In my younger days, I would always look for car show to enter my hot rods into... I never won much of anything... the guys who took home trophies always trailered their cars in and still spend hours detailing every nut and bolt. I have NEVER trailered a car to a show..I would drive it in.. spend some time knocking the bugs off the winshield and drive home... I guess my trophy was actually getting to enjoy what I built.. Thanks for watching, I appreciate it!
I haven't ridden in a 66 GTO since 1970 in El Cajon California when I was 13/14 years old. My neighbor Bob had an older brother, Ron Witek, who took me to my Little League games a couple of times and other places. He would blast Black Sabbath from his 8-track player and got me hooked on that band because everything Ron did was cool. Black Sabbath, The Wizard, Hand of Doom, Electric Funeral... Pontiac 66 GTO and the 8-track was the ultimate. I remember he got a new 8-track of a band called Atomic Rooster and left me listening to it in his car as he went inside to get something at his house. One day we were going up Avocado Blvd at a slight incline, and he floored it. WOW! My back was pinned to the seat the likes I've never felt since that day! The 1966 GTO has been my favorite ever since, because everything Ron Witek did was cool, you know.
My first "pinned to the seat" experience was in 1981 at a ripe age of 11, in my friend's brothers 1969 El Camino running an insane alcohol burning big block. We were getting a ride to basketball practice and I remember it like it was yesterday... all three of us stuffed in the bench seat, Led Zepplin Fool in the Rain blasting on the stereo, my arm hanging out of the open window, not a seatbelt in sight and us getting so sideways up the road to the school with the tire smoke just billowing out of the back...the sight, sound and smell of everything going on was the hook I needed to seek big horsepower cars.
I'm watching this in the dead of winter in Canada, my '62 Biscayne all tucked away in it's garage until the snow melts and the salt is washed off the roads- four months from now. Such a long wait to take it out and look for some friends to play with. Guess I'll have to watch videos like this in the meantime...so thanks for posting! LOVE your GTO.
Awe man, freaking awesome, absolutely live way the dashboard shook back and forth when you turn ignition! Bring back memories, when i was a kid and we seen a car like this we would block road until the driver did light up tires
One of the best videos ever!! I'm 62 and have oil/trans fluid/rear end oil in my blood. This car takes me back to the days of my 66 Chevy with a 396/375 Positract and early 400 Turbohydramatic. I can feel the rush as you hammer down on this absolutely beautiful Goat. Man, what a great job. Keep up the good work! Wonderful can and a really good funny video!
God Bless the Pontiac GTO. Dream car is a 66 or 67 GTO. Dad had several before I was born. He showed me pics of his when I was a child, been my dream car ever since. Thank you so much for the videos. It's good to see a classic muscle car video going out and having fun. Prius' and small cars have really changed the world. Thank you again, long live the Pontiac GTO!!
I was given my brothers 67 Lemans when he went to Veitnam in 69.Spent 5 years trying to make it into a GTO.All my early dating history is in that car. The dash shot was such a welcomed memory. ..thanks for the great video
Awesome video! I have a 1964 Ford Falcon with a V8 that I'm fixing up, it's not painted yet other than primer and there's a couple minor electrical issues that need fixing but it's getting towards being road legal. I'm so used to driving my slow ass pace arrow rv everywhere that when I had just finished fixing up the carburetor on the Falcon and I went to take it for a test drive I laid down rubber on my driveway and my landlord got pissed at me haha. It really reminds you how much power those vintage cars really have. Keep up the good videos!
Nice car... I was home with my 20 month son and he was crying until we saw your drifts. He stopped imediately (!) as he heard the V8 drifting! Thanks man!
We used to have stylized cars, stylized buildings and even stylized appliances. Now look at us. People are more interested in their coffee and their computer games.
I had a '66 as well in the early '70's; gold on gold. My God was that a pretty car. Drove it to 115,00 miles and it began to use some oil, smoke. So rather than re ring it I bought a '68 GTO, black on black. It was pretty, but man was it ever a lemon. Everything minor went wrong; usually electrical. The '66 was by far the best car I've ever owned. Very few problems. Just eased it around town for the most part. It had the most undesirable transmission, the 2-speed powerglide, and did it ever use gas! It drank leaded premium too. But very few problems with that car and many great memories. Wish I had it back!
+Dale Andrews Hi Dale, I replaced the slip and slide powerglide with a TH-350 shortly after I bought this car...best move ever. I agree, the body style and lines of the '66 are just poetry in motion. Never was a big fan of the second gen. smaller GTO's. I had the opportunity years ago to buy a '69 GTO, the price was right, but I passed...it just didn't feel right to me.
Learned many years AGO DON'T LEAVE THE IGNITION IN THE ON POSITION UNLESS YOUR RUNNING, that's if still got points lol. Nice GTO, driven hard like they should be driven. Wish I had my old 66 Pontiac Lemans still, just a 326 2 barrel but that engine was very surprising for what it was. Reminds me of the the good old days back in the early 1990's when I had it.
@@yourbeekeeper it sounded like you did it in front of a cop. if that is the case then it seems as though I just saw the stone cold steve austin of the muscle car world lol
Back in the late 70s I had a 65 GTO, basically a no frills Lemans with a big appetite 389. Later had a 67 Lemans, nice luxury ride, gave it to my sister when she needed a car to haul her kids around. Wish I still had those rides.
People who have never driven or ridden in a car like this don't understand. It's a completely different experience than any other car, even modern muscle. It's such a different beast and requires such a different approach to driving, it's really amazing. Btw HUGE kudos to you for driving it the way it's meant to be driven. I can't stand people who buy these cars just wanna pussy foot around and be seen in them or think they're too precious to really drive. You are keeping the true spirit alive
Very nice car,you must have been taking good care of it ! I bought a 66 GTO this summer,imported from California in 2006. Here in Norway we get some garage-time (winter and snow), so i am taking care of some rust-spots and giving it a suspension-upgrade +changing colour from original burgundee to black. It has a 400 engine and rear axle from a 68 GTO,engine has Edelbrock RPM heads, cam, intake and holley 750 carb + dougs headers. Big fan of your videos, keep em coming :-)
I am 72 years old now and have had a few cars in my time but I have to say the 65 GTO I had was definitely one of my favorites . 389 Tri-Power , 4 spd . very fast and actually with the tires back then it handled real well . I would love one now with some of the new technology and tires that would stick to the road . The 65 I had would definitely give some of the new ones a go !!!!
Robert Snow Hi Robert, This old '66 has several suspension upgrades from factory... I installed disk brake drop spindles, huge front sway bar, boxed the rear control arms and added a rear sway bar, had four coil springs custom made and upgraded from a 14" to a 15" ralley rim of course with radial tires (245-55-15). It made a world of improvement from when I first bought it. Thanks for watching, I appreciate it!
I still have my 66 GTO, and it still rocks, I have the original 389, but i put a 455 CID w/ram air 3 heads in it and replaced the 2 speed power glyde (glide)with a turbo 400, and cruze to Ronny and the daytonas, BTW no pasenger seat cause i drive alone, and dont have to hear the misses tell me im driving to fast, lol
+John Gotti I prefer to ride alone as well. I only have an AM radio in mine...so it's just the sweet, sweet sound of the all mighty Pontiac that floats into my ears.
yourbeekeeper Sucks even more to be in H.S right now all my gen has access to is honda civics maybe and old crown vic but for the most part not very many choices in terms of performance.
Sir, I just want to say for starters what a gorgeous car your 66 is. While watching your video, I thought those roads looked familiar! I might have a friend for your goat. I have a 65 Post GTO being reborn here in Sonoma County. I would love to have the privileged to share pictures, stories and one day get a gathering of these beautiful cars! I'm in the Santa Rosa area. My 65 Post Coupe is up on a home built rotisserie as of this moment, getting the best cancer treatment possible.
Thank you , I have years of practice with this car. I have road raced this car at local tracks through the years. Making around 430 HP does not hurt either. Thanks for watching.
I had 3 GTO's at a different points in my life, a '66, a '68, then a few yeara later I saw a '67 that I had to have. So I bought it and kept it a coule of years.
Nice car and I dig your video. I've got a '69 GTO that I just had the 400 motor rebuilt with a RAIV cam, Edelbrock Performer intake and stock RA headers. Looking forward to breaking her in and turning some heads. I like your sense of humor.
I love how you drive it the way its meant to be drove and not baby it like most people who own muscle cars, when I have my 72 Chevelle SS out I get crazy looks from all the older guys guys because I drive it like you lol
great healthy sounding engine! come on to alabama. a few buddies and I have a car club here with all the late 60s and early 70s muscle cars you can think of and would be glad to have you join us for a show and cruise
Those car are built for fun and pleasure and you use it like their or suposed to be used ! Thank you, make me happy ! ( A french youtuber ! (i hope my english is not too bad))
@MrJohndeere93 Thanks for watching. The car was auto from the factory and the automatic was more consistant when I used to bracket race. However, I have an original bell housing, flywheel, 4-speed console and pedal set-up sitting on a shelf. When this automatic finally dies, I will put a 5-speed in it.
make more please, I have a 70 chevelle 2 door hard top coupe, if I lived there I would definitely cruise with you and I'm a huge fan of GTO's,my dad has a 70 Judge
I always liked the cars that were not common. I had first gen Firebirds and Camaros, and I really love the look of the '69 RS Camaro with the headlight doors, but growing up, they were everywhere. I am also a fan of the '71 Duster, '59 Chevy trucks... oh the list goes on and on. I have had dozens of cars/trucks come an go in my life, but the GTO has staying power. I am sure I will buy and sell dozens more, but the GTO will always have a spot in my garags.
okay you can make fun of me if you want, but im 18 years old and have a fascination for old muscle cars such as yours. I have to say the Pontiac GTO is my favorite of all cars possible, and hopefully i can acquire a beautiful cars like yours one day. thank you for the video i loved it
@Nascarlee Hey Lee, I used to sacre the pants of my passengers when I would get the care completely sideways and still be able to keep 'er between the lines. I love the long wheel base and power steering to finesse the car down the road. Thanks for watching.
That was fun thanks for sharing! Back in the 50s and 60s all those parking lots would be filled with hot rods, beautiful woman, and young guys. Yes they be looking at the rods rather than the woman !
Thanks for watching... I am not old enough to know the 50's and 60's...but I remember the 70's and 80's and the cruise nights with amazing hot rods, good looking girls, and food that would get brought to your car by a lady on roller skates...fun times.
I drive a Toyota 4x4 with a supercharger, 33.5 inch tires and a very loud exhaust. I love GTO's but they are a little out of my price range at the moment, so I spend all my time peeling out of parking lots and getting sideways when it rains even a little. The plan is to start hitting desert trails we have out here. I get those same looks "It's louuuuud" - it doesn't sound like a ricer, but that mostly because it's about 5 liters of petrol chugging. Someday I'll have a 1970 GTO.
I had a '66 gold/gold in the early '70's. It had Pontiac's 2 speed Powerglide tranny. The only thing about it I didn't like. Full power and air(except seats and windows). I drove it as my every day car as a college kid. This was before the oil crunch, or embargo that would come a bit later. You could buy leaded premium gas for around 30 cents a gallon! I didn't "kiddo" it or beat it, just cruised around in it like a grandma! I ran it up to 120 mph once and don't know what it's top end would be b/c it only had 120 on the speedometer. I loved that car and got many compliments on it b/c it was so damned PRETTY! It got where it was burning oil around 115,000 miles and I sold it, regretted it, and - like a lot of goat owners - wished I had it back. Ah, the memories.
In my younger days, I would always look for car show to enter my hot rods into... I never won much of anything... the guys who took home trophies always trailered their cars in and still spend hours detailing every nut and bolt. I have NEVER trailered a car to a show..I would drive it in.. spend some time knocking the bugs off the winshield and drive home... I guess my trophy was actually getting to enjoy what I built..

My first car was a 1966 GTO. What a great car. Had several GTO's since, but nothing like that '66!
I'm glad to see you use it like a real muscle car! I think it'd be a shame to see it as a trailer queen!
im thinkin the same thing
Pontiac boyz, we drive

Nice car... I was home with my 20 month son and he was crying until we saw your drifts. He stopped imediately (!) as he heard the V8 drifting! Thanks man!
That's awesome!!!! Thanks for watching!
One can really appreciate just how hideous the Toyota Prius is parked next to a beautiful old classic like this '66 GTO.
I can not disagree.
Boy, did you get that right!

Thanks Curtis.
You seem like the coolest dude to chill with. Sick freaking powerslide at 2:03.
+AsTheSeasonsGray Thank you. I love driving this car in every way but straight...lol.
@@yourbeekeeper it sounded like you did it in front of a cop. if that is the case then it seems as though I just saw the stone cold steve austin of the muscle car world lol
i love your car man! GTOs are my favorite!
Love the narration. Awesome, man. Enjoy your ride. Noticed right away. A real Pontiac driver in a Pontiac. That's how we do it
Back in the late 70s I had a 65 GTO, basically a no frills Lemans with a big appetite 389. Later had a 67 Lemans, nice luxury ride, gave it to my sister when she needed a car to haul her kids around. Wish I still had those rides.
I really like the loooong body lines of cars in the 60's
I remember driving down a side street in my 69 gto and a lady yelled slow down and I was going 20mph in that neighborhood.
hahha... yep...they are speeding even at a stop sign.
Im getting one of this... after I graduate lol... congrats on that beauty, love pontiacs; love muscle cars !
Thanks Mike! I have always loved the Pontiac Power! Thanks for watching!
If I lived there I'd have joined you with my 66 Galaxie. Old cars are amazing and what you have there is a definite eye-catcher.

2:03 - some straight up Gone in 60 Seconds shit. Love it, GTO for life!
GTOAviator Thanks for stoppin in... it sounds much better in person.
you have no idea how badly I want a '66 in that color with that interior. You are a lucky man.
Wicked nice and all that jazz way too cool 😎 👌
Thanks, My daughter is in her third year of French in school and she helped me.
Great video! Nice to see someone with a really clean old street car driving it the way it should be driven.
Enjoyed your video nice car grew up around muscle cars
Glad you enjoyed it
I love your video, love your car. Thanx so much for sharing.
Thanks for watching!

Nice car. You still having fun at an older age. So cool. Never lose the kid in ya.
My God your GTO is mint ! Love it !
Thank you Corey.
Its been awhile so I had to watch it again 4 years later. It still sound as good as it did 4 years ago.lol
Yeah, I really need to get that car out into the sun...it's literally sitting three feet from me as I type this...patiently waiting.
Nice sense of humor, beautifull driving and a magniffic goat
.
Love me some old GM boats. I have a 68 impala ss and a 70 imp vert with a ls3 myself. Nice GTO
I am 72 years old now and have had a few cars in my time but I have to say the 65 GTO I had was definitely one of my favorites . 389 Tri-Power , 4 spd . very fast and actually with the tires back then it handled real well .

Robert Snow Hi Robert, This old '66 has several suspension upgrades from factory... I installed disk brake drop spindles, huge front sway bar, boxed the rear control arms and added a rear sway bar, had four coil springs custom made and upgraded from a 14" to a 15" ralley rim of course with radial tires (245-55-15). It made a world of improvement from when I first bought it. Thanks for watching, I appreciate it!
