When I was growing up in the mid to late 60's, I always wanted a GTO.
However, my father (who knew several Chevy dealers) got me involved in
Chevelles. My 'hunger' continued for muscle cars (& the GTO), until
having reached my mid 50's, I decided to 'relive my youth'. I must
confess that I looked around for several different makes/models of
muscle cars, but I always came back to the 1964 GTO. The 1964 GTO might
not have been the prettiest or the fastest muscle car, but it was the
1st muscle car.
I purchased my 64 'BADGOAT' in 2003 & it was approximately 90% restored.
I had to do some mechanical work (don't we all) with the most significant
repairs/improvements being replacing some 'worn' 4 speed gears & a
complete detailing of the engine. Various parts along with other trim
parts & accessories were added with the help of PY (also PY's Tech
Forums was (and continues to be) an invaluable service).
I really enjoy my hobby of showcasing my 'goat' at car shows & just
'cruising' around. My plans are to hold onto my old 'goat' till my
retirement years at which time I will either 'cash in'/sell (for a nice
proft I hope) or pass onto a relative who truly appreciates what this
car means to the muscle car era.
Thanks again for PY in keeping me supplied with parts (& technical
assistance) so that I can truly enjoy my hobby.
