My love for GTO's began in 1973 when
my buddy Joey got his 1965 GTO. It was bad! Green, 4 speed, 389HT, Cragers,
sweet. In 1974 my friend Brian shows up with a 1969 GTO 4 speed and I told
myself someday I will have a goat. I could only dream. In 1979 I found
myself in the Mojave, a hot, dry and broke 20 year old staying with my
uncle. I had a KZ 500, two stroke, three cylinder, the suicide bike. I met a
girl (she is still my wife to this day and mother of my 3 great kids) anyway
she tells me she cannot go out with me on the bike. Her mom says no way. OK
then, I sell the bike & look for a car to buy. I find a 1968 GTO
convertible 4 speed in the paper for 400.00 That can't be right. I
call, yes that's correct. I go up to get the car and the owner tells me he
changed his mind, no sale. I offer him 50.00 more, let him keep the battery
and the car is mine. I'm thrilled! No top, faded yellow, one headlight, bald
tires, I got a flat on the way back. Now here it is over 25 years later and
I'm still building this car. Right now I am putting the interior in it. It's
almost ready for the road. Well not the everyday road, my 69 GTO is for that,
but that's another 520HP story.
