In my younger days, I would always look for car show to enter my hot rods into... I never won much of anything... the guys who took home trophies always trailered their cars in and still spend hours detailing every nut and bolt. I have NEVER trailered a car to a show..I would drive it in.. spend some time knocking the bugs off the winshield and drive home... I guess my trophy was actually getting to enjoy what I built.. Thanks for watching, I appreciate it!
I haven't ridden in a 66 GTO since 1970 in El Cajon California when I was 13/14 years old. My neighbor Bob had an older brother, Ron Witek, who took me to my Little League games a couple of times and other places. He would blast Black Sabbath from his 8-track player and got me hooked on that band because everything Ron did was cool. Black Sabbath, The Wizard, Hand of Doom, Electric Funeral... Pontiac 66 GTO and the 8-track was the ultimate. I remember he got a new 8-track of a band called Atomic Rooster and left me listening to it in his car as he went inside to get something at his house. One day we were going up Avocado Blvd at a slight incline, and he floored it. WOW! My back was pinned to the seat the likes I've never felt since that day! The 1966 GTO has been my favorite ever since, because everything Ron Witek did was cool, you know.
My first "pinned to the seat" experience was in 1981 at a ripe age of 11, in my friend's brothers 1969 El Camino running an insane alcohol burning big block. We were getting a ride to basketball practice and I remember it like it was yesterday... all three of us stuffed in the bench seat, Led Zepplin Fool in the Rain blasting on the stereo, my arm hanging out of the open window, not a seatbelt in sight and us getting so sideways up the road to the school with the tire smoke just billowing out of the back...the sight, sound and smell of everything going on was the hook I needed to seek big horsepower cars.
Back in the late 70s I had a 65 GTO, basically a no frills Lemans with a big appetite 389. Later had a 67 Lemans, nice luxury ride, gave it to my sister when she needed a car to haul her kids around. Wish I still had those rides.
I had 3 GTO's at a different points in my life, a '66, a '68, then a few yeara later I saw a '67 that I had to have. So I bought it and kept it a coule of years.
We used to have stylized cars, stylized buildings and even stylized appliances. Now look at us. People are more interested in their coffee and their computer games.
I'm watching this in the dead of winter in Canada, my '62 Biscayne all tucked away in it's garage until the snow melts and the salt is washed off the roads- four months from now. Such a long wait to take it out and look for some friends to play with. Guess I'll have to watch videos like this in the meantime...so thanks for posting! LOVE your GTO.
yourbeekeeper Sucks even more to be in H.S right now all my gen has access to is honda civics maybe and old crown vic but for the most part not very many choices in terms of performance.
Nice car... I was home with my 20 month son and he was crying until we saw your drifts. He stopped imediately (!) as he heard the V8 drifting! Thanks man!
I bought this car in 1987 and paid $400 for it. Been sitting in a garage for 12 years and full of cats when I dragged it into the sun light. Got it running with a new battery and can of gas... drove it to a gas station two blocks away on four flat tires...Put a fresh tank of gas and got all four to hold air long enough to drive home. I knew from that moment that I would never get rid of such a great machine.
I always liked the cars that were not common. I had first gen Firebirds and Camaros, and I really love the look of the '69 RS Camaro with the headlight doors, but growing up, they were everywhere. I am also a fan of the '71 Duster, '59 Chevy trucks... oh the list goes on and on. I have had dozens of cars/trucks come an go in my life, but the GTO has staying power. I am sure I will buy and sell dozens more, but the GTO will always have a spot in my garags.
God Bless the Pontiac GTO. Dream car is a 66 or 67 GTO. Dad had several before I was born. He showed me pics of his when I was a child, been my dream car ever since. Thank you so much for the videos. It's good to see a classic muscle car video going out and having fun. Prius' and small cars have really changed the world. Thank you again, long live the Pontiac GTO!!
@@yourbeekeeper it sounded like you did it in front of a cop. if that is the case then it seems as though I just saw the stone cold steve austin of the muscle car world lol
One of the best videos ever!! I'm 62 and have oil/trans fluid/rear end oil in my blood. This car takes me back to the days of my 66 Chevy with a 396/375 Positract and early 400 Turbohydramatic. I can feel the rush as you hammer down on this absolutely beautiful Goat. Man, what a great job. Keep up the good work! Wonderful can and a really good funny video!
I was given my brothers 67 Lemans when he went to Veitnam in 69.Spent 5 years trying to make it into a GTO.All my early dating history is in that car. The dash shot was such a welcomed memory. ..thanks for the great video
I still have my 66 GTO, and it still rocks, I have the original 389, but i put a 455 CID w/ram air 3 heads in it and replaced the 2 speed power glyde (glide)with a turbo 400, and cruze to Ronny and the daytonas, BTW no pasenger seat cause i drive alone, and dont have to hear the misses tell me im driving to fast, lol
+John Gotti I prefer to ride alone as well. I only have an AM radio in mine...so it's just the sweet, sweet sound of the all mighty Pontiac that floats into my ears.
Awesome video! I have a 1964 Ford Falcon with a V8 that I'm fixing up, it's not painted yet other than primer and there's a couple minor electrical issues that need fixing but it's getting towards being road legal. I'm so used to driving my slow ass pace arrow rv everywhere that when I had just finished fixing up the carburetor on the Falcon and I went to take it for a test drive I laid down rubber on my driveway and my landlord got pissed at me haha. It really reminds you how much power those vintage cars really have. Keep up the good videos!
Learned many years AGO DON'T LEAVE THE IGNITION IN THE ON POSITION UNLESS YOUR RUNNING, that's if still got points lol. Nice GTO, driven hard like they should be driven. Wish I had my old 66 Pontiac Lemans still, just a 326 2 barrel but that engine was very surprising for what it was. Reminds me of the the good old days back in the early 1990's when I had it.
