Bill Jacobs (now Hawk) was 2001 W. Jefferson so 1705 was just a few blocks to the East. Looks like it is a used car dealership now.

This Reef Turquoise 1966 GTO that I once owned made it into several magazines back in the early 80’s.

It was also used for the box art of a Revell model.

I packed all my belongings into the trunk and back seat of this car and headed west from my hometown Springfield, Illinois to the SF Bay Area in 1978.

It started out as a 4BBL. Automatic but I had it changed to a Tri-Power 4 speed a few years after living in California.
That’s what a lot of us did back in the day.

Today, it’s all about Factory Original Survivor cars for me.

Chris.

Is it the same one that appeared on the cover of Collectible Automobile magazine around 1984?

Yes, that was my ‘66 used for the cover of “Collectible Automobile” in Nov. 1984.
