Pete & Rich,
Thanks! It's had it all. The suspension is all tubular with stiffer progressive rate springs, 1 3/8" sways front & back, poly bushings, KYBs, close ratio steering box & Auburn posi rear end. The '64s drove like crap new but this one actually drives like a modern car now & corners pretty well with the 17" radials instead of the stock 14" bias plies![EEK!](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/eek.gif)
It was a labor of love. I have always been partial to the first year GTOs.
I agree on the new GTO. It's a blob that performs but it will get better.

I have been in love with 911's since I was a child (when the attached car was new), but the younger generation in our neighborhood seem to react more to this car when I drive it than my 993 (sign of the times???)...They are two different beasts and can't be compared.
