Default “red”

One year only, 1966.

If a ‘66 GTO was ordered with the Optional Rally I wheels, you would also get Red painted brake drums.

The first 4 photos show a ‘66 GTO in 1966 getting ready for a date.
Cameo Ivory with Red interior and Red pinstripes rolling on Rally I’s with Redline tires.

Photo 5 is my twin to the above.

For now, I’ve installed the Optional Kelsey-Hayes Aluminum front brake drums.

I kept the Original cast iron front drums showing their factory Red paint.

A closer look at the rare Aluminum Drum.

Offered for two years (65-66) on the GTO as an option.

I have a bright Red pair currently on the car, a pair of bare aluminum drums and a single still wearing its old Red paint. This one must have come from a ‘66 GTO with Rally I’s.

Drum weights held in place with a Phillips head screw.

Kelsey-Hayes sure made a lot of things from Aluminum.

Chris.

Default 1966 Screamer

I took the RXR for a spin today and it ran like a top.

Love the sound of those six barrels screaming.

I recently found an old vintage plate frame for the front. Matches the car perfectly.

Born with T-3 and dated outside mirror.
12-DMI-5 (Donnelly Mirror Inc. Dec. 1965).

Did you know?

Many are unaware of the different outside door handles.

For a Tempest Series car the 1964 and 1965 handles are noticeably thick.

On a 1966 and 1967 the handles are thin.

When I stand between my cars and grab both handles, there is a big difference.

Most everyone thinks they are all the same and sells them that way.

Chris.

Why were they different? Made by different suppliers?

I’m not sure why the change was made, but it wasn’t different suppliers.

They have different part numbers as shown in the MPC.
