Default New Member with 72 GTO

After a number of other hobby cars, i decided to get back to my roots.
Found a numbers matching 1972 GTO.
Low option car. 3 speed manual, bench seat, 4 wheel manual drums.

Planning to remove and store the drive train, I need a little more snap then the stock engine has.

Welcome, 11th!

And super cool 72! Sounds very similar to my 72 LeMans GT (3 speed manual, bench, 4 wheel drums)
