One of my all time favorite movies. The GTO was Orbit Orange. 😎🤘

There was no such thing as a 455 Ram Air IV.. Those were always 400 only. Same with the previous Ram Air III engines. 😉

Haven't seen the movie in 10 years, but the "GTO" guy said it,and I was quoting him. He was full of Sugar Honey Iced Tea. Didn't believe him anyhow.
I am more into Firebird, Trans Am myself. Got a 400 actually myself.

I’ve likely seen the flick 300+ times, and G.T.O. is supposed to be a loudmouthed idiot obviously-so nailed it.. Only around 17 Judge’s made it out of the plant with a 455 for the 1970 line up, but as I said-the Ram-Air designation was only for 400’s. 455’s got nothing, H.O., or the ULTRA RARE S.D. (Super Duty).. I’ve had several Ram-Air III’s, and a Ram-Air IV 400, a few plain Jane 455’s, and a pair of H.O.’s. Never a Super Duty. I’ll likely never see one either, as rare as they are..
 
I always liked the 1st year second gen noses. Camaro and TA. Split bumpers and a guy with a blue and white 455 in it locally for me to drool over at car shows. One of my favs.
I'm not a rubber bumper fan butyl my bud in vegas has an annivarsary indy turbo 301 with under 30k miles on it last I saw it. He still has it. 😍
It drove like a brand new car. It was a lot of fun to drive even though a far cry from todays turbo performance cars.
I learned how to drive very young. I wasn't romping on it... 🤣 I learned how to drive in a 70 442 455 convertible. Blue, white white auto, ac, poer everythimg. My next door neighbor bought the car from my dad and I drooled over it for over a decade. 😍
Being in the salvage industry, we had a LOT of nice cars! 😁 I knew lots of other ppl with nice cars too.
Worked with some New England Dragway legends tho was not old enough to absorb their knowledge really. Dragsters were above my paygrade though I loved them SO MUCH!

Muscle cars from the 60's 70's, even some imports... just a super time to be into cars! My favs for sure!
 
My Dad beat a 455 at the track. The 455 'Bird took off, then looked for my Dad in his rear view, only to see him in front, on 2 wheels! The 'bird broke his motor trying to catch up. Dad took the trophy. My Dad drove the other guy home, 'bout 20 miles away. My dad is a real sweetheart.

I still have my 1st, 3rd, and 4th cars. My 3rd car, 1998, still runs, drives, looks new. Bone stock LS1 V8, 307 horses, auto, t-top. Red. Anyone tries to touch it, and I always say the same thing. "Nope This is my only daughter, and I don't trust you"

My 70 coronet is in storage. Needs resto now but was also my first car. Someday project right now. 😉
 
Believe me, I know what goes into restoring a New England car.
Put new floors, frame rails, trunk floor, and tail panel in mine. Call the right rear frame rail "Georgia' on account it come out of georgia. The left one named "Tennessee"
 
Its far from perfect but my first and so will always love. Its a ragtop so the repairs ate that much trickier. Mopars are subframe car too... so much fun to think about. I am not a body guy. I would not attempt the body alone.
The rest is home to me. Familiar and cozy and I get it all.
I swapped 318' by myself at 13 years old. Drove it in, drove it out a few hours later. Its a great old classic but not a race car for sure. 😉
I have a 904 and 340 to drop in it I want to spice it up. 👍
I have so much stuff going on... Its easier to dream right now than face the reality of the project I guess. 🤣
 
I actually mafe good heafway on our green house this spring and usimg it now. I have another house project that needs dealing with before fall.
Car stuff will always be coming up so I just deal, fix, move on... 😎
I'll be happy if the GH and other repairs go well.
I have some work to wrap on our Infinity and a whole bag of tricks for an old V8 envoy. 84 deville when I get bored... all projects.
Honestly, a 5.3 4x4 with Trailblazer SS running gear under that Caddy might be the fastest way thru this. 🤔 Might be the fastest 84 Deville around too! 😎🤣
This house will never ever ever ever be done.
Another project. 🙄

Have I mentioned my Kyosho addiction yet? 🤣

Tried to find it via my Amazon fire stick, could only find it as a pay per view.
