Cool pic bud!

Geez. Wish I could park my GTO in my dining room...

(Editor's note: I've thought about it. My wife won't let me).

There should be a non-descript black '65 GTO floating around in the background of that pic somewhere.

I'll never forgive you guys for your "signage" at that event. ;)

That was the first indoor show I had ever done. I asked before I loaded up if you were bringing anything extravagant.

"Naw" you said. "Just the sign board that Scott has".

All of you had those painted lucite display boards (color coordinated) done up. Bill Schultz had a whole wall! of vintage photos and articles and memorabilia (you can see the back side of it in the photo below).

I had nothing.

I ran to the hotel, typed up and printed a little 8.5 x 11 paper describing the history of the car and stuck that under the windshield wiper. I took the Holmstrom/Newhardt "GTO" book (which I had with me to get autographed) and laid that on the hood, opened to the couple pages of my car.

That was it.

I learned my lesson that day, I'll tell ya.

It was funny monitoring the internet for reports of the show as they breathlessly came in. "OMG! They had the Car and Driver GTO, and a Beswick car, and the Ram Air V GTO, and one of the Thom McCan giveaway cars!"

…

…

"Oh - and a black '65."

That was the show where Scott spent so much time wiping on your car I finally had to ask him to stop.

He was generating so much white lint that I was getting tired of wiping it off my car.

;)

Nor had I. Scott brought the board he displays at his shop 'cause I wasn't prepared for class!

Your car was/is the benchmark, though! A show-goer mentioned the windshield wipers on the '64 appeared too polished. Well, Scott was within earshot and the '65 was within eye shot - the Pepsi Challenge was a tie - and so windshield wiper learning was had. Fun show fo sho!

Coupla cool angles by Rich Truesdell ...

She's a peach, and a very special one at that!

Love the red lines!

At Autorama at the moment by Scott ...

Just talked to Scott T at the show.

Wow,she's a beauty!

Was he on his best behavior?! Didn't know the car was going til yesterday morning - have some local stuff this weekend, but figure it's in pretty good hands!

----I'll be seeing it in about 3 hours.....Bill S

We talked on the phone,and you know it's in good hands alright.

----The car looked really good. Typical of a Scott T resto!....Bill S

Thanks Bill!

First Place for a 15-year-old restoration, and "Street Achievement" award for assorted Woodward antics?! Good goin' Scott & Jim!! (feel pretty lucky to have a chance to drive that rascal!).

What a Handsome Dude!

Great piece of history, one of my all time favorite cars.

What a beautiful GTO, especially with the red lines!

Much better photo than the one with that guy standing in the way.

That Gurney piece from Laguna was only twenty years after the original, now it's pushing sixty. We are old..

He said the technology gap is too big, and that a grown-up trading in a Cadillac might have a surprise (grinnin' the whole time, btw!) ...

Legend!
