Cages We talk about 'em every once in awhile, so what the hell? Probably get more play than the stupid FXR Forum... |

So, me and mrs. o have owned a '68 GTO convertible for a little over 25 years now.
Messed with it quite a bit, drove it, too. But as time when on, and life got busy, there was less and less time for the GTO. Finally, we got to the point of not even licensing her. She sat in the garage the last 12 years. Three weeks ago I got a little ambition, spent 8 hours going through stuff, like an oil and filter change, disassembled, cleaned and replaced the major gaskets in her Q-Jet, fresh fuel filter, pulled the plugs and squirted some Mystery Oil in each cylinder, turned the engine over by hand to make sure the engine was free, put in a new battery and pumped out the old fuel and replaced with fresh, and gave her a good looking over to get her road ready. She's still got her original 400, a rebuilt T-400 with a custom converter, 3.23 rear gear with posi, power drums, power steering, tilt wheel, Hurst his and hers shifter, factory air (which still works), AM/FM multiplex radio, and hidden headlights. How she looked then....... How she looks now....... The last two are bath only, no polishing or waxing...... We've managed to put a little over 250 miles on her the last few weeks and burned one full tank of fuel getting reacquainted with an old friend. She runs and drives good. Gets down the road nicely, too.
