Nightwatch Blue 1965 GTO Sport Coupe owned by Bob Leenstra from Kent, Washington. Bob tells us more, "I purchased it at Barrett Jackson Auction Scottsdale 2006. The car was raced by Vanice Pontiac Chev from 1965-1970. It set the D Stock record at Kearney speedway in Lincoln Nebraska. Then the car was raced by private drag racer from 1970-1975. He had a tow bar hooked to the front of the car. It then sat for 27 years and then was restored to the way it came from the factory. It is a pillar post car with original documented 389 Tri-Power, 4-speed with 3:91 rear, and an original interior. It has 15,000 original miles. If anybody has pics of this car with the Vanice logo on the car or any info on this car, I would greatly appreciate any help. Bob Leenstra 253-261-1198"
