I know the feeling watching the car drive away or watching it leave on a flat bed. I restored a car that was ready for the heap. It was a 1949 Ford. Replaced and remanufactured everything on it pretty much every screw wasn't left untouched. pretty crazy. And then I had to sell it.
thanxs for the comment, sorry to hear that my friend.... yeah that day really sucked, i cried inside as i watched it leave on the back of the flaatbed... a little piece of me died that day...
wow..what a great video.......then I saw your comment that you had to sell it....that really sucks. sure hope the new owner treats it right, cause you sure did....damm economy
I appreciate classic cars but I think if they are restored they should be restored to something better than what came from the factory over 40 years ago. Technologies have improved and I think treating yourself to those newer technologies is a privilege we have these days.
I was half-way finished with a restoration when I had to move out of the country. Rather than sell it, a friend let me keep it in his garage. I am even making payments on it from here (Brazil). There's a chance I will not see it again for many years, if ever. But knowing that she's there and that she is mine is better than selling it.
I had a 67 Goat when I was in high school, my Dad's initials were OTE, so everyone called it the "OTE GOAT", cream yellow, black top, black interior, his her transmission, special edition engine, and she would frekin fly, then my dumb sister wrecked it, she never coudl drive, but speaking for myself I used to race US Hwy 1 in Miami by Coconut Grove, FL, a black dude in a pink Cadillac tried to catch me all the time, but he did not have a prayer, best car ever.
This is true, but Pontiac classified the 400 as a 6.5 until the end of production in 1968. As a matter of fact they continued to use the 6.5 emblem on the GTO thru the 1968 production, guess they figured the dissplacement was closer to that of a 6.5 liter
Update: Due to this crappy economy and lack of work, I recently had to sell my pride and joy. I hope the new owner gets as much pleasure and enjoyment from her as I have. Maybe one day I will be able to have another just like her….Thanks to everyone for their comments…
@flagator67 hi, i resistly pick up a 67 gto in the same way you started i was wondering if you still had any info on the specs and where i can get reproduction parts and what kind of extust did you put in it. you can contact me at zachary.grouser@hotmail.com
<-----crying sounds sooooo beautiful man i miss how the engines sound compared to now... I just watched Modern Marvels about Muscles Cars and wow i truley miss these 1 of a kind bad ass cars. To ur tuners u stand NO CHANCE IN HELL against 1 of these with NOS or without so please when u see a muscle car just put ur tail between ur legs n walk away cause ur a lil girl who cant handle REAL MUSCLE
Great car man. I always had a soft spot for 7's. I'm restoring a #s matching 64 that my dad bought new off the showroom floor. Your video is good inspiration. Sometimes I feel like I am trying to do the impossible ya know? I should have it on the road in a couple of weeks. Mostly body, and interior work left. The rest is pretty much done. GREAT VIDEO buddy.
yes, the engine was rebuilt at a local machine shop, the rest of the work i have done myself, i have about 20 k invested so far....i figure i have saved a ton of money by doing all the work myself, plus it has been a fun project, it still needs a few more things to be complete tho... thanks
dude......BRAVO! what an art! always wish i had that kinda skill. if you lived near me, i'd apprentice. lol. great vid too. everything you wanna see (and hear). perfect choice in music, btw.
Nice job! I'm just starting the restoration of my 67 GTO. Have finished the engine and transmission. Have some rust to deal with. Original one owner car. I'm the original owner. Bought it in Nov. 1966!
@dongmo1 ...Post us some photos or a video, would like to see it when you finish, Sounds like a nice goat, you are lucky, hang on to it if you can....cheers.!
my dad are doing one just like this this winter and we are twotoning it for a customer and he is trading some labor on a truck we r geting frome him so its a win win he get his car done and im 13 and i get my 1978 chevy 1500 shorty with 4in lift :) nice restoration
thats an awesome 1967 gto man. shes beautiful and sounds great. im workin on a 1966 lemans now. i always thought the stacked headlight pontiacs were the greatest.
Used to have a 67 Goat as well..except I had the 4 speed hurst hard top. 4:33 posi rear, 750 holley double pump..bitch would run..my ex fiancee wrecked it many years ago..however why we arent together no more!!! Hahaha
Oh man, makes my mouth water! I'm 53 and 37 years ago I totaled out my future husbands, white 67 GTO... blue interior, automatic in the floor, t-handle. Sure brings back memories.
67 GM emblem on door jamb should be aqua not blue !
68 -75 used the blue emblems
1967 was a 1 yr only aqua color !
I have a pair if your interested ?
