Nice, the closest I ever got to a GTO was a 1975 Pontiac Grandville Convertible. That was a 5200 lb barge with no power. Happy cruising.

Nice! I bought myself a new roof for the house, new gutters, new driveway, some serious tree cutting, and this vacation (which ends today) on Hatteras. I spent $20k, bet you spent more!

BTW - straighten those tailpipes out, they look like they were installed by the village idiot! I did custom exhaust work for 7 years. Looks like they need to be rolled a few more degrees away from the coil springs. It may not be possible if those mufflers don't have the same offset as stock mufflers... I see the adapters needed to make them longer. Find you a custom pipe guy with a good bending machine (a Huth is best), and have him fix that up for you with some nice aluminized or stainless steel tailpipes!

I agree about the exhaust.
Thanks everyone for the comments.

I must be getting old, I love this song.

George (w2amr) is the ultimate detail guy! His lawnmowers look better than any car I've ever owned!

Too cool! The closest I'll ever come to a car like that has a Revell label. Back in the day, I did have a '70 GTO....455 4spd car.

The stuff in the forums is for normal people. You are not like the rest of us. i get that, and appreciate it.

You know how long it's been since I've driven a carb ?

I'm sure... But a sweet ride like that? I would spend hours detailing it! Wash, clay, wash, polish, wax, buff... Repeat as necessary.

It's a grandpa ride, man, a Bonneville. Nuttin' to be skeered of!
