Roger's '65 GTO Race Car

My '65 GTO Race Car

This Hot Rod was some wild ride. It was always a race car until I sold it. I don't know where it is now. Those ladder bars would be a dead give away. I had a 350 small block with a turbo 400 and a 488 spool. The wheels are Rocket wheels and in those days to drive it on the street you had to smog it. You can see what it looked like after I sold it the second time.

I had a '65 hardtop LEMANS, a '65 sedan Lemans, 2 convertible '64 LEMANS', one of which I made into a '65. I think this is the best size of car, and the interchangability is amazing.

What a cool car! Maybe the current owner will post it on this website. How fast did that car go, anyway? I'll bet it smoked the competition.

I never raced it, it was one wild ride though. When I bought the 65 GTO, they were common and it didn't have an engine or trans. As soon as I installed an engine I sold it to a mechanic, then he got it running. He couldn't pay for it and I took it back. Then a guy came up right after this PIC was taken, gave me an offered. He also didn't finish paying, (bad check) I couldn't get in touch with him again. Then I saw it at this impound yard quite a while later. Not very exciting I know. I had at the same time 2 64 LeMans convertibles and another 65 LeMans hardtop. I think I had about 10 other cars, you could get cool cars for $100 at the time. I didn't have any more room and at the time they were everywhere.
