Deja vu - Lateral-g Forums

Hey all,
This is going to be like deja vu for some of you.
Any one that followed us on our last big build remembers my black 65 convertible. I will say we have built some fun cars
In the past couple of years but this one should beat all of them.
We are building a 1965 Pontiac GTO clone hardtop For my father he is 66 years old and has waited almost 50 years for A 1965 Gto. When he was a freshman in college his buddy wanted a Gto
"This is fall of 1964 mind you" his dad told him you make straight A's for
A semester I will buy you a brand new 1965 Pontiac Gto. Well he made straight A's. In January 1965 he came back to Stanford with a Montero red tri power 4 speed Gto with a black interior. My dad his buddy and two other friends went cruising down university ave in palo alto ca. As my dad describes it " it was the fastest car I had ever been in up to that point and I knew I had to own one.
Well I feel it is only fair after putting your family first for years it's your turn to have some fun. Now we are not building a stock Gto I couldn't do that.

The following parts and prices Willard there way on to the car:
RS chassis with IRS
1999 lq4 block turned into a 408 with a f1c procharger
T56 magnum 6 speed
Vintage air A/C
And the list goes on.

Okay -- That's the best ever!

Keep it all coming.... We want more! We want more!

I wish my Dad was still on this side of the dirt and I'd have had a chance to do something like that for him.
