Hi Ya'll
I am 60, I have wanted a 65 GTO since they were new. By the time I could afford a car the 65's were considered old and the smog laws had killed the musclecar power. I swerved off into sports car territory until now. I have been looking for a 65 LeMans/GTO clone for a few months and have looked at many "rust free" cars that were unsafe to drive they were so eaten up with rust.
My plans for the car are to upgrade the suspension to make it handle better, install a LS series engine for the lighter weight, increased power and mileage.
Looking forward to learning about these machines.

Mike
