Crazy Old Guy (you will love this video)

Watch this guy drive. I would never ride with him but he embodies everything that has anything to do with musclecars.

That Goat ain't stock.

I'd drive with the ol' coot any day and twice on Sunday. Just 'cause he leans and the car sways don't mean anything. That's how cars were back then. Body roll was how you knew you were turning, lol

Wish I lived near that road, too

Lol why do you think its not stock? My dad has a 66 389 tri power, 2door coupe w/ a post. They're not as quick as our cars are, but they do alright. But the ole badger might be stretching those numbers a bit lol

I know that on a website like this, we get a lot of kids that just say anything

My 20 years of experience with old muscle cars is what makes me think that. Doesn't sound stock at all to my ears. It has more bark than my 462 with 7/8" primary, long tube headers.

The Goat that had the really impressive numbers that are sometimes cited for a "production" '64 GTO was specially prepped and modified by Royal Pontiac in Royal Oak Michigan.

This is exactly the GTO that Car and Driver tested in which they have the car doing 60 in well under 5 seconds and doing a practically unholy-for-the-time 13.1 second quarter mile with the tripower. Some of the more skeptical folks feel that a Poncho 421 was under the hood of that car, not a 389.

Road and track tested an actual production tripower 389 '64 GTO in March '64 and had a 14.1 second 1/4 mile at 104 mph. Not too shabby. Hardly great even for '64. It was beat handily by '63 Ramchargers

I prefer old muscle cars. I used to eat sleep and breathe them, and work on them every chance I had. I'd rather have your Pop's '64 than my Camaro. But I know they weren't as fast as nostalgia makes them

I can relate to this guy! I'm 62 and bought my 66 GTO in 1969 ( picture is from last week). His is stock and mine will do same.

Note three car seats in rear for my grandchildren, they love to go to car shows in "Papa's Car"

I respect your opinion, and im not a child im 24, and been around muscle cars my whole life, and what I continue to do for a living. But that hardly makes me an old hardass that thinks their opinions are fact. And if you doubt that my father doesn't have the car I just said he did I'd be more then happy to go take a few pics to prove otherwise.

Pretty sure he never said it was factory stock just how it came. Of course it has a full exhaust/headers under it, doesn't sound stock at all. (As I give my dad hell all the time as his is, they're pretty quite)

And we all know the marketing scheme back in the 60s They WAYYYY over advertised as far as track numbers go, yet claimed to underrate the HP for insurance purposes.

I know on sites like these some guys who've turned a wrench think they know everything. But still the only thing I asked was why do you think its NOT stock. Not sure why you feel the need to throw the claimed numbers of what these cars ran back in the day, or why that matters if this car is stock? Don't recall the old man saying what he ran in his, or how any of that was relevant to this car being stock.

Good looking Goat!! My dad's trying to talk me into repainting his and throwing on a vinyl top, impossible to find a set of the driprail moldings tho.

lol, I didn't mean you were a Kid that would just post anything. That's a preface to what I posted next. It was me telling you that I know you can't know my experiences, so I acknowledge that up front. I'm telling you I'm not a kid that just posts anything. And it's baloney that you respect my opinion by the way. That's just some words.

I said I'd rather have your Dad's GTO over my Camaro. If you need to prove something, by all means post some photos to defend your family's honor. But bear in mind that nobody said that the GTO wasn't your Dad's.

So you want to know why I think that GTO is not stock? I answered that already. I thought you "respected my opinion". I posted, yesterday at 8:03 pm, quote:

Those 20 years makes me feel that I can advance an opinion now and again on the subject, without needing to ask permission first.

Just two and a half hours later, you post, quote:

You actually agree with me about it not being stock, but you still challenge me to answer a question that I already answered! This means you didn't bother to read what I posted. So drop the phony "respect" that you think I'm falling for. That's horseshit.

I'm going to assume you were drunk or tired from work or having a bad day or whatever but I want you to know that challenging people for things that didn't happen and for the answers to questions they already gave you is not the way to look reasonable or to have a discussion. I hope you have a better day today but please don't try to fool me again with your so-called 'respect', I've been around the block as many times as a 24 year old but I did that eighteen years ago, ok?

Your GTO would eat the '64 for lunch and ask for seconds. Nice car, but what I really want is your garage. Nice and clean and neat
