    I had a ‘69 Plymouth GTX 440. It was a great car. It was beautiful, a gentleman’s muscle car. Compared to a ‘66 GTO I was driving a second class citizen and I knew it. That car was what made me love and learn more about motors and style. Only wish I owned one today. I’m 75 years old too!

    I bought a tri power 4 speed GTO in 1966 for $3379. It had the AM-FM radio with the 3-d echo sound effect device that GM provided. Blue with blue vinyl top. Had sintered metallic brakes up front that needed to be heated up to work properly. I had a 4.33 rear axle ratio.

    We all recall our Driver Ed car-mine was a '73 Pontiac Ventura. Vanilla white, tan vinyl bench seats with a 6 cyl and 2 speed automatic. Perfect learner car as it could not get out of its own way. 55 MPH was asking a lot of that motor vehicle.

    I had a 1967 Goat in 1969 with a full racing cam, twin Holly 3 barrels. I made the headers myself welding them on the engine. It was a screamer. I made a video about it where I ran it into Lake Michigan at over 100 mph. It had a Hurst 4 Speed trans. I seldom took it out 2rd gear in the city.
