Red 1968 GTO hardtop owned by Darrin Magro from North Haven, Connecticut. Darrin had this to say, "This car named Nitemare (that's the big block chevy owners nitemare). It runs 10.4s in the high 120s (through a full custom made 4' exhaust system) but hopefully it'll make the high nines in a year or two. It is all Pontiac (455 th400) and is very streetable and sees limited street use on it's way to shows and local cruises. I can give you more numbers on the car but if I give you the girls number she'll kill me."CLICK-> 
Frank Rinaldi sent me this picture. It was scanned from a vintage black and white ad. He colored the car in red. I changed the color to acid green! This was our Picture Of The Week for 3/22/98. CLICK-> 
This was Picture Of The Week for 4/5/98. It is from Ken Frederick who says: "I found the picture of my GTO in the homecoming parade my senior year, 1979! Its got the 70's look with the big 50's on back all jacked up and all. The picture was taken by the local newspaper so it's a black & white photo. For some reason they put my car on the front page of the newspaper instead of the Senior Class Float. I must admit a GTO is better than any float so who could blame them. I was totally surprised though the day after the parade when I saw it in the newspaper. - Ken (ahh, the good ol' days) F."CLICK-> 
Ken Frederick roasts the meats of his '68 GTO. Here it is, hot off the pavement. You see it at the Tulsa International Raceway dragstrip in 1986. Ken says his car ran a 13.30 second quarter mile at 105 MPH.CLICK-> 
This photo was taken in 1980 in Oklahoma City on a road that led to I-35. The road was closed due to construction work. Ken thought this would be the perfect place to do a few stress-relieving burnouts in his '68 GTO while in college.CLICK-> 
That day, Ken's friend was with him doing burnouts in his '69 Chevelle. Notice the Endura delete (chrome) bumper on the '68 GTO. The GTO emblem can clearly be seen in this photo. Like Ken always says: "Life is one big smokey burnout after another."CLICK-> 
This is a super-secret picture of what the 2068 GTO RamAirCraft will look like. This was our Picture Of The Week for 4/19/98.CLICK-> 
Greg Rothe contributes this low angle shot. This was our Picture Of The Week for 5/3/98. He has just finished this GTO after a 4 year frame off resto. He has owned the car since May of 1974. Good work, Greg!CLICK-> 
1968 GTO. This color is called House Of Colors Candy Blue Pearl. Wow! This was our Picture Of The Week for 8/23/98. Bill's car was red, see other pictures.CLICK-> 
We have some before and after pictures from Bill A. from Buffalo New York. It is a 1968 car with the 400 automatic transmission and 4.11 gears. Here you see the old quarterpanels that Bill chopped off the car.CLICK-> 
Bill shows us what his 1968 GTO looks like with the panels removed. This is a view people seldom get to see unless they hang around a body shop. Note in the picture you can also see some black panels leaning against the wall.CLICK-> 
Here is what the '68 GTO looks like when you weld the new panels into place.CLICK-> 
Bill shows us the engine compartment of his 1968 GTO. He says it was done by Jim Butler who bored it 60 over and also ported and polished the #62 heads.CLICK-> 
Frank's 1968 GTO was our Picture Of The Week for 10/11/98. Frank tells us: "I hope you like the way it came out. It took almost 5 years. It is the first time I've been involved in such a project and I'm glad it's over. I have shown the GTO 3 times in the 3 weeks it's been done and I have 2 trophys including one today from the Nutmeg chapter of the P.O.C.I. I have been looking for a 68 GTO model. If you know where I can obtain one please let me know." Frank's whole restoration can be seen in the frame-off restoration pages.Looking back at history, this was a busy week in 1998. This was the week that Britney Spears' recording career took off. It started with her first debut teen pop hit "Baby One More Time" going straight to #1 on the Hot 100 chart. CLICK-> 
This was our outstanding Picture Of The Week for 11/22/98 from Eddie Byas Jr. It's a 1968 GTO.PICTURE SET CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE ... |
