Ok, Tenney wins. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

Don, one of the things that struck me about your 65 GTO was that it had a similar paint scheme to Jim &quot;Old Man&quot; Taylor's 64 GTO. Jim is the original owner of his 64, and he still runs it today.

Not getting too far off the &quot;original photos&quot; theme, I just wanted to throw this one in, as it relates to the super rare engines poasted a few pages ago.

This is an all aluminum 389. Aluminum block, heads, intake, water pump, exhaust manifolds. Amazing how advanced, and how serious, Pontiac was in their 1962 racing campaign!

Brakes were always a point of criticism with the GM Musclecars. They had tremendous acceleration, but couldn't stop worth a darn. Pontiac was thinking about improving their brakes pretty early on for their new high performance car, the GTO.

In the summer of 1963, this 1964 GTO was delivered to Delco-Moraine for testing of disc brakes on GM intermediates (Skylark/Chevelle/Cutlass/Tempest), thus becoming the first A-Body with disc brakes.

That picture confuses me as that looks like a 69-72 caliper and not the 1st design large 4 piston ones used on the early cars. looks like a newer shot of a goat...Keep the pictures coming as this and the day2 thread are my favorites!!!!

Very cool engine, but let's hear more about the car it's living in.

A great &quot;Day 2&quot; picture, this was a Popular Hot Rodding test car, a 69 Judge Ram Air III. Doug's headers, some 5-slot aluminum rims, and a Weber clutch. The multi-part article ended with the installation of a RAIV engine (pictured). [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]
