out of it as well as it is in nice shape. Hood with added NOS scoop will be going away at some point to be replaced by original GTO hood. I added hood springs and hinges from PY. Speedometer gear has been replaced along with new dual exhaust from the mufflers back.

Overall just a real nice piece of Pontiac Tradition that I just love having. It is nice owning a car that is rarely seen these days compared to the other makes and models out there. I really think it is one reason why people are so drawn to it, that and the fact it looks fast and mean just standing still.
