Featured Build | 1967 Pontiac GTO
Todd Eymer’s ’67 GTO is an example of a car that was kept in the family in fact, Todd’s first ride in it was when his parents brought him home from the hospital after his birth. His parents bought the GTO as a South Dakota trade in about 1974 for $500. It was originally light blue, but someone thoughtfully painted it black before Eymer’s parents found it. It was the daily driver for about a decade and as Todd got older, he would sit in the passenger seat and work the shifter for his mom or dad. Todd also has memories of his mom taking him and his brother and sister to school in it.
