Very nice :biggthump: They also made the hatches for the GTO. The one I'm looking to pick up is a coupe. There were 5,335 GTO coupes and 1,723 GTO hatches made in 1974.

Id stick with the Goat. That is a once in a lifetime choice and if you passed, you might kick yourself in the ass one day.

Honestly I would say don't listen to a damn thing mook has to say about cars. Get the GTO, scratch the GTP, and have a bad ass RWD v8, its really that simple

[Mook]

you're one to talk. hows that type r doin

Oh Snap!!!!1!!

OK, I went up to Michigan to bring the car home ...

I haven't seen the car for two years and it's been stored in a very crappy climate (Michigan) and not driven. It was not what I remember. I had to turn it down.

For the amount of work that it needed, I just don't have the time for this kind of project. I'll get pics up later. It basically went from an awesome cruiser two years ago with a flawless engine compartment to surface rust everywhere under the hood and a moldy interior, the exterior is still in great shape.

It's unfortunate, but when I told my unlce I was going to pass, he said he didn't really want to sell the car anyways Which is good, because I initially felt bad for not having to time to take on this kind of project -- he's gonna hold onto it and I'll be helping with bringing it back to its old condition come spring.

I drove it, and it needs front-end work (suspension-wise) and the transmission is questionable.

So, I'm back to the GTP, and will be dumping some go-fast goodies into it soon enough so I'm not bored with the car anymore.

 

[Mook]

sucks about the goat tho...but at least its staying within the family no matter what

 

[Bru]

Very true, I did not want it to go elsewhere.

 

[Mook]

sooo whats the plan for the prix then?

 

[Bru]

Headers, rockers and intercooler. Just a basic setup, nothing crazy. But right now there's no new full-sizers on the market, so I may just run the rockers and headers, scan it, and see if I can drop a pulley size. I'd like to hit 13.5s without the intercooler.

 

[Mook]

no one offers a full size ic right now? wtf

try hitting up clubgps classifieds maybe

 

[Euro]

Sucks to hear bout the GTO!! Sounds like he's letting the car go. And since it was so nice, it doesn't sound like it's going to look up for that car for a while. One of those "I'm going to restore it one day" sort of deals.

 

[Bru]

I take that back, I think ZZP may have their standard full-size available. I haven't kept up on it for a while.

 

[bluzohh6]

the type r is just fine, it will be gone soon enough

 

[Mook]

little late to the party eh?

 

[WhiteDevil]

Get the LS2 and it wont be that slow out of the box. Just do some suspension work and itll be quicker then stock.

I remember you mentioning a turbo setup. When you get closer to de-modding let me know what you're gonna do with the intercooler. I usually prefer to buy new, but if it's a complete kit I may be interested if the deal is right.

 

[Yaj Yak]

yeah... now that i got a second ride, i can take apart the prix... so, hopefully (crosses fingers) this boat show next week and weekend will oblomerate my credit card bill from last month, and then the fun will begin. ill let you know for sure

 

[Bru]

No problem. Thanks, KJ.

 

[PANDA]
