Gray 1966 GTO project car owned by 15 year old Jonathan Taylor. His brother tells this story, "I used to own this car. I traded it for my 69 to my father. He then gave it to my little brother. It is sitting waiting for a restore. I got an engine for it out of a 69 Tempest that I paid $100 for."

Burgundy 1966 GTO sport coupe owned by Kirk Meeker from Cranesville, Pennsylvania. Kirk comments, "I got the car about 10 years ago when my Dad passed away. My Dad bought the car from a local Pontiac dealer in Girard, Pa. The salesman that sold him the car in 1966 originaly bought the car for his son as a graduation present. A few weeks after having the car, the kid (Hossman) was picked up for drag racing and his Dad made him sell it. The funny thing is that my girlfriend's Dad is friends with Earl Hossman (the salesman). So few years ago Earl came to a car show I was at and we stafted talking. Earl took a picture of the car and sent it to his son in Phoenix Az. They were both suprised at how well the car was taken care of over the years. As of today 1-2-04 the car has 51,372 original miles on it. The car is all original including the paint. The lady in the picture is my Mom the 2nd owner along with my Dad."

Naked 1966 GTO. If you're gonna do it, you're gonna have to take it all apart. Tyler continues, "I did put a power disc brake kit on it. I still have all of the restored fourwheel disk brake system that it came out of the factory with. After all, I am only fifteen years old and won't be sixteen until early May. (I need to be able to stop)"

Tyler Welken finished his Martinique Bronze 1966 GTO hardtop. Tyler put it back to original colors with the fawn colored vinyl top. Tyler tells us, "I got it in the seventh grade to restore with my Dad. It has the original Tri-Power 389 and the original 2-speed Powerglide. This car has been a huge project and it is for the most part complete. It did have a factory A/C system but I have not yet been able to get the money to put it back in. This car also had factory wonder-touch power steering."
