Yes, he bought this car new at Boose Chevrolet in Brookeville OH. It sat in his garage for many years before he took it to Terry Davis to have it restored. I believe they surprised him at the show with the car. He didn't know it was finished and they unveiled it to him there. I believe this car still has it's original drivetrain as well.

This is a true XS code factory built car. There was a copy of the PHS documents with the car. I believe there were around 110 of these cars produced in '66 and this is 1 of 5 that are known.

----I am curious about the black air-cleaner lids? I have never seen a set. Were they part of th RA package? I had a true RA package convert years ago (like 1975 or so) and the lids were chrome, but the car had over 100,000 miles and someone easily could have changed them!....Bill S

This shows how many engines were built. I bet the number of GTOs equipped with the engine was more than 110, though it's unknown.
