love Pro Touring Novas...

 

For whatever reason ANY GTO just makes me smile. Great cars!

 

Always loved GTO's too, that shade of Green was popular in the 60s and 70s.

 

That green and also ORANGE looked awesome on them. I’d take any color if I could get my hands on one properly restored for the right price. My dad was a Mopar man but growing up we had basically every muscle car you could imagine and his GTOs and AMXs always appealed to me the most. The Hemi Cuda was nice too though.

 

Seems like there were tons of cool colors to pick from on vehicles back in the day.

 

Now THAT gets the old heart rate up! Geez, orange has always worked better on this car than any other to me.

 

Looks like a Warlock

 

I had one of these...it was our wedding car 20 years ago. People (especially "GTO guys") hate these cars.

 

You should probably hang out with a higher class of people then. I'm a "GTO guy" and I know, and hang out with, a lot of other "GTO guys" and I can assure you none of us would turn up our nose at that car.

Admittedly, 40 years ago, when those cars were new, they didn't get much love, but a lot has changed since then.

 

Yessir....

 

True enough, but this was 20 years ago too, and they didn't get much love then either. Car shows were the worst...
The "GTO guys" was in quotes as it was referring to those self-proclaimed experts who feel the need to put a voice to their ignorance. I managed a respectable 13.33 @ 109 with the 350. It came on strong on the top end, but needed a looser torque converter and more gear.

...^^^... That engine looks like the engine I Had in my first **drivable car (air cleaner was different) ... 1951 Chrysler Imperial Limousine Family Funeral Car.
EDIT: IIRC, it was an automatic with a clutch pedal.

**Had a 1956 Chevy (non-drivable) before the Limo, took the engine apart (couldn't get it back together ) and sold it for parts.
