Brutus and a couple more straight axle Goats

1965
 

By and Large the favorite year GTO.

This ‘65 is a Sport Coupe (post) that is rolling on 5 spoke aluminum wheels.
No outside rear view mirror.

Slightly raised in front.
I’d bet it’s a 3x2’s 4 spd. meant to terrorize back in the day.

Plus Black & Yellows.

Saw this one earlier today on Facebook, I thought it was cool.

Stephen Pontiac 68 RAII GTO raced by bill Eckstrom
Pontiac performance division Bristol CT raced a 69 RAIV bird and a 70 RAV bird through 73
Article in Jan 72 Rodder and super stock magazine annoyed GM enough that they pulled some of their. Parts that were at Butch Elkins shop Diamond auto at the time and kicked them Out of the racing program
Although let’s face it after 73 was there really any worth while racing anymore. .
The car was marigold yellow not Mayfair maize as many think. Their signs were bright yellow and marigold matched the sign better.

Captain Raymond Clark Stacks ...

Was it a "special paint" car?

That would explain the steel front bumper, as endura was not available with special paint.

Or - might have been ordered that way on purpose, as the steel bumper was (presumably) lighter than the endura system.

Tenney,
Cool photo.

Possibly Palmetto Green with white pinstripe.
No outside rear view mirror.
Deluxe steering wheel.
Manual shift with white ball.
Red line tires.

Pinstripe
 

Huh, just noticed that pinstripe.
Seems to be a black stripe on fender and a white stripe on quarter panel.

Old photo playing tricks.
The white stripe is a bit to wide for a factory application.
Should be a black stripe on that color with the interior being dark.

Two lane black top judge
 

Two lane black top judge said to be used in a number of TV shows after the movie.

Awesome !!!

Thanks Steve, I realized that it was not where it should be after I posted it , I posted the 64 GTO and was on a roll, didn't know I would offend anyone and couldn't move it. Appreciate your help

68/69/70s

Recently found this one of our '68.

'69 GMC in the background; '65 is in the garage. That's where it sat the whole time I was growing up.

----Not entirely positive but I don't think I have ever seen any car, much less a Trans Am Firebird with the rear tires that far out side the fender edges!....Bill S

I think these are all Don Gay's 1st funny car, Infinity 1?

My Dad's 1968 GTO taken around 1971 in our driveway in Saugus, MA. Verdoro Green, Black top and interior, 400 4-speed.

I should mention our '68 was Springmist Green, black interior, 400, bucket seat no console column shifted automatic.

The "GTO" decals on the quarter panels blew off in the car wash. The car was painted black on the decklid and up around the rear window.

Photoshop rendering here, for discussion purposes:

My dad bought this '64 GTO in 1976 for $750 while we were living in Minot ND. Was originally a CA car as it had a 1972 CA inspection sticker on the windshield and no rust. When he bought it.. it had '72 Malibu wheel covers.. blackwall tires and a black top. Car was loaded with options... A/C.. power windows.. etc.. Pic was taken in 1978 while we were living in Kennewick WA. He sold it a couple months after pic was taken. It was sold to someone in the Seattle area.

Pre-GTO, but Pontiac assembly. This is the first pic I've seen showing steering wheel crating on the line.
