Now THAT is a Continental Kit! Plus fender skirts and whitewalls. The very essence of the '50s. Real classic. I'm sure they upgraded the valve system, which was "suspect" on those engines.
My first car was a 58 Chevy Del Rey with a 6 and 3 on the tree. I paid $35 for it in 1972 and it ran great. The only problem is this year has a cheesy yoke design that connects with a bushing to the back of the differential. The bracket on the back of the differential would rip out from the torque and would have to get it welded every other week.
I remember one of these in blue without the conti kit parked on a driveway when I was a kid walking to school. I was impressed then as now and love this one.
Happy to find your channel. I have a 1964 Bonneville convertible and just love these cars. Nice collection you have there. I have vintage British cars mostly but have a soft spot for these Pontiacs as we had a 1965 Gold & Black Bonneviille Convertible when I was a boy. I just had my 389 gone over and she's not broken in yet. I subed to your channel and will be watching your work. Bobby
I have a 425 that I'll be rebuilding. I don't know the mileage but I imagine it's low. It is locked up from sitting on a trailer under a tarp for years. With any luck I'll build a good street/strip engine out of it.
Wow now that was some transformation and I gotta say I love the black and I'm not even a fan of black but this GTO must have been made for that color cause I would not change nothing on it now. congratulations to whomever built this car you done an amazing job. Oh and I gotta say I could see this car coming down my street with that back in black jamming out and hearing that roar of that motor "awesome"