I had a '66 gold/gold in the early '70's. It had Pontiac's 2 speed Powerglide tranny. The only thing about it I didn't like. Full power and air(except seats and windows). I drove it as my every day car as a college kid. This was before the oil crunch, or embargo that would come a bit later. You could buy leaded premium gas for around 30 cents a gallon! I didn't "kiddo" it or beat it, just cruised around in it like a grandma! I ran it up to 120 mph once and don't know what it's top end would be b/c it only had 120 on the speedometer. I loved that car and got many compliments on it b/c it was so damned PRETTY! It got where it was burning oil around 115,000 miles and I sold it, regretted it, and - like a lot of goat owners - wished I had it back. Ah, the memories.
Sir, I just want to say for starters what a gorgeous car your 66 is. While watching your video, I thought those roads looked familiar! I might have a friend for your goat. I have a 65 Post GTO being reborn here in Sonoma County. I would love to have the privileged to share pictures, stories and one day get a gathering of these beautiful cars! I'm in the Santa Rosa area. My 65 Post Coupe is up on a home built rotisserie as of this moment, getting the best cancer treatment possible.
I live in California and all the newer paints are water based base/clear. I agree, they don't have the depth the older paints used to have. I used to love to paint the old lacquer... lay on the coats and cut/polish it to a mirror shine. The paint on my GTO is bullet proof... it has taken decades of use and still shines up nice...not showroom nice anymore, but an above average driver nice.
Those car are built for fun and pleasure and you use it like their or suposed to be used ! Thank you, make me happy ! ( A french youtuber ! (i hope my english is not too bad))
I had a 66 GTO. Drifting wasn't even a word, in that car. It was usually a near death experience. Considering I was still rolling on the Uniroyal redlines, and air shocks.
+silverback silverback. Yeah, we would simply call it "getting sideways" haha. When I bought this car in 1988, it had been in deep storage for about 12 years and it had bald, dried out bias ply tires. Driving it home was an E-ticket ride for sure.
+yourbeekeeper Yup when I got mine , the red lines were bald as hell, but they looked pretty fat. They were baked though; once I got 'em smokin', they kept smokin'. Got a ticket every 6 months' whether I needed it or not. Exhaust was raunchy, like in the video.
People who have never driven or ridden in a car like this don't understand. It's a completely different experience than any other car, even modern muscle. It's such a different beast and requires such a different approach to driving, it's really amazing. Btw HUGE kudos to you for driving it the way it's meant to be driven. I can't stand people who buy these cars just wanna pussy foot around and be seen in them or think they're too precious to really drive. You are keeping the true spirit alive
I love how you drive it the way its meant to be drove and not baby it like most people who own muscle cars, when I have my 72 Chevelle SS out I get crazy looks from all the older guys guys because I drive it like you lol
@Nascarlee Hey Lee, I used to sacre the pants of my passengers when I would get the care completely sideways and still be able to keep 'er between the lines. I love the long wheel base and power steering to finesse the car down the road. Thanks for watching.
Honestly,I don't keep up with current values as I have no desire to sell it. I ran the 350 because it was a direct replacement to the power glide without any modifications to anything.A very skilled transmission builder assured me he could build one to be as strong as any 400 could hope to be with the benefit of being lighter than a 400.I ran an external trans cooler, custom built torque converter (stock stall) and aside from changing the fluid have had no issues.
@Searsnut11 Thanks buddy.... I have had a long love affair with this body style. Bought this car when I was 19. Had several dozen cars in my life, and this one has survived all my hotrod phases.
If you had done that same route in 1968 or so, you would have had a few challengers to race. I know because I'm 72 and had a 65 GTO back then. I didn't lose many street races.
Nice car and I dig your video. I've got a '69 GTO that I just had the 400 motor rebuilt with a RAIV cam, Edelbrock Performer intake and stock RA headers. Looking forward to breaking her in and turning some heads. I like your sense of humor.
okay you can make fun of me if you want, but im 18 years old and have a fascination for old muscle cars such as yours. I have to say the Pontiac GTO is my favorite of all cars possible, and hopefully i can acquire a beautiful cars like yours one day. thank you for the video i loved it
make more please, I have a 70 chevelle 2 door hard top coupe, if I lived there I would definitely cruise with you and I'm a huge fan of GTO's,my dad has a 70 Judge
That was fun thanks for sharing! Back in the 50s and 60s all those parking lots would be filled with hot rods, beautiful woman, and young guys. Yes they be looking at the rods rather than the woman !
Thanks for watching... I am not old enough to know the 50's and 60's...but I remember the 70's and 80's and the cruise nights with amazing hot rods, good looking girls, and food that would get brought to your car by a lady on roller skates...fun times.
@jerryhowell9 I was actually looking at a '69 convert z28 / RS camaro 350 with a 4speed, (I LOVE the 1969 headlight doors) when I stumbled upon this GTO and it was love at first site. Gen one Camaros were a dime a dozen in '87 when I got this GTO, and I really wanted something that was uncommon, so I bought the Pontiac... I should have bought both, they would be worth a fortune, Oh well, live and learn.
I don't like doing this on City Streets..too much liability. I have a private property lot that would be great to set up a couple cameras while I play around, just have to work out the logistics. Hopefully this Summer. Thanks for watching.
great healthy sounding engine! come on to alabama. a few buddies and I have a car club here with all the late 60s and early 70s muscle cars you can think of and would be glad to have you join us for a show and cruise
In my younger days, I would always look for car show to enter my hot rods into... I never won much of anything... the guys who took home trophies always trailered their cars in and still spend hours detailing every nut and bolt.

