The latest addition to my garage...

[The GECCO]

I know, I know, it has too many wheels but I'm still proud of it.

It is a 1965 Pontiac GTO, what was arguably the "first" muscle car. It has a mildly built 389 ci V8 with a 4 barrel and a Muncie 4 speed.

This particular car was in a flood in 1982. My dad bought it for $500 and we spent about 4 years restoring it. I know that's a long time, but it was a "spare time" project and there wasn't much of that since we were very actively stock car racing back then.

Anyway, dad recently aquired yet ANOTHER car (he has a bunch of 'em) and simply ran out of room to keep them all inside. He called a couple months ago and asked if I would consider taking the GTO...well, DUH! :roll: The next week he signed it over and now it's tucked away in my garage. He only got it out about once a year for the last 10 years or so. I plan to get more use than that out of it, but it will never be more than a car that comes out from under the cover on a nice weekend.

Enjoy...

P.S. the car he bought this summer was a 2004 Z06 Corvette...I tried to get him to give me that one instead but he declined :lol: Oh well...

Holy crap. Nice friggin' car. That's on the short list of cars I'd drive :D

Sweet....Maybe you can take it out racing w/ my sis if she keeps her street legal...she has (among other things) a 66 pro street Chevelle. Those play nicely with GTO's :evil:

Beautiful car glenn! On my list of things to do one of these days is restore an old muscle car... Donna and I both love the old 60's mustangs, so that may be something we do one of these days. She likes the 64-1/2 (yeah I know, really a 65) but I want a late 60's one so I can bolt in the 390FE I have collecting dust in the garage. A few hundred HP should be entertaining. ;)
