Dan Murzyn owns this 1971 GTO hardtop. It is painted Metallic Garnet/Ruby. This was our Picture Of The Week for 3-22-09. Dan tells us more, "I purchased this car in 1978 for $750. It has been a lifetime project to get it to where you see it today. I was 18 and had lots of ambition and enough money to get things going. I did the engine and transmission. I bought everything off the shelf that my local Pontiac dealer had left in stock at that time. The car was originally Tropical Lime and a vinyl top, but I couldn't stand either - so off they went. I got married soon after, and for many years the car sat under blankets. I would always make lists and try to do something weekly, even if it was just the ashtray! I painted it in 1990, and it sat again for many years, as child #3 was born then. By 2001 as my oldest son by then was 16, he asked for his birthday 'to see what that GTO can really do.' So I got busy, finished the brakes and fuel lines, and installed the interior. A few days of breaking everything back in, since it hadn't really moved in almost 25 years. I got it running pretty good. My kids thought it was like a couch - something that NEVER moved. I told my boy to grab the video camera, and a few two liter pop bottles of water, and not tell your
Mom - let's go! We went out to a good area in the Forest preserve. I had him get out and squirt the water under the rear wheels, then grab the camera. I did the burn out to end all burnouts, figuring if the tires blew, it was time for new ones anyway! Well, it was loud, it was smoke filled and cool! I put it in reverse, did a 'Starskey an Hutch' turn around, and yelled to him 'WELL?!' He said 'Dad, thats the coolest thing I have EVER seen you do!' I asked him if he got it all on camera, and he hung his head, nearly cried and said 'I forgot to hit record.' I laughed, and said, 'Well, Happy Birthday son, it was really only for you anyway!' I have taken it to a few car shows, and cruise nights and enjoy the
comments I have gotten about it. It actually looks like I had envisioned it would, so many years ago when I was a kid. Every time I drive it now, I feel 18 again - better than any medicine!"CLICK->
