That would be great if you find photos of your Dad’s entire ‘66 GTO. BTW, one year only 1966 GTO if ordered with Rally I wheels all 4 brake drums were painted Red.

I didn’t post it because it wasn’t a GTO but while we’re at it
Btw my car ran that same number the same weekend didn’t get the record, because it had just been run. Which is why I had that pic. Eckstrom thought he’d set it w my car. He actually wasn’t happy about it because he didn’t like to set records. It caused tear downs and reset the index two things he didn’t want to do. He raced Rocky’s goat for an over the counter RAIv at a race and lost on the final to Rocky’s goat at an event. I think it was the super stock nationals at York PA. So Rocky’s goat got a brand new RAIV service engine Last edited by turbo69bird; 01-14-2026 at 12:09 AM. |

This car was restored stock what a shame. Very nice car . Either way it’s nice but it’s like restoring super man to Clark Kent IMO beautiful car but for me personally better as raced. But I feel that way about the American flag COPO aluminum engine camaro out of Connecticut as well . That car was well known in this area.
I still have those RAIV headers from tubula That were on my car. They had a set of equal length snake like ones too but I don’t have them. Here’s why the didn’t get rub much Last edited by turbo69bird; 01-14-2026 at 12:47 AM. |
