Another thing about the 10,400 road trip. I had just finished the building the installing ther motor only a few days prior! She never missed a beat the whole trip.
Here is the same '70 after she got some color. I painted it in my back yard. This was on the way home from participating in the Hot Rod power tour around '94-'95
Yes, it had a hitch as all my Pontiacs do. here it is pulling my Pontiac powered jet boat at Canyon lake in the mid 90s
and yes, it was in the snow many times too. Even in Arizona. Here I am heading for another fun day of Snowboarding at Sunrise ski area which is close to where I am moving to. Made many, many trips skiing, snowboarding in Nm, Az and Co with this GTO. I even had a matching pair of wheels mounted on truck type snow tires for my ski trips for better traction. They are on the car in this pic if you look close. The car handled well in the snow and caused no problems.
