Thanks for posting; Mr Wangers is still 'the man';

Guess which car was my favorite?

The Voisin? (though maybe not once that feller turns the interior into a jacket and underpants!) [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/burnout.gif[/img]

50th Anniversary of the GTO and the Muscle Car at the Petersen (coincidentally, the Car and Driver GTO turns 50 just a few days after the event). Swing by if you're local ...!

Looks like fun!

My car also has a birthday coming up; it turns 49 a week from today!

Awesome car, Keith - standing the test 'o time (and never been under the knife!)!

My first car was a Burgundy 64 GTO 4 speed hardtop I bought from a high school friend. $125.00. I was stoked when I finally went to pick it up. It ran but had a spun bearing. There was an old guy that worked as a mechanic at the gas station up the street from my parents house that had a 65 Tri-power and he helped me, actually, I helped him install a 67 400. Drove it for awhile and got into too much trouble with it growing up in Atlanta and my dad took it to work one day where he managed a business that shredded cars and that was that. My flavor is Chevy, but owning that 64 GTO opened my eyes to all hotrods and factory muscle 60's and 70's. That Jim Wangers car has always left a mark on me. What a nice piece of musclecar history. Thanks for those pics and story.

Your Dad shredded your Goat?! One of the fun parts of looking after this car has been the memories it'll sometimes stir in others - sorry about that one, though! Credit due for getting his point across, though, I guess!

Yes, he did make his point. Shortly after that, I hit the bricks and didn't talk to any family members for 30 years.
