I really like GTO's don't get me wrong....just thought I would show some other species. I have had a kid get out of his mother's car, walk back into the restaurant where I was sitting and tell me how much he liked my car. Good to see kids are still interested in them. By the way, the Mustang is faster than the 427.
I'm just happy to be here! Today I'm as young as I'll ever be and and older than I've ever been before!

Had a 67 GTO as well plumb with white vinyl top. Ex wife got it in divorce. Thing would pass anything on the road except a gas station. Had the 400 with 4 speed and 5:13 gears when I got it. Got the bright idea to put headers on it along with brushed aluminum side pipes. No idea how many times burnt my leg on those and oil changes sucked. Also cooked starters.

By the way, the Mustang is faster than the 427. Today is the muscle car era.....How is 50+ year old technology going to keep up with the new stuff ? I can’t even beat a new Honda Accord ....but I sound way better....and look a whole lot better too.....and there is nothing like driving an old muscle car. My friends have the 700 hp Hel Cat....The 550 hp Mustangs...Those cars do nothing for me....and I don’t even notice them on the roads...they just blend in with the rest of the traffic...

Agree on can't beat em but still sound and look better. All the new ones don't have the character the old iron has. Like my old 77 Shovelhead the old ones will only keep getting worth more while the new will depreciate.

That car is worth a ton today I wish I still had it, but I had to sell it before going into the AF in June 1968. Payments were only $96 a month, but as an Airman, I was making less than $100. a month.
