I returned home from college in Texas to find one of my good friend’s younger brother had just purchased a brand new 1967 GTO convertible. Robert, who was working and also attending culinary school loved that car and would crash and total it less than a year later. Robert was not seriously hurt, except in the checkbook. He did go on to have a great career in Restaurant Consulting, but I bet he still remembers buying this car more than most other things in life.
I got this picture in Saucoilito a few weeks ago at a local marina parking lot. I met the owner who told me he purchased the car from a guy in Chicago in the late 1980s. He had the car trucked back to California and has loved the car ever since.
This car, also known as “The Great One” had a 400 cubic inch V8 and many other spoty options. It is one of the 60s most famous cars.

The Goat! If I remember correctly, Marty had a green one, although I don’t remember the year. It was a beast!
