      The 389 was long gone when we got the car. Its originaly a Tripower 4spd car. It had a Boneville motor in it (42 All pontiacs of that time have interchangable parts so we used the 428 and a Tripower from 1966. The 66 tripower was a little better than the 65. Plus the carbs are the aftermarket ones Rodchester offered in 67 or 68. They have all been redone and jetted up. It really runs good. And still looks stock under the hood. At least close to stock. Most people can't tell what isn't right for 65. As for the resto. The body was frame off restored before we got it. bodywork and paint was done. The motor etc was shamefull for as nice as the body was. So we pulled it and did all that stuff. Still have a few things interior wise we want to fix... Always something.

      When I saw that picture, a Beach Boys song popped in my head...

      "3 dueces and a four speed... and a 389..."

      Little GTO... inspired my dad to buy that car back when it was new.
