| Freedom Hill car show in Sterling Heights, Michigan |
The show was held August 12, 2001. It was sponsored / hosted by the Woodward GTO Tigers Club. This was an outdoor show held on a very hot day at Freedom Hill park. All pictures were snapped by Craig George from Yorktown, Indiana. His email address is mrgto1965@starband.net. There were quite a few GTOs at this show. Craig estimates that there were between 250 and 300 cars there.
This deep purple 1965 GTO was for sale. Those are Rally I wheels.

trunk?

Sometimes, when you modify a car, the engine gets too tall to occupy the
stock engine compartment. Sometimes the hood needs cut, sometimes
the inner fenders have to be removed...just depends on how radical the
car ends up.

Photographer Craig George had
the only '74 GTO at the show. It is Admiralty Blue Metallic.
Craig says the reason he
took so many teal turquoise shots is because he recently bought a teal
turquoise '65 GTO with matching interior on eBay.
He plans a frame-off restoration on it. Every teal car
he saw was a shade or two different than the next one.
Craig is looking for a recommendation on a good engine builder near
the Yorktown or Muncie Indiana area.
