My Dad had 66 GTO in 1970. Hey let me take it for a ride by myself? How many dads ever do that? 389 on the column ! Loved that car!

[@freepatriot6313]

Wow.... I was 10 yrs old and my dad drove up in his brand new '67 GTO.... blue with black vinyl top. His was a shade darker blue if I remember correctly... although it was close to this color. It had the red striped tires and 400ci w/ auto and hurst shifter. He let me drive it.... sitting on his lap. Lots of memories. That thing would set you way back in the seat when he floored it. My dad was a Border Patrolman stationed in Comstock Texas. Just north of Del Rio Texas back then. Thanks!

[@billw192]

The darker blue was most likely Fathom Blue, are really nice color, especially with the parchment interior. Smart dad!

[@kertmustapha2367]

😅That is one of my all time favorite cars the 67 Goat! Beautiful!

Great looking GTO and in a beautiful blue.

I am a Pontiac nut. I love that car. I loved watching the restoration. The best part was unveiling and when their family showed up. That was great seeing the grandkids interacting with their grandparents. Well done people. Three cheers to V8 Speed. Loved it.

As you mentioned Kevin, better "drivability" was the goal and if it meant an assortment of non stock parts and even Ford brake parts to get it done then so be it. This is what hot rodding is about and kudos for an amazing job on an iconic American classic. 👍

Very nice Uber expensive build, But now it's too nice to drive it ! Pure garage queen

[@bigredc222]

Not at all, I'd drive it. How would you restore a car like that without it being expensive, let Earl Scheib paint it?

[@maxfastest]

@@bigredc222 I'd only restore something to be just nice enough to enjoy, without the panic and worry that some clown would wreck it or dent it , The few cars I've done expensive restorations on all ended up getting damaged by door dings , paint chips and wear n tear, and it's annoying. Now I just make em drivable and enjoy beating around in em

Nice Looker & Presentation - and so someday it will end up at Mecum or Barrett Jackson - and the +- $200,000 they spent will change hands - one millionaire to another - I didn't realize how good we had it when we could buy a used one, less that 10 years old, for less than $1000 - so goes life

Kevin, You and your employees do a Great/Awesome job restoring cars. Ive been watching your channel for a long time. I have a 1966 lemans convertible I want to restore.

Thanks Charles! As you can imagine, many of the original parts were too far gone to use, but we did re-purpose where we could. They kept the rest.

Beautiful rodstoration. I had a '66 with Tri-Power that didn't stop, turn or start very well. What a wonderful car you created, with all the "charm" of a '67 Goat that acts modern. Very surprised the engine wasn't rebuilt.

[@billyjoejimbob56]

First rate restoration and an excellent video production. For my tastes, your resto-mod "recipe" is just the right amount of "mod"... Suspension, disc brakes, fuel injection, vintage aire... but the look is still near perfect period original. Two questions: Did you and owner consider adding a 4L80E overdrive trans, and why was it not included? And, the tire and wheel combo looks great, clearly bigger than stock but perfectly suited to the car. What was your wheel source, size, and tire size?

[@V8TV]

Tires are BFG Radial T/A 235/60/15 and 255/60/15, with an OPGI Wheel Kit 15x7" and 15x8" PN GT0004. As for the transmission, the 4L80 is a great option, but at the time, the customer chose to stick with the 400. Thanks for the kind words on the car and the production!

[@daleandrews3552]

Boy, now THAT is a complete frame-off restoration, the way is SHOULD be done. Some have said that in these type complete restorations, the car ends up being as good as new. I can now see where that might be true. I mean if everything that's worn is either reconditioned, sand blasted and repainted or replaced, how could one go wrong?

[@V8TV]

Thanks for the feedback, everything on this one has been restored or refined. It even smells new inside!

Great show, but as always, I will never understand putting a ford product on a gm car and vice versa. Don’t care what you think. A Chevy 350 in a Mopar, a Ford caliper on a Pontiac. It’s all sacrilege to me. But again, great show. Please keep building and filming.
