He drove right by the garage where a 15,000 orig mile 69 IV GTO sits. I didn't have the heart to tell him!

Steve Hoog 04-24-2012 05:13 PM

He had a big smile on his face after he drove it!

I sure did & still do!

Landed here at 12:35 AM - after over 700+ miles in 4 states.

The car - 1971 LeMans GT-37 late build (June)

Originally 350/2bbl, 3spd man, 10 bolt open, now 455HO, T-400, 3:07 12 bolt Posi.

Prior owners, Richard Wright of Purely PMD in Albuquerque, NM, Gary Daniel & Steve Hoog of OK and most recently Mr. Wankers County Sheriff hot chick wife! ;)

This car was destined to be the next project after Purely PMD completed their RA V Judge but due to unfortunate circumstances was never started. Gary bought the car from them with plans to build/restore it and Steve did the same. Eventually it made it's way to PA where it received a frame off restoration and a little upgrading.

It now sports a factory tach & gauges cluster behind a formula wheel. The bench seats were recovered in the factory pattern with NOS material and the door panels were duplicated as well.

Todd apparently never liked the car :eek: and although his wife used it for daily use for a while didn't like the gas mileage. In March it ended up on e-bay with a very short description and some very poor pictures and only bid to $7,100 before Todd & I spoke on Sunday (day 6 of the auction) and the auction was pulled. A couple of phone calls later, a deal was struck and yesterday it was picked up. :D

A correct set of KU wheels will be on it this afternoon with Firestone Wide Ovals coming shortly (thanks Gene). A correct air cleaner has been sourced (thanks Roger) and some tuning following recommendations from several board members will be taking place.

It looks virginal in white, but this HO's a tramp and I can't wait to get some rubber on those quarter panels! Gary, keep your phone close this afternoon - you can take a ride with me again! :D

It's been so long ago; honestly I can't remember much about what was going on with it at my house, other than gathering a few parts.

Mr_GTO 04-25-2012 09:04 AM

Very nice. What are you going to do with it?

Judge273 04-25-2012 09:16 AM

Very sweet!

I'm going racing! :D

Steve Hoog 04-25-2012 09:22 AM

First thing you better do in that case is drop in a 3.55 rearend.

The Boss 04-25-2012 09:24 AM

I'm looking for one - if push comes to shove I can always pull the one out of my red car.

PB 04-25-2012 09:35 AM

Schawing!! Beautiful car Chris! Congrats! Now I know why you needed all those 455-HO stickers!

jmt455 04-25-2012 09:41 AM

Love it!
