Dan Staehle had plenty of reasons for grabbing his beautiful 1966 Pontiac GTO hardtop almost as soon as he saw it. It’s a stunning car in almost every way. It had been very nicely restored, wears a gorgeous red with a black interior color combination, and, well, almost everybody likes a classic GTO.

But the best reason of all? His old man had one.

It took him about 37 years to do it, but Staehle found just the right “Goat” to adopt. He says it helped erase some bad memories of seeing his father’s car leave the family.

That instrument cluster, though….

The wood grain needs to stop just under the gauges,. The radio and the knobs on the driver side need to be surrounded by black.
 
the back end seems entirely too long and out of proportion.
it's another one of those 'perspective' photos. don't know why everyone HAS to do that. makes the car look longer than it is, front or rear. although that era GTO did have a good sized trunk. from the side it doesn't look that out of proportion.
