GTO in Gilmore Museum

[Keith Seymore]

Some of you might be familiar with my '65 GTO, which I inherited from my dad upon his passing.

I received a note that stated the Gilmore Museum (the "Red Barns") in Hickory Corners Michigan was looking for a GTO for their musclecar display til next April.

I thought "hey - free secure, heated storage through next winter". (lol)

So I dropped the car off yesterday afternoon. My wife and I looked around while they got the car situated in the display - front and center.

That's nice !!! No way in hell I could go into that place. I'd be walking around with a boner, not to mention probably both **** and piss my pants multiple times and cry like a 4 year old when they told me I had to go.

 

[HotRodPC]

I'd be that bad kid too when the sign say don't touch. I'd be getting in the cars putting the seat belt on and making vrooom vrooom noises, especially in the 4 speeds. I'd be speed shiftin gears and all kinda ****.

That's an excellent museum. I was there several years ago for a motorcycle but toured the museum too. Kudos to your dad for having such a fine car.

Reading the article you wrote and mentioning Tri-City Dragway brought back a lot of memories. I used to go there when I was young and saw a lot of the big names of the time. I remember watching the planes come in for a landing or taking off. The track is still there but appears to be in a state of disrepair.

Very cool! I was just there last summer for the first time! They have a lot of cars!

My second car I owned was a 67 GTO Ram Air 1 car which I got in 1970. Learned to drive a 4 speed in that car. Had to sell during the oil embargo years when gas doubled and then some. That was a mistake.

I really liked the 65’s too, a very clean design. I hope you get plenty of opportunities to enjoy driving the car.

Thats a killer way to honor your father!!! Great car with great memories being shown to the public. Love it!

That is seriously cool! Someday when I'm retired, which means I will have hit the lottery , I'll have that museum on my bucket list.

I had a 67, unfortunately I had to sell it when I lost my job. working on picking up a 66, original tri power and 4 speed.
