baron_ Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 After the '66 convertible was stolen a few months ago, I've been buying/selling and waiting for something else interesting 'something else' just popped up 1966 GTO, original Tripower 4spd (high output) with ram air package (rare) and special order paint code Tiger gold (factory order, rare, special charge...wait...etc) Tiger gold cars are what pontiac made into the GeeToh tigers back in the day...factory sponsored racecars $90 extra just for the paint...on a car that was less than 3,000 total I have the original build sheet, window sticker, title...etc Car has been a show car or drag car for all of its life: 15,000 original miles and rust free Now sporting the whole race theme Currently has a ram air IV motor in it, 400 pontiac i have the original 389 sitting safely in the back of the garage...and several 455's to rebuild at some point (after i enjoy this for a while) has an auto th350 in it with 3800 stahl and heavy shift kit at the moment...and shakes the ground (no exhaust) Needs a lot of interior work...as it had a roll cage and was gutted. I'm working on that. Just got it running again. The first time i got it fired up (hadn't been moving in a while), my feet were hanging outside the car. The pebbles in front of the headers hurt my bare feet from being pushed by the headers. It's wild/fun/cool Hopefully i'll take it to Quaker Steak sometime soon http://homepages.udayton.edu/~mertzgea/IMG_2482.JPG http://homepages.udayton.edu/~mertzgea/IMG_2481.JPG I'll store this one a bit more carefully...after the last experience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baron_ Posted September 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 i was disturbed....to find it the original owner had 4 weeks left to live...(throat cancer from smoking too much: voice box and all) super nice guy though he'd been selling race parts off it over the years (no intake, carb, fuel cell, etc) I had it running again less than 24 hours later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 i like the parking brake. seems alot of people have that same design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GonneVille Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 Do NOT, repeat NOT, touch that paint! The only thing you could do to make that car any better looking is to install some old Cragar rims, the 60s style 5-spokers, on the rear with steelies up front.
