64 GTO Late Model Sportsman

Recommended Posts

Coming from my imagination, this 64 GTO started as a Polar lights kit and I utilized most of the kit parts, including the chassis. Built from the ground up with cage, front clip hoop four shocks up front and long truck arms pirated from a NASCAR kit. Designed to see action in the old Permatex, nee busch, neeXfinity series. Paint is Polar Lights red and Tamiya gunmetal. Tires and rims are PPP, decals are Slixx, Gofer, and Microscale. Hope you like it!

Good looking car! When I was a kid living in Las Vegas, my dad was involved with the construction of a hobby stock to run at Craig Road Speedway with his Air Force buddies. It was a beautiful red 64 LeMans with "chrome" numbers (aluminum speed tape). Never made it to the first race. One of the "experienced" drivers was practicing laps when another car blew an engine and he crammed it into the wall. Totaled before it ever had a chance. The other thing that I remember about the car was it had their Air Force squadron patch painted on the trunk lid. The 430th TFS, Tiger on a beach ball.
