I've seen this GTO at Musclepalooza. It's amazing. I've seen a number of Paul Menin's cars... everyone of them have been absolutely stunning. As always Nap your T/A is mighty fine too.

The new owner told me he purchased the car from someone in Long Island. He changed the 4.33 to a 3.55. He said 3,600 RPM at 60mph is not good. He is also changing the bias ply tires to redline radials.

Very nice car.

Very nice car.
I can relate to that 3600 rpm at 60 mph. Great for driving around on city streets, bad for the freeways, (if you don't want to get run over by the Buses, Trucks, and everyone running 75-80 mph).

Keith,

How are you and things in Saratoga? Hopefully, very good.

Yeah, this GTO is really nice. Wish I had the money to get it when it was on BAT.

I really liked this show I went to on Sunday. Saw a lot of great cars and had good conversations with the owners.

Later,

Jim

Jim,

I'm doing well and all is good Sir. Hope you are doing well also. If the weather is good on Saturday I'll meet up with the local Pontiac club for a little Cars and Coffee. Maybe do a show or two before the snow flies.

Not familiar with the GTO, is it a RA2 car or did Royal put a 428 in it?

It was built into a RAII by Paul Menin from MA.

Can’t believe you guys picked up on the fact that wasn’t the right sound track . I liked S&B alit growing up but never would have picked up on that

I'd like to know too. I'm a Smokey & The Bandit fanatic, took the pix and the car is mine and still don't know.

I must live in a cave. LOL.

BAN ONE was already taken. Closest I could get is what is on the plate.
