I drove a friend to pick up his 66 GTO at a dealer in Crestview, Florida.
He had ordered the version with the four barrel but they got in one with the 3 two barrels and asked him if he wanted it.
The salesman took us for a test drive, he wouldn’t let the kid drive it until it was paid for. It was the hottest car I had ever been in and probably the second hottest I still have ever ridden in.
When I was 16, my boss gave me the keys to his GTO with tri power, told me to drive out into the country and find this missing driver. Country roads, no cars, no cops.
I read an article years ago that quoted a GM exec as saying that “owning a GTO” was like adding 2” to your...”
One night I was riding with my cousin and we spotted the GTO on the side of the country road since it had obviously had broken down. So what does my cousin do? He pops the hood of the GTO and steals the chrome cover off the air filter.......LOL!
