| Juiced-up GTOs – as in orange juice — fill the pages of this month's issue of The Legend,, starting with Steve Disch's wild Super Mod cover car. Known by several names – “64-06” and “Frankengoat” among them – Steve's hand-built creation is a complete 2006 GTO rebodied with a 1964 convertible skin. With mostly minor modifications (and one major one, relocated front wheel openings to accommodate the ’06’s 109.8-inch wheelbase), Steve’s bright orange creation combines the power, comfort, handling and reliability of the ’06 GTO with the classic lines of the original ’64 GTO. See it in the magazine, and at the 2010 Nationals. It redefines Resto Mod!
The orange theme continues with “Orange Peel Out,” 757GOAT chapter member Steve Cauffiel’s Carousel Red ’05 Super Mod. Steve says his twin-turbo, 500-plus-hp GTO is “worthy of The Judge namesake.”
Speaking of The Judge, the legend lives on in the Jim Wangers Signature Edition GTO, a Carousel Red (a.k.a screaming orange) creation from Big 3 Performance. It's a new car utilizing 1969 GTO sheet metal, a Corvette C6 front suspension and a 505 cubic inch, 680-hp Butler Performance Pontiac mill, among other goodies.
Also in this issue: A Convention Corner 2010 feature on this year's GTOAA Nationals, Little GTOs, and an article on 1968 walnut shift knobs.
All this and more in the January 2010 issue of The Legend, the GTOAA's award-winning monthly magazine, available exclusively to GTOAA members. |
