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.

August 2016:

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).

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

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.

Snagged a few pics at the Pontiac Transportation Museum while cooling off on Friday during the Dream Cruise weekend:
