1967 was a great year for all the cars produced, especially all the muscle cars, of which my favorite has bern and always will be the '67 Vette! Save the Wave Lou.

For GTO's...give me a '67. It is my favorite year for this model. I live on a dead-end street, very quiet. My neighbor bought a '65 GTO for his college age son. However, it's a stick and the kid cannot drive it and didn't want to learn how. It now sists in his garage. He seldom drives it, but when he does...I hear it! The kid moved on, never driving it. I joked that if it is ever missing...it wasn't me! I can't drive a stick either. Back to this car. Beautiful exterior color, grat dash! Great sound! Keep this guy's phone number...he has a couple of other classics in the garage! One yellow, one red!!

[@loucostabile]

HI Brian, Happy to read you have a fun GTO in the neighborhood. Glad to read the details you enjoy this "Beautiful exterior color, great dash! Great sound!" NICE! Lou

Hey LOOUUUUU! Ahoy to my big bro with his awesome big grin right there. I just got back from a brief trip to Los Angeles (so wild to see my beautiful and magical City of Angels again after several decades! I was a young actor when I was last there.) and as I chill here in Brooklyn this morning having my coffee and a NY bagel with cream cheese, it is awesome to check in and see my big bro and this beautiful Pontiac GTO. WOW! You just know it, Lou-my sneakers blown right off my stocking feet and you catch those boys by extending a hand up a la Jose Cruz circa 1987. Me? Knocked out 😵😵and slung over Dan's right shoulder like the lightweight and chick crazy Robin I am lol 🤪🤪(his exhaust puts more than a baby to sleep). Oh man, this GTO.....magic....and that color-so striking and captures the rip roaring speedboat nature of these 60's speed machines so well. I really dig those wood inserts on the IP and the great build quality these Pontiacs had. The best part? Dan's peeling out and throwing you back in your seat a bit, with big grins!!! I am knocked out😵😵 in my limp stocking calves 'n feet and slung over his shoulder in a heartbeat-100%. Thanks for all the car guy big brother awesomeness, Lou! JV Johnny ⚾⚾

Love the body style. I restored a ‘66 le Mans convertible. I bought a parts car that had factory air and moved the parts easily to my convertible. No tell-tale signs it wasn’t factory except the vin plate. It was easy with a donor car. Love this one and love the color. Thanks again Lou, another memory jog for me. The people you meet all seem so nice too!❤❤

What a beauty of a 1967 Pontiac GTO Convertible in that Mariner Turquoise color! I love the front with its split grille, with the GTO logo on one of these, its double vertical headlights and its hood adorned with that additional air duct and the arrow-style Pontiac shield. The cream combination of the interior is excellent; with those elegant seats and wood-trimmed instrument console and shifter. The final route was exciting with those accelerations (special mention for the last one, along with that final pass at full speed). Congratulations to Mr. Gallas, for this dream Convertible! Best regards, Lou!

[@loveisall5520]

My parents had a 1966 LeMans 4-door and I took my driving test in it. What I really love about this beautiful convertible is that it has Pontiac's superb a/c! I always loved the Pontiac way of putting 5 vents for it in front, thereby allowing the fan speed to be lower, so as to better listen to that AM radio with top-40 hits. This is a great car to drive, a cousin of mine had the '66 GTO with the 4-speed. Thanks for sharing!

A shift kit in the transmission would give it a good screech shifting into 2nd. The '66 GTO had a 389 V8, with a base 3-speed manual, optional 4-speed manual and the optional let-down of only a 2-speed automatic. 1967 was the first year that the TH-400 3-speed automatic was optional in any GM car outside of the full-sized GM cars. The '67 Corvette still only had a 2-speed PowerGlide option for an automatic.

[@davidgrisez]

Since I was born in 1951, during my teenage years in the 1960s a young man who was close to my age bought a Pontiac GTO from his relative. This Pontiac GTO had a rough idle because a racing camshaft had been installed in the engine. This Pontiac GTO had the two speed powerglide transmission. This exhaust system had been modified to a twin glass pack exhaust. Also the two exhaust pipes ended under the middle of the car. When I rode as a passenger in this car I noticed that the exhaust sound was unbearably loud. He also had the radio running at very high volume. So I did not like riding in this car. The sound level in this car was loud enough to cause hearing damage. Yet back in the 1960s this was how some people equipped their Pontiac GTO.

[@loucostabile]

Hi David, Thank you for sharing your story :-) Lou
