Yes the motor is original to the car and was a dealer option only 12 original XS (Also known/sold as Bob Cat or Ram AIR 1 packages) 67 GTO's are known to be in existence today my dads/mine is one of them and has the lowest miles of the group as documented with PHS, this car cam equipped from the factory with the XS engine, M21 close ration 4 speed, 12 BOP with 3.90 and safety track, functioning ram air, and 14" american racing torque thrust II's.

The Bob Cat equipped 421 tri power 1964 GTO ran 11.89 @ 123.28 mph factory as tested from road and track, there were just over 2100 of those cars built and ordered with a 421 most were wrecked either playing on streets or tracks over the years. Road and track also tested its 0-60 at 4.6 seconds the same as the 05-06 GTO. That MPH with current suspension/tire technology would make it a factory 10 sec ride today. Sad it wont be seen today as anyone who has one of these cars wont risk destroying the only machines that will make more money than some of the rare mopars. The people from the PHS to my dad he was crazy when they asked what he was doing with the car and he told them he was going to drive it.

This was possible in 1964 due to a close ratio M-21, 3.90 posi BOP 12 bolt, and the tri power equipped 421 rated at 425HP from the factory. Recent engine testing on new age dyno had it making 485 HP and 520 FT LBS in stock form this testing was done @ Jim Butler racing inc.

Not all GTO's were created equal. Most companies re-badged there cars SS, or BOSS. Mach 1 ect Pontiac didn't do anything different to the exteriors so you never know what you were going to run into. I know my 60s muscle car history pretty well.

YOU'RE GAWDAMN RIGHT!! :mrgreen:

that thing must be nasty. a car like that running 123mph in the 1/4 would need to be making a shit ton of power. would like to hear it running!
my dad has a couple of '67 442s. one has a ~410cid and the other a 468cid. both autos, both 3.08 gears...... not rocketships, but they run good. prob. somewhere in the 13's.

This guy gets it. There is a reason we dont have top dog races anymore.

You don't know!

Coming from the guy thats driven his car 3 times in the past year.....

bout the 3rd time you had to back a promod out of the driveway you'd be like fuuuuuuck that thing. it can sit there. i'll take the camry.

And that reason would be?

Camaro all day. Twice on Sunday. FACT!

Yup!

LIES!

you guys clearly haven't been driving a race car. or you're 18 years old.

^lol

I said it before. I really dont like diggler.

Jeremy is the man.

lol if you haven't hated driving one of your own cars before, you wouldn't understand.

thanks for all the neg reps!

Welcome. What most of you fucks complain about, I'd drive to Sunday services. I dont give a damn how hot it is, how cold it is, whether it has AC or not. I shawnboymoody give no fucks.

SBM hasn't kept a car long enough to drive it on the weekend! :poke:

You did it now. :hide:

how radical were your cars, shawnboy?

X2.

Give the man a break. He probably would be as happy as a pig in slop to have a running race car these days.

And that isn't a slam on SBM.

i hope he's at least driven a car with a spool, slicks, funnycar cage, tall cowl hood, low seating position, no power steering, and huge cam....

No race car here, enjoying my car ftw.

why did you take your wheelie bars off?

Didn't need then once I figured out the suspension lol

All my cars/trucks are spooled or welded or DEEtroits. Aint nobody got time for a posi. Slicks? Check. Never fool with anything less than a M/T drag radial. Havent had a Mustang with power steering yet. Most have had no wipers or defrost. Rain-X FTW. Huge cam? What is huge to you? Oh, no power brakes either. Never had a funny car cage tho. Never had a need for anything larger than 4-5 cowl hood either.

Ive only been without a car of a couple months..... I'ts not like its been a year lol

FWIW I kept the silver car over a year. Thats a pretty long time for me.

so you drive a spooled car with slicks, no power steering, and no power brakes to work every day?

and the Pussy Of The Year award goes to...drum roll please

Digs. I don't know how often the ole boy drove it to work, but he drove it to my house picked me up and drove all the way to Dorchester. Including a gas stop on the way.

Like I said it was just to be funny.

why would that make someone a pussy?

how fast was it? for 8 months last year i drove a car that went 7.40's n/a with a 6 speed. had no air. 60 miles a day. does that make me a hero now?

did it have a power assist clutch?

ray drove the loudest car in the world for 2000 miles in one week

thats awesome, seriously. but im sure it sucked riding 2k miles in the loudest car in the world. if it didnt, thats awesome too. glad you enjoyed it.

yes my car had a power assist clutch. its hydraulic. also power everything else. stock interior and full weight.

im wondering why shawnboy hates me.... what did i do to him? and why am i a pussy for questioning someone driving a car like his to work everyday? if he does, great. glad he enjoys it.

He doesn't hate you, you would know if he did lol

The definition of street car will never be defined in a state that has no State Inspection Sticker. //end thread
