| The GTOAA’s Golden Quill Award-winning monthly magazine kick-starts the new year with Kerry Priddy’s 700(!) HP 1967 Pro Touring GTO. This stunning frame-off restoration and modification began as two GTOs in very bad condition purchased in 1998 for a mere $1,200. Ten years later, the result was a custom-painted (candy apple red) street machine with a bored-out 455, beefed-up TH400, American Racing wheels, hand-made wood dash and console inserts, 100-watt sound system, nitrous, and a whole lot of other goodies.
Also in this issue: Convention Corner (and the GTOAA National Meet in Colorado is coming up fast); New-Gen GTO Body Control Module Harness Fix (a very useful, “fix it before it breaks” tech piece); “Winter Storage—What & Why” (yet another VERY useful article); “Now & Then”; “Goat Radar: GTOs in Movies and TV”; New Products from Ames Performance; and “Little GTOs” with Tim Sickle.
All this plus a whole lot more in the January 2012 edition of The Legend, the only national magazine devoted exclusively to Pontiac’s Great One! A subscription is included with a GTOAA membership. If you’re not a member, sign up now! Just click on the Join and Renew link above. |

| Merry Christmas from the GTOAA! What could be more fitting on the cover of the December 2011 Legend than a red GTO with a white vinyl top in a snowscape with pine trees? The red rocket sled is “Da Goat,” Scott Anderson’s 1971 GTO, which he’s owned since 1980 (and in which dated his wife Alice). With Alice’s encouragement, Da Goat underwent a frame-off restoration “with time, money, and a whole lot of love,” along with an upgrade to a 455 and other goodies.
Also in this issue: Quarter Mile With The Judge, “How Much Is That Tiger In The Garage?” Part Three of Three with Frank Fregiato; “Bench Seats In ’64 GTOs? Never Say Never” with Jeff Lovich; Pontiac Pickers with Mike Wehring and Bob Vidan; 22nd Annual Pontiac Uprising in Wichita, with Cap and Robin Proffitt; and Little GTOs with Tim Sickle.
All this and more in the December 2011 issue of The Legend, the GTOAA’s award-winning monthly magazine. |

| From “Rust Bucket” to “First Class Goat”: Bill Cocozza’s Verdoro Green 1968 GTO four-speed hardtop, our cover car, took up well over a year for a frame-off restoration, as well as an upgrade. Bill has owned his GTO for 17 years, and she’s a fitting replacement for his first car, a 1968 Goat he purchased new upon his discharge from the U.S. Navy, but sold only a year later.
Also in this issue: Convention Corner (the 2012 Nationals in Loveland, Colorado, are coming up fast); Quarter Mile With The Judge, Frank Fregiato, on GTO values; 1964 Date Codes with GTOAA Teach Advisor Craig Gibney; “How Much Horsepower?” with Randy Pribyl, on dyno testing; and Tim Sickle’s Little GTOs.
All this and more in the November 2011 edition of The Legend, the only national automotive publication devoted to Pontiac’s Great One! |

| The October 2011 edition of the GTOAA’s monthly magazine is a very special one! It’s the Jim Wangers 85th Birthday Edition, and it also celebrates the grand opening of the Pontiac-Oakland Museum And Resource Center in—where else?—Pontiac, Illinois. Jim Wangers, “The Godfather” of the GTO, celebrated his birthday in grand fashion with a bash at his home in Southern California. The POMARC is a treasure trove of Pontiac information and history, well worth a visit.
Also is this issue: “How Much Is That Tiger In The Garage?" part one of three of a series by Judge Frank Fregiato (Quarter-Mile With The Judge) on determining a GTO’s real value; and “Portland Convention Trips and Tours,” highlights from the 2011 GTOAA Nationals.
All this and more in the October 2011 edition of The Legend, the only national car magazine devoted to Pontiac’s “Great One!” |
