papaws GTO

[BIGBLU 72]

Well i dont have any pics bc of a house fire in the 80's but i was talking to my papaw today and i mentioned the GTO he had so he started goin on about it, which is what i wanted. then i got to thinking that it had to be a really rare car. It was a 66 GTO 389 Tri-power, turquoise blue as he described it, buckets and 4.11 posi. now heres the strange part.... he had to have them install a rear seat bc it didnt have one in it, had a 3 speed manual in the floor and he said it came with headers in the trunk??? he bought it off the show room floor in Savannah in Jan of 66. he said it was wicked fast. the end of the car came when my grandmother refused to twist around in the bucket seats to fool with my Dad and Uncle in the back, so it go traded in for a 68 Ford LTD wagon in late 67
