...For those who went to the Vietnam War battle front, 1966 was a disasterous year. If your family made less than six figures, it was still a challenge to make ends meet in 1966. Just say'n. The early 70's were even worse, economically. None of us lived through the Great Depression and, after it, the autrocities of WWII. Many of our parents recouped rather well in spite of the Fed's and socialists' "Great Society" failures. JFK was a real threat to the globalist cabal because he was a true nationalist, a disabled veteran, and a Constitutional POTUS. That's why they [the domestic implant globalists] eliminated JFK IN 1963 and also his younger brother, Robert, in 1968; they could not be bought or controlled by blackmail like their selected political replacements.
The Pontiac GTO was in its fourth year of production and still very popular with "Red Line" tires and wide "Rally Wheels". You could buy it with a 389 or 400 c.i. engine and 4-speed transmission and "Tri-Power" (three two-barrel Rochester 2G carburetors.) It was no longer a LeMans option package, but its own model as a popular "muscle car" in 1966. A pristine classic car example today would cost you around $80K. More 1966 coupes were produced than convertables from mid-1965 through 1966. The car below is my favorite color combo. my roommate in 1966 had a coupe that color with black interior. He traded it in the next year for a Plymouth Road Runner coupe. I also owned a 1962 Grand Prix and a 1970 Pontiac LeMans Sport in the past equipped with a 389 V8 in each of them, but never a true "Goat". My son was a avid Pontiac fan also.
