I saw a lovely old Goat by the side of the road, in the middle of town too!

In this case it was a Pontiac GTO, nickname Goat. This is a 1971 or 1972 third generation car in very nice condition. 









and some more distractions presented themselves, just a few miles away.



The Charger looks almost abandoned, but it has current tags. The front tires are tiny and the rears are "racing slicks". Looks like the owner got half-way through a fender project ...

With classic Kraggar wheels! Was it designed by De Tomasso? Thanks for sharing such a beast! René

I think it was designed by De . . .

Tastfully restored GTO, Mike. I think it's a '72. Wonder . . .

. . . if it's a matching numbers build. Not many built; don't recall seeing many when they were new. Art

Only 5800

Low by GM standards; surely about a decade’s production for Lotus!

A good overview here

Hemmings Motor News Jim Wangers got it to production with some support from John DeLorean who took all the credit. I met Jim a couple times; he was always sore about DeLorean hogging the spotlight. Mike

Love the GTO ...
