Here are some pics of my dad just restored 65 gto con. It took 4 years to restore. The pics are after a VM HG and VM CMW treatment.
 
What's it got under the hood. If I'm not mistake, I think the hot engine was the 383.

Nice looking car, and it's a convertible. Definitely a keeper.
 
Sounds like a nice setup. I had a 67 Camaro with a 350, 3.90 gears and a M21 4 speed. The car could smoke the tires down the 1/4 mile. Your dad's car is sweeter, but I really miss that car.
 
Beautiful car. My first car was a 66 GTO. Bought it for $300. More car than a 15 year old should have. I loved this car even if it was broken more then it ran. What great memories.
 
What a great lookin' car! :bigups

Do you or your father have any before pics, or when he was just starting his restore project?
 
4 years... thats a really long time. it took my dad about half a year to restore his el camino. thats some really sweet paint thats on there. nice nice nice
 
He does have pics from along the way but none that were taken with a digital cam. I have to scan then in on of these days.
 
Beautiful car. Hope my final detailing comes out that good on my 69 GTO Judge. Just about done with it. I still have to apply the wax and then take the pictures. :o)

What products did you or your dad use for detailing your GTO?
 
I had a 67 Goat with a 400 with the slap stick tranmission. NOw a real fast car off the line but at 50 you could bark the tires. I miss that car!

Nice work on the car lots of good summer crusing
 
What happened to the original engine? Was it the 389 or the 421? We have a 67 Grand Prix convertible with the factory 400 and four speed. Dad bought it new in Nov of 66 and has had it ever since. We are currently restoring that one too.
