Yeah well. Some of us are just nitpicky by nature.

And that's a good thing. Us older folks need some younger dudes to keep us on target.

People think i am actually an "Old Goat". But Old Goat really refers to an old 1968 GTO that i used to have.

 

[Tallman]

Sure it is.
I had a 1964. 400 CU.IN six pack and a four speed.

Ok Ok I'm not Walter White (Heisenberg).. Just thought it was a bad ass avatar..

Since you mentioned Walter I had to make sure Badfinger’s Baby Blue was in my favorite playlist. It was such a memorable ending to a great show, but I digress.

My sister had a '71 GTO 400 with a 3-speed Hurst.
I won a lot of street races with it when she thought my buddies and I went to the movies in it.

My 1967 NHRA Firebird would have had your tongue hanging out and drooling. 428 CU.IN. the huge three barrel carb. It would pull wheelies coming off of the line.

Badfinger and fast cars.
Those were the days.

Where'd they go?

Into the past my friend.

Into the past my friend.

Think I'll go drag out my Bringing It All Back Home LP.
Oh, wait. Nothing to play it on.

It's not dark yet, but it's gettin' there.
(I believe Bob said that.)

Tall , enlighten me ? 428 ? Motor options in 67 were 326 , 400 . 350 & 455 not available . Are we talking bored out or did you put a Ford 428 in it ? You got me curious . Life NHRA member here .

Bored and stroked 400 cu.in. You missed the 389 cu.in which I think was the standard.
The stroke limited the RPM to 5800 rpm maximum. Any faster and they almost guaranteed catastrophic engine failure. The engine was bored out so far the was no repair margin left.

 

[357magnum]

If I'm correct 389 was available until 1966 , but I'm getting old & forgetful .But there was a early produced GTO w/ 389 option so nothing is set in stone . Just not sure if it was & option in a Bird . 389 was Pontiac's " Go To " motor for the big cars starting in the mid 50's " I think " .

My 68 goat was a 389 tri power. Had the vertigate shifter. Also no hideaways. Now, im not positive that was original motor or not.
