Harold McCarty got tired of hitting deer with this car, so he added some HUGE driving lights to the front. Harold says: "This car is a great driver, 120,000+ miles when I parked it. Speedometer cable was broken when I got it. No rips in the interior. Snagged two deer with it though". The car has black bucket seats with a console, tach, E.T. wheels, and Corvette manual steering box. In case you're wondering, those lights are 1,000,000 candle power! CLICK->

This one was emailed to me by Mike Margozzi. It was taken at Bethel's Goat Farm which is a parts and restoration company in California. Mike says: "This place used to be soooo cool. The guy running it (Bruce Bethel) used to always have 6 to 12 cars around. Many of them nice. I took a few pics one day (10 or 15 years ago). Look at this garage! Is this heaven or what? The place is still in business, but is mainly a parts place now". CLICK->
Matt from San Antonio, Texas is restoring his 1968 LeMans hardtop. Here is Matt's story, "It was supposed to be a driver while my '68 GTO w/matching motor and heads was getting restored... the friend of eight years stripped and parted out my Goat and then amscrayed leaving me with no money and a worthless shell of a four speed GTO. This Clone has a '68 Firebird 400 with '67 GTO 670 heads, a turbo 400 with Dual Gate and has had it's fair share of bad machining and jerks with no integrity messing it up. The engine has only 600 miles on it but doesn't run. She's all I got left of my Goat but I love her all the same. Oh yeah, the roof had to be repaired because of the jerk that trucked it down to Texas from Utah scrunched the roof up inside his carrier and then popped the roof back out and didn't bother to own up to it."

Says Frank (MCoppolillo.@hotmail.com) - "I enjoy the restoration progress pics. I have wanted a "goat" or "Le Mans" since I was a kid. This site helps with ideas for colors, and quality of other cars. Like the junker pics."