I really like the loooong body lines of cars in the 60's
I had 3 GTO's at a different points in my life, a '66, a '68, then a few yeara later I saw a '67 that I had to have. So I bought it and kept it a coule of years.
Thanks, My daughter is in her third year of French in school and she helped me.
One can really appreciate just how hideous the Toyota Prius is parked next to a beautiful old classic like this '66 GTO.
I can not disagree.
Boy, did you get that right!
We used to have stylized cars, stylized buildings and even stylized appliances. Now look at us. People are more interested in their coffee and their computer games.
I'm glad to see you use it like a real muscle car! I think it'd be a shame to see it as a trailer queen!
im thinkin the same thing
Pontiac boyz, we drive
66 is really my favourite year for the GTO and it looks stunning in black.
You know when ems starts hittin the wig-wags that’s a green light to light ‘em up all day long…. Love it.
I remember driving down a side street in my 69 gto and a lady yelled slow down and I was going 20mph in that neighborhood.
hahha... yep...they are speeding even at a stop sign.
I'm watching this in the dead of winter in Canada, my '62 Biscayne all tucked away in it's garage until the snow melts and the salt is washed off the roads- four months from now. Such a long wait to take it out and look for some friends to play with. Guess I'll have to watch videos like this in the meantime...so thanks for posting! LOVE your GTO.
Thanks for watching.. try to stay warm and hope for an early Spring!
High school early 70's lots of nice cars, driving fast, normal then! I'm glad I was there! Nice GTO
HI Robert, I definately was born in the wrong era... H.S. was the late '80's for me and most production cars of that era were lame.
yourbeekeeper Sucks even more to be in H.S right now all my gen has access to is honda civics maybe and old crown vic but for the most part not very many choices in terms of performance.
Nice car... I was home with my 20 month son and he was crying until we saw your drifts. He stopped imediately (!) as he heard the V8 drifting! Thanks man!
That's awesome!!!! Thanks for watching!
And i love the 66 GTO!!!
Wicked nice and all that jazz way too cool 😎 👌
Oh,Man!I Love that steering wheel! Love the whole car! I'm jealous! A REAL BEAUTY!
Thanks Curtis.
Gotta love the sound of a muscle car, I haven't owned a carbureted vehical in atleast 10 years or more.
I bought this car in 1987 and paid $400 for it. Been sitting in a garage for 12 years and full of cats when I dragged it into the sun light. Got it running with a new battery and can of gas... drove it to a gas station two blocks away on four flat tires...Put a fresh tank of gas and got all four to hold air long enough to drive home. I knew from that moment that I would never get rid of such a great machine.
you have no idea how badly I want a '66 in that color with that interior. You are a lucky man.
I always liked the cars that were not common. I had first gen Firebirds and Camaros, and I really love the look of the '69 RS Camaro with the headlight doors, but growing up, they were everywhere. I am also a fan of the '71 Duster, '59 Chevy trucks... oh the list goes on and on. I have had dozens of cars/trucks come an go in my life, but the GTO has staying power.

