This is Jim and Cindy Hamm's 67 GTO clone that they purchased in 2001. The exterior color (not original) is bright red with black & charcoal gray interior. It's powered by a 1971 400 engine with 1968 #16 heads, a mild cam, a performer intake w/1" spacer and a 650 race demon DP carb. Exhaust gases runs through Hooker Super Comp headers and muffled by Flowmasters. The trans is a TH400 with a B & M shift kit & trans cooler. The wheels are American Racing with B.F. Goodrich T/A radials.
Since the purchase the Hamms pulled the engine and trans to detail them. They replaced gaskets as needed and detailed the engine bay. A new windshield was in place at the time of purchase and they replaced the rear window. In addition, the car received a 3.23 posi unit, new interior that included a new dash harness with ralley gauges.
Future plans are to upgrade the suspension and equip the car with disc brakes all the way around (and hopefully a gear vendors overdrive).
Usage: This is a summer weekend driver. The Hamms take a trip or two to their hometown in Illinois. It's been driven to Byron Dragstrip but not raced. If gas prices come down this summer (2005) they plan on taking a road trip to visit their eldest child.
Owners: Jim & Cindy Hamm
