1968 Pontiac GTO

A Pontiac or a GTO just ain't right to me if it does not have aTri-Power under the hood....

1966 was the last year for that option. I am sure the Q-Jets were fine but for the street the "trips" were cool.......Some extra work to keep them running right and avoid fuel leaks......but worth it to me......

I had a '67 GTO with just about every option available......400 Turbo 400 Hurst Dual Gate....Power everything including disc brakes.

I raced a friend numerous times with his 1970 GTO and beat him every time....I believe his car was heavier.
I spent a lot of time on my Q-Jet getting it to accelerate from an idle to wot with no bog or sag.......

My car would chirp the tires on the 1-2 shift and I loved that little sound.....

I think it would have run mid to high 14's at the strip. Never raced it.
