September 2015:
Well - it was bound to happen.... Took the GTO to the hardware store over the weekend and rolled over 5000 miles. It was kind of a big deal (emotionally) for me. I knew it wouldn't stay under 5000 forever - I took it to church a couple weeks ago and figured that would be the day. Unfortunately it landed at 4998.8, so that gave me a couple more weeks to think about it. The trip yesterday blew that number away. I'm over it now, though. Anything less than 10,000 is ok with me. ![]()

The big news I suppose is that we were able to execute a photo shoot with the GTO. This took place last Sunday evening at a small local airstrip with photographer Al Rogers. The idea is for future publication in one of the enthusiast mags in the November/December timeframe. I have already provided the accompanying text (1000 words, first person). K

Since I can't seem to add this to my photo album I'm going to stick it here for future reference.
It's hard to say from a black & white photo but this could be our '63 sitting behind Royal. Some defining features: Silver on the front header panels, surrounding the grilles Silver paint around the body side trim Body colored wheels Standard (non remote) mirror Royal sticker on the sail panel K

Another thread reminded me that I took some pictures during my summer vacation that I never got around to posting -
This is from Ludington, Michigan and is the original location of Stevenson Motor Sales, which is the agency my Grand Prix was sold through. It is a small swap meet/flea market now. K