Ive got a sixty five gto, if youd like I have a instagram with some fresh documentation!! (search @65goat on instagram)
I still have my 66 GTO, and it still rocks, I have the original 389, but i put a 455 CID w/ram air 3 heads in it and replaced the 2 speed power glyde (glide)with a turbo 400, and cruze to Ronny and the daytonas, BTW no pasenger seat cause i drive alone, and dont have to hear the misses tell me im driving to fast, lol
+John Gotti I prefer to ride alone as well. I only have an AM radio in mine...so it's just the sweet, sweet sound of the all mighty Pontiac that floats into my ears.
High school early 70's lots of nice cars, driving fast, normal then! I'm glad I was there! Nice GTO
HI Robert, I definately was born in the wrong era... H.S. was the late '80's for me and most production cars of that era were lame.
yourbeekeeper Sucks even more to be in H.S right now all my gen has access to is honda civics maybe and old crown vic but for the most part not very many choices in terms of performance.
Sir, I just want to say for starters what a gorgeous car your 66 is. While watching your video, I thought those roads looked familiar!
I might have a friend for your goat. I have a 65 Post GTO being reborn here in Sonoma County. I would love to have the privileged to share pictures, stories and one day get a gathering of these beautiful cars!
I'm in the Santa Rosa area. My 65 Post Coupe is up on a home built rotisserie as of this moment, getting the best cancer treatment possible.
Thank you , I have years of practice with this car. I have road raced this car at local tracks through the years. Making around 430 HP does not hurt either. Thanks for watching.
Love the Red interior with the Black exterior. Best color combo in the world! Nice 66 man.
beautiful car man! i can only hope the 69 im working on could someday hold a torch to yours!
66 is really my favourite year for the GTO and it looks stunning in black.
I had 3 GTO's at a different points in my life, a '66, a '68, then a few yeara later I saw a '67 that I had to have. So I bought it and kept it a coule of years.
Nice car and I dig your video. I've got a '69 GTO that I just had the 400 motor rebuilt with a RAIV cam, Edelbrock Performer intake and stock RA headers. Looking forward to breaking her in and turning some heads. I like your sense of humor.
Your '69 should be a good runner... Hope you get some good times behind the wheel.. Thanks for watching!
I love how you drive it the way its meant to be drove and not baby it like most people who own muscle cars, when I have my 72 Chevelle SS out I get crazy looks from all the older guys guys because I drive it like you lol
Awesome video...I'm very impressed both by your GTO and how you're drifting it !
my dad has the same exact car!! him and i practically rebuilt the engine. yours sounds really nice!
Great video! I like how you set the camera up behind you to capture what it's like to drive that awesome car. I look forward to more videos!! Thanks
Can't wait to try this once I get home!
great healthy sounding engine! come on to alabama. a few buddies and I have a car club here with all the late 60s and early 70s muscle cars you can think of and would be glad to have you join us for a show and cruise
389 Tri-Power.......What a Great Combo Pontiac Delivered.Beautiful Goat.
+irishpat64 Thank you and I agree...great power package
That was awesome! I would love to drive that car...
Those car are built for fun and pleasure and you use it like their or suposed to be used ! Thank you, make me happy ! ( A french youtuber ! (i hope my english is not too bad))
Haha! Did that ambulance egg you on?? That burnout was awesome!!
+Bone Thang haha...yeah he did... I found out later that a friend of mine was the one burping the siren and they were just there having lunch.
Looks like NorCal to me, San Francisco area. Sick car, love hardtop GTO's. My dad and I have a '67 convertible GTO.
She sure is beauty. You did a good job on it.
at 2:05 my jaw dropped. Nothing beats that sound and feeling of torque. Good job man!
@MrJohndeere93 Thanks for watching. The car was auto from the factory and the automatic was more consistant when I used to bracket race.

Thank you, it's been a good friend since 1987...
badass driving, love those GTO's
What a great car you've got sir! Yay for classic GM!
I wish my Cutlass had the get up and go.
Thank you. Still has the original 389 block between the rails. It has had extensive work done to it and ran 429hp on the dyno. It goes pretty good.

