Been MIA forever. Here’s my recently revitalized 67 GTO.
I’ve had this gem since ‘08. It was my Dad’s before I got my hot little hands on it. It’s been off the road for some time slowly getting the engine rebuilt. Finally got it done last year.

Thanks!
For some particulars regarding the build. What precipitated this was a wiped cam lobe. That lead to the discovery of a burnt exhaust valve. So then it was on. Good thing, too as all the bearings were wiped out from all that metal flowing through. As long as I was doing it, I was going to do it right. This engine started life as a 400 CID unit. I opted for a forged stroker crank (4.125), forged rods, forged pistons, and a roller cam. I had a set of larger chamber heads (6x-4) to bring the compression down to pump gas livable levels. It’s about 9.2:1. I rebuilt the Q-jet I had for it. With the new stroke factored in, it’s a 461 and It runs pretty good. I still need to get things dialed in with the carb and ignition tuning, though.
First snow in the V60 - we did a FWD one as we had no plans of moving to a snow state when we bought it. Honestly, the traction control and stability surprised the hell out of me, this was up in Wisconsin and we headed back before roads were really plowed and it chugged along pretty well.
Company car was DOA. Newer Chevy work truck fill in. Had the turbo four in it. Interesting. Seems a better fit than the NA V6.
Added washer fluid I ran out this winter so far the blizzaks work great in the snow.
