Thanks Carl is a bit of a joke around my friends. We all car her Homo Purple I am ok with it. It is a fun ride to drive. I just put her to be for the winter not before doing a little smoke show for my neighbors.

Check out the vinyl top on this 67 GTO. I took this photo in 1976 at a strip we used to race on between Keremeos and Osoyoos.

Is that factory? I know Mopar had the mod top in the seventies.

I know about the Mopar Mod Top, but I think Mopar was first to offer something like that, and it was 69 or 70. So this was probably an add-on when it was a few years old. I do remember these tops being available from upholstery shops back then.

 The Colour is a 1965 GM Paint code P ( Iris Mist) for B.O.P or Evening Orchid Metalic for Chevrolet. I bought a pint of the original paint and had it matched to basecoat clear coat.

With the new convertor going in this winter it might creep into the high 11s Going from a 11 inch 2800/3000 stall to a 10 inch 3300/3500. Its a big heavy car with my fat a$$ in it. over 4200 lbs

You are certainly to the point that nobody will be laughing at your car any more!

I saw a 65 GTO that colour as a calendar car recently. Beautiful car.