Oh yeah, I still have this machine... it waits patiently in the garage for it's next cruise. I bought this car in 1987.
Rock n Roll Brother !!!
What a Ride !!!
Man you got knee deep in her !!!
Awesome video my Friend !!!
Thank you. I put it on a tripod and seat-belted it in. Stayed in place good. Thanks for watching.
Great '66 you have.. just watched your video. Thanks for watching.

that is a beautiful car. sounds great.
@Nascarlee Hey Lee, I used to sacre the pants of my passengers when I would get the care completely sideways and still be able to keep 'er between the lines. I love the long wheel base and power steering to finesse the car down the road. Thanks for watching.
yet another awesome video man and those slides were crazy cool
If it makes you feel better, I'm 16 and the flame burns in me, so to speak. Badass driving. Doing it so I don't have to!
+84Bronco351 Thank you.. I've been a gear head my whole life... I call it "Throttle Therapy"
JRC99 good kid. Don't let the new age suck you in!
Hopefully they will... Thank you and thanks for watching.
Thank you! I have been driving this car a LONG time and am very familiar with how it reacts.
That was fun thanks for sharing! Back in the 50s and 60s all those parking lots would be filled with hot rods, beautiful woman, and young guys. Yes they be looking at the rods rather than the woman !
Thanks for watching... I am not old enough to know the 50's and 60's...but I remember the 70's and 80's and the cruise nights with amazing hot rods, good looking girls, and food that would get brought to your car by a lady on roller skates...fun times.
Reminds me of when I drove around with my 66 goat.
I drive a Toyota 4x4 with a supercharger, 33.5 inch tires and a very loud exhaust. I love GTO's but they are a little out of my price range at the moment, so I spend all my time peeling out of parking lots and getting sideways when it rains even a little. The plan is to start hitting desert trails we have out here. I get those same looks "It's louuuuud" - it doesn't sound like a ricer, but that mostly because it's about 5 liters of petrol chugging. Someday I'll have a 1970 GTO.
+HeroOfTheWeb Horsepower is Horsepower regardless of how many cylinders you have under the hood...it's all good!
Gotta love the sound of a muscle car, I haven't owned a carbureted vehical in atleast 10 years or more.

HorseRancher92 thank you...by far the best muscle car I have owned.
@brothers0fwar Quarter panels that go on for miles. Love the old Mopars. Thanks for watching.
This is an amazing car/video, my friend.
Thanks for the ride
I was 17, and got my first classic then. A 1955 Studebaker Speedster
Thanks, they were really a nice looking car.
nice to see someone who has a nice toy who actually plays with it.... good shit man stay sideways
I love the sound of that engine... no silly hybrid or turbo 4-cylinder under that hood for sure !
It's music to my ears. Thank you.
come back friday night lol great vid man great car
that was some awesome drifting!
Wow, that's pretty steep gears.. I wanted street-ability as well as a good hole shot so I went with these. They have worked out well. Thanks.
This is a great video, had fun watching it! nice 66 you got man!
dude i wish there were more people like you in the world. not afraid to have a little fun and bend the rules alittle.:)
I am so happy that your driving this car like its meant to be driven, Thank you for uploading this very funny and exciting video!
Thanks for the great comment. I will come out again here real soon. Thanks for watching.
Great video awsome car
Thank you.
I had a '66 gold/gold in the early '70's. It had Pontiac's 2 speed Powerglide tranny. The only thing about it I didn't like. Full power and air(except seats and windows). I drove it as my every day car as a college kid. This was before the oil crunch, or embargo that would come a bit later. You could buy leaded premium gas for around 30 cents a gallon! I didn't "kiddo" it or beat it, just cruised around in it like a grandma! I ran it up to 120 mph once and don't know what it's top end would be b/c it only had 120 on the speedometer. I loved that car and got many compliments on it b/c it was so damned PRETTY! It got where it was burning oil around 115,000 miles and I sold it, regretted it, and - like a lot of goat owners - wished I had it back. Ah, the memories.
