CLICK-> "A long time lady friend of mine, Linda Hilton, who I have known since high school sent you the picture of my 1965 GTO that you have so nice presented as this week's cover car. This was my first new car purchased with my own earnings when I was 21. I added headers and a racing cam, plus a few other extras. I ran 13 second 1/4 miles! Got several trophies at the drag strips in Wisconsin. When I raced it, I put on the slicks. It was special ordered due to the color which is Cypress Green. Cypress Green was not a Pontiac offered color, rather it was one of the colors for Chevrolet. I loved the color and they painted it at the factory. Linda e-mailed me and suggested I look at your site. What a surprise when I saw it. I received many citations from law enforcement personnel. One night, I got six tickets! I used to taunt the police and peel away near them or spray them with gravel and they could not catch me. However, one night, I raced it continuoulsy through several Chicago suburbs. Thinking I had lost them all, I quietly pulled into the driveway of a friend. Suddenly, multiple police spot lights were upon me. To this day, I still aggravate police but with my mountain bike and roller blades in Walnut Creek, CA. Although am 54 now, I have always been a runner and a bike nut. Thus, I go where I am not supposed to, the hills in the open space area, and downtown where cops have noting to do but hassle teens for skateboarding and roller blading. I wrote a letter to the chief and said if they could catch me, I would donate a $1,000 to their police association. So far, no pay outs! The GTO was wonderful and I am fortunate that it didn't kill me. Later, in mid 30's, I was able to afford a new Porsche. The Porsche was my favorite of almost 60 cars I've owned. However, the 65' GTO is my second favorite, and I had six Corvettes, and some other nice cars. If someone e-mails you and says they have the car, please let me know. " |