My first car was a 1966 GTO. What a great car. Had several GTO's since, but nothing like that '66!
If I lived there I'd have joined you with my 66 Galaxie. Old cars are amazing and what you have there is a definite eye-catcher.
Its been awhile so I had to watch it again 4 years later. It still sound as good as it did 4 years ago.lol
Yeah, I really need to get that car out into the sun...it's literally sitting three feet from me as I type this...patiently waiting.
You seem like the coolest dude to chill with. Sick freaking powerslide at 2:03.
+AsTheSeasonsGray Thank you. I love driving this car in every way but straight...lol.
@@yourbeekeeper it sounded like you did it in front of a cop. if that is the case then it seems as though I just saw the stone cold steve austin of the muscle car world lol

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the vid.. I have a more fun videos with this car. Thanks for watching.
I was 17, and got my first classic then. A 1955 Studebaker Speedster
2:03 - some straight up Gone in 60 Seconds shit. Love it, GTO for life!
GTOAviator Thanks for stoppin in... it sounds much better in person.
Nice sense of humor, beautifull driving and a magniffic goat

Love the Red interior with the Black exterior. Best color combo in the world! Nice 66 man.
Awesome video! I have a 1964 Ford Falcon with a V8 that I'm fixing up, it's not painted yet other than primer and there's a couple minor electrical issues that need fixing but it's getting towards being road legal.

***** Enjoy that Falcon... I really like the look of those cars!
Im getting one of this... after I graduate lol... congrats on that beauty, love pontiacs; love muscle cars !
Thanks Mike! I have always loved the Pontiac Power! Thanks for watching!
Learned many years AGO DON'T LEAVE THE IGNITION IN THE ON POSITION UNLESS YOUR RUNNING, that's if still got points lol. Nice GTO, driven hard like they should be driven. Wish I had my old 66 Pontiac Lemans still, just a 326 2 barrel but that engine was very surprising for what it was. Reminds me of the the good old days back in the early 1990's when I had it.
I love your video, love your car. Thanx so much for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
I had a '66 gold/gold in the early '70's. It had Pontiac's 2 speed Powerglide tranny. The only thing about it I didn't like. Full power and air(except seats and windows). I drove it as my every day car as a college kid. This was before the oil crunch, or embargo that would come a bit later. You could buy leaded premium gas for around 30 cents a gallon! I didn't "kiddo" it or beat it, just cruised around in it like a grandma! I ran it up to 120 mph once and don't know what it's top end would be b/c it only had 120 on the speedometer.

Oh yeah, I still have this machine... it waits patiently in the garage for it's next cruise. I bought this car in 1987.
i love your car man! GTOs are my favorite!
Sir, I just want to say for starters what a gorgeous car your 66 is. While watching your video, I thought those roads looked familiar!
I might have a friend for your goat. I have a 65 Post GTO being reborn here in Sonoma County. I would love to have the privileged to share pictures, stories and one day get a gathering of these beautiful cars!
I'm in the Santa Rosa area. My 65 Post Coupe is up on a home built rotisserie as of this moment, getting the best cancer treatment possible.
I live in California and all the newer paints are water based base/clear. I agree, they don't have the depth the older paints used to have. I used to love to paint the old lacquer... lay on the coats and cut/polish it to a mirror shine. The paint on my GTO is bullet proof... it has taken decades of use and still shines up nice...not showroom nice anymore, but an above average driver nice.
Dang, I really like the look of the Studebaker cars and trucks... classic.

