Had he stood on the throttle, that Goat would have been kissing that truck!!!! He was giving a sample of a little bit of torque! Goodness, didn’t anyone see how the car was twisting and starting to come up off the ground when he simply “blipped” the throttle! That car is a monster!! Nicely done!
Man that 68 GTO sounded nasty mate and that 68 GTO looks a million times better than the newer GTOs (which are nothing but rebadged Holden Monaros from Australia).
Before I retireed that's what it looked like when everybody left the job at 4:00 in the afternoon it was not safe for anybody to cross the street especially the bosses we would aim for them
I have a built 1970 GTO 'Vert, 4spd, hood tach...in the 80's, my buddy (who owned a built 66 Goat), would do burnouts, and launches on his long, dead-end street...just for fun, we'd throw on his 11" Goodyear EAGLE slicks. I'm hear to tell ya, when it would hook on those slicks, it's a whole new feeling. No wheelspin...ALL kinetic energy. Pontiac TORQUE was an eye opener !
I'm subscribed to you now,cause the other day I seen one of your videos of this badass car and I lost connection and when it came back the video was lost in lost service but I found you again thank god man what a car cool cool cool
Mine lifts up like that too. Moroso springs up front. Don't get much time to work on it. On e85 w tunnel ram. In a vert. My cam might be a little rowdier than yours but you have a beautiful car there
nice camera angle. I had a junkyard refugee 69 Goat, triple green. Picked up a 4 door 1971 LeMans for $425, sold its dashboard for $400 and used its drivetrain since my goat had gotten the "1973 fuel miser special" setup, a 326 buick 2 speed swap-a-roo. Picked up 6X heads even though the factory 96's aren't bad (i wanted hardened seats and the heads were $75) and cut the factory cast manifolds from front to rear to port them rather than buy headers. It was so easy to make a Pontiac into a torque machine with OEM junkyard parts.
@@freakineagle Good for you! I'm 52 and feel my age when it comes to working on cars for more than a few hours. thinking i'm going to have to rig up a creeper than holds most of my tools. Honestly, backyard builds thrill me more than a $100,000 LS swap making 1,000 hp. I was blessed to have parents who could afford their own house (now I own it) so I could pick things up cheap--like an aluminum 389 intake or a free Olds 425 or $5 q jets--over the years, and lately have added more, like a Trans Am's 400 XX with edelbrock intake and rebuilt 6X heads for only $150. Now I just have to find the cars to put them into (I live in the rust belt). If they go faster than 13's and are reliable and brake well, I'll be happy with a fleet of "homebuilts" over one good award winner (already got a "busted knuckle" prize for a 1968 4-4-2 I picked up 5 years ago--243,000 miles but variable duration lifters and a switch pitch torque convertor on a manual valve body THM400 keeps it fun). hope to see more of your stuff.
@@daleemrick9816 right, the 326 is a Pontiac engine, and so the block has a BOP (Buick Olds Pontiac) bolt pattern on its rear for transmissions. So rather than the 2 speed Powerglide from Chevrolet, Pontiacs got the Buick two speed Super Turbine 300 transmission. It was better than the old Dynaflow, labeled "dynaslow" but not by a lot. BOPs in the early 1960's got something called a "switch pitch torque converter", that offered two different stall speeds. If you were light on the gas, you got something below 2,000 PRM stall, but if you jumped on the gas you got around 3,000 RPM. folks hunted junkyards for these and used a manual switch so one could have a "street and strip" choice. I have one of these now behind an Olds 455, and can say Hurst Olds truly missed the boat by not finding these units and installing them in 1968. Where they really shine is behind a solid lifter 427 chevy since most torquey BOP engines can pull from idle. But I digress.
Yeah I got a 69 GTO for over 30 years now but funny thing happened to me I once had a 71 Chevelle that sounded just like your son's GTO I'm backing out of the driveway and an old man neighbor of mine walking his dog stops looks at me and says Richard that car sounds horrible you better get a tune-up try to explain to him it's supposed to run that way but the look he gave me was priceless anyway the GTO looks very nice
Nice car!... That was my very 1st car in high school. I Paid $350 for it and it laid rubber all the home back in 1979... 400 automatic, dual gate shifter... nice car... it hauled-ass for 120k on odometer.... I shouldn't have sold it... 😕 Love your GTO!! 68' GTOs always special place in my heart.... ❤
