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."

Burgundy 1966 GTO hardtop owned by Tom Evans from Crestline, California. It looks almost like a candy color. Tom adds, "I got this 66 GTO a few years ago on the internet from Pete in Colorado.

Here's how Brad's Candlelite Cream 1966 GTO hardtop originally looked. Brad adds, I went to Las Vegas in Nov 2000. I took a gamble to check it out, the rest is history. It was a survivor with no rot or rust. Got it delivered at 7 below zero. It wouldn't start, the starter locked, oil like tar, and it almost fell off the ramps."
