Erod GTO at EBMC

[EBMC]

OK, if your Pontiac purist you may want to stop reading now..........:mad:

We had a request to bring a customers 66 GTO up to mondern standards.After our Erod event a few months back, he decided this was the route he wanted to go. He desired a stock appearance with modern drivetrain suspension and all modern underhood. He purchased the car last year and was overall was a very clean, rust free car. We pulled the front sheetmetal and began the transformation.

I think it's cool seeing the LS engines, with the GTO covers, under the hood of classic GTOs
