Hey, my GTO was a daily driver from 1982 until 1996 -- it probably has 200,000 + miles on it. I keep it garaged and only drive it on nice days now, but I sure do enjoy those nice days!

It is not a show car by any means, and probably never will be. It was meant to drive, and I mean to drive it every chance I get!

I do have a full H-O Racing suspension under it (it corners like a slot car) with period American Racing Mags and the biggest 14" BFG rubber I could fit in the wheelwells. It also has the typical "Tuned" Holley 650 w/Edelbrock high rise, Doug Thorley headers w/2.5" duals and Turbo mufflers, Iskendarian valve train (everything but the cam) and a "shift kit" Turbo 350. Saving my pennies for a built 2004R, so I can take longer trips in it.

Nothing special, really, but there are not a lot of '65 GTOs around here (2 or 3), so it usually (despite some minor hangar rash) attracts a crowd at the summer Saturday cruise nights. And I have made a hellofalot of new FRiends just by taking it out.

Gonna get me a drop top '65 GTO onna these days, though!
