    I also had a '67 GTO when i was 17 (some 45 years ago) but let it go as a dumb kid. i'll sit back and watch what it will become. i've had a stroke on 02/2024 so my building days are over so I love to watch your videos and remember.

    My dad has a 66 gto he traded a 64 impala for back in 1978. Traded a cherry 69 firebird for a wrecked 69 gto judge. Slammed that judge powertrain in the 66 lost his license a couple times then parked it. It's been in the garage for over twenty years now. I've been wanting to tear into with him, but he just got diagnosed with cancer, so he is busy trying to prolong his life. He may even be selling it soon, sad to say. It was always my dream as a kid to build it with him. Praying God gives him more time so we might be able to. Thank you for all you do Merlin, you are an inspiration to many a gear head!

    I known a bit about those old hemis it appears to be a 241 as it has blank vavle covers but with out seeing the balancer and flex plate/flywheel and wieghing them its impossible to tell its either a 241 red ram or 276 firedome
    If its a 241 the balancer and flexplate as a comob will wieght about 110 ounces not counting the bolts
    If it a 276 firedome same parts will be about 94,ozs and even those they look similar cant be swapped without a machine rebalance
    Edit i missed the scripted on the vavle covers if those are the original covers it's a 1955 or 56 270 from a truck but if it's Canadian motor all bets are off they did wierd things

    Oh that GTO is going to be a fun build. Can't wait to see the rest of the car that you have been sitting on for so many years. Getting these old hot rods back on the road is honestly a priceless treasure being reborn and can be enjoyed by the younger generation to understand what a true muscle car is all about. Great video and seeing that junkyard and getting his place ready for a fence is going to be a project in its self. Seems like a lot of red tape to develop his property and whom ever complained and is making his life hard i hope they understand they they just made the biggest mistake and he makes them pay for it for many years to come. I'd fence off a section and start raising pigs letting the stenchy smells waft through the rest of the neighborhood to enjoy. Maybe even bringing in a few truckloads of manure! Yes I'm a great neighbor until you show me you're not then game on I can play more games than Milton Bradley could ever put out! Play hard and reap the rewards Karen!

That 454 was interesting. I've never seen blow-off valves in the valve covers. That's a really nice blue swing-set you got there! 😉 I don't know how many engines I pulled, using a swing-set from Sears. Man, you also got a couple of (what look like) MerCruiser outdrives!

Back then 77 they weren't worth the money they are today. I always liked the GTO. Can't wait to see what you do to yours that 5 ton was a pretty cool truck they are beast they were big equipment haulers back when I was in the Army.

    The time I saw my parents first Pontiac Tempest, I thought it was a GTO. It wasn’t. It was a 1967 Pontiac Tempest Sport Coupe 2 door post sedan. It was Plumb Mist purple with a black vinyl front bench seat interior. It has the bright window trim package with the lower rocker panel bright molding, but did not have the wheel arch molding. It had the same un segmented taillights as your car does. It came with the 2v 326 Pontiac V8, 2 speed power glide automatic, power steering, manual drum brakes and gear selector on the column. The interior had the gear selector on the column, idiot lights for gauges and a clock in the dash that lasted the life of the car and worked perfectly the whole time. And kept very accurate time. It had those full Pontiac hubcaps and single exhaust. It was a great car. When my younger sister graduated high school, it was given to her. She had it for a number of years after that.