Thank you Corey.
Thanks for the great comment. I will come out again here real soon. Thanks for watching.
Love me some old GM boats. I have a 68 impala ss and a 70 imp vert with a ls3 myself. Nice GTO
'66 and '67 are by far the best style of GTO's
I’ve always wanted one of those, because of the triple x movie
Hopefully they will... Thank you and thanks for watching.
Gotta love classic pontiacs
Rock n Roll Brother !!!
What a Ride !!!
Man you got knee deep in her !!!
Awesome video my Friend !!!
Looks like NorCal to me, San Francisco area. Sick car, love hardtop GTO's. My dad and I have a '67 convertible GTO.
That was awesome! I would love to drive that car...
Great '66 you have.. just watched your video. Thanks for watching.
Thank you, I live about an hour North of San Francisco, California.
Thank you... and Thank you!
Haha! Did that ambulance egg you on?? That burnout was awesome!!
+Bone Thang haha...yeah he did... I found out later that a friend of mine was the one burping the siren and they were just there having lunch.
Still has the original 389 block between the rails. It has had extensive work done to it and ran 429hp on the dyno. It goes pretty good.
@Nascarlee Hey Lee, I used to sacre the pants of my passengers when I would get the care completely sideways and still be able to keep 'er between the lines. I love the long wheel base and power steering to finesse the car down the road. Thanks for watching.
beautiful car, I love vintage american iron, especially the 66-7 gto and first gen firebirds. I drive a 68 bird with a 461 stroker every single day.
THanks for stoppin in! I had a '67 firebird convert about 20-plus years ago... what a fun car.
Thank you, it's been a good friend since 1987...

@Searsnut11 Thanks buddy.... I have had a long love affair with this body style. Bought this car when I was 19. Had several dozen cars in my life, and this one has survived all my hotrod phases.
You don't need friends bro,you already got real friend badass GTO 66
If you had done that same route in 1968 or so, you would have had a few challengers to race. I know because I'm 72 and had a 65 GTO back then. I didn't lose many street races.
Thanks for the ride
I swapped the powerglide for a t-350 built by a local shop that specializes in serious HP. It's very solid.
Nice car and I dig your video. I've got a '69 GTO that I just had the 400 motor rebuilt with a RAIV cam, Edelbrock Performer intake and stock RA headers. Looking forward to breaking her in and turning some heads. I like your sense of humor.
Your '69 should be a good runner... Hope you get some good times behind the wheel.. Thanks for watching!
okay you can make fun of me if you want, but im 18 years old and have a fascination for old muscle cars such as yours. I have to say the Pontiac GTO is my favorite of all cars possible, and hopefully i can acquire a beautiful cars like yours one day. thank you for the video i loved it
that is a beautiful car. sounds great.
make more please, I have a 70 chevelle 2 door hard top coupe, if I lived there I would definitely cruise with you and I'm a huge fan of GTO's,my dad has a 70 Judge
If it makes you feel better, I'm 16 and the flame burns in me, so to speak. Badass driving. Doing it so I don't have to!

It's a TH350 with a manual valve body, so I need to shift it through the gears. It was built by a local race shop and has not let me down in 20 years.
I had a 67 gto. Loved it, but nothing like the sound of a tri- power gto.
You are very welcome.Thanks for watching.
That was fun thanks for sharing! Back in the 50s and 60s all those parking lots would be filled with hot rods, beautiful woman, and young guys. Yes they be looking at the rods rather than the woman !
Thanks for watching... I am not old enough to know the 50's and 60's...but I remember the 70's and 80's and the cruise nights with amazing hot rods, good looking girls, and food that would get brought to your car by a lady on roller skates...fun times.
beautiful car man! i can only hope the 69 im working on could someday hold a torch to yours!
Nice car. I have a 65 GTO
Thanks Jake.
@jerryhowell9 I was actually looking at a '69 convert z28 / RS camaro 350 with a 4speed, (I LOVE the 1969 headlight doors) when I stumbled upon this GTO and it was love at first site. Gen one Camaros were a dime a dozen in '87 when I got this GTO, and I really wanted something that was uncommon, so I bought the Pontiac... I should have bought both, they would be worth a fortune, Oh well, live and learn.
yet another awesome video man and those slides were crazy cool
I don't like doing this on City Streets..too much liability. I have a private property lot that would be great to set up a couple cameras while I play around, just have to work out the logistics. Hopefully this Summer. Thanks for watching.
It's the original 389, bored 60 over and a lot of other mods. Maybe this year someone will be up for a playdate. Thanks for watching.
@brothers0fwar Quarter panels that go on for miles. Love the old Mopars. Thanks for watching.
I love the sound of that engine... no silly hybrid or turbo 4-cylinder under that hood for sure !
It's music to my ears. Thank you.
@Graveltrucking I could listen to that engine all day.
Sporty little cars. Thanks for watching.
sooooooooooooo beautiful!
great healthy sounding engine! come on to alabama. a few buddies and I have a car club here with all the late 60s and early 70s muscle cars you can think of and would be glad to have you join us for a show and cruise
I am sure there are some online sites to buy these old cars, but eBay is probably the most widely used. Thanks for watching.
