Bill and Cheryl Richards 1967 GTO project.

Here's the specs;

• 4 speed, posi-traction, or in Pontiac lingo—Safe-T-Track (gears changed to 3.36, I think the 4 speed version came with a 3.55). 

• The car has a front bench seat with a fold down arm rest.  Only around 500 cars were made with this arrangement so it was elected to leave it that way (it’s pretty comfortable anyway).

• Car was purchased in July 2010.  It had been stored for at least 10 years, If not longer.

• The engine was fired and ran for several minutes but it was decided to proceed with the restoration before operating the car.

• The car has the original GTO 400 engine but the heads were not correct. Original heads are now on the engine.

• The car has been disassembled and the frame was checked and some repairs completed along with the replacement of the body bushings.

• Body work has been completed and the car is  in the process of being painted.

• The paint selected is a modern base coat/clear coat urethane.

• An attempt was made to match this paint to the Pontiac Tyrol Blue.

• Completion is anticipated by the end of April 2011.

Good luck to Bill and Cheryl with this project . . . do you think it will make it to the CVC?? Keep us posted Bill!!
