and optional with Turbo Hydra-Matic. The 4-speed linkage is firm, has a close gate, and appeared strong enough to survive manipulation by Paul Bunyan. The 4-speed car ran consistently in the 13.10 to 13.20-second area with speeds usually around 106 mph. This car re- corded one of the fastest 0-60 mph times we’ve ever seen – 4.9 seconds – but with the M&H tires on the back, it’s really not a fair comparison with our other road tests. After a dozen or more runs, we had trouble with both cars plain quitting toward the end of the quarter. We fi- nally traced this to low fuel tanks, with the cure being simply to run with over a quarter-tank of gas at all times. This test of the ’67 GTO was one of the most comp- rehensive we’ve ever done. We had the opportunity to drive several different varieties, and in many different conditions. We ran quite a few mileage checks and averaged 13.5 mpg on the open highway with a 3.90: 1 rear axle ratio, and 11.5 around town. The fit and finish on all the cars was the best we’ve scen on any Pontiac GTO, and we’d rate the driveability as excellent for enthusiasts as well as commuters. They’re housebroken Tigers, but they can revert to the jungle whenever you give the word. /MT
