442,

-----I guess my only questions would be "how many of the synchromesh cars were 4spd"(probably the majority),and how many were 421HOs. There were,as you know,a whole bunch of Pontiac engine choices. Almost all the 4spd GPs I hear about were 389s. As this was the first year for the GTO I think its safe to say that a good number of guys who would have bought big-body Hi-Po Pontiacs took the bait and downsized. They realized that weight loss was cheap horsepower.Thanks for your input!.........Bill S
