2010 GTOAA International Meet- Get Your Goat On

Led in this row by an '05 Yellow Jacket GTO, a total of 19 "new age" GTOs attended this year's GTOAA International Meet.

If you read the plaque on this Mayfair Maize '65 GTO convertible, you'll see that it features 496 cubes of Pure Pontiac power and fuel injection. So what are the Tri-Power carbs doing in the picture? According to owner Ben Stegman of Wichita, Kansas, "I built the fuel-injection system to be as inconspicuous as possible, and kept the Tri-Powers installed to make it look like the GTO was still running carbs."

Sunday's popular-vote show field treated GTOAA members and the public to over 160 GTOs (and other Pontiacs too), all in the pleasant, climate-controlled, 72-degree convention center area.

Cap and Robin Proffitt, Wichita chapter volunteers of the event, show off their Pedders Suspension Autocross Award for Best Vintage Pontiac.

Take the LS2-powered '06 GTO and tactfully mount it under a heavily modified '64 LeMans convertible body and you'll have the "6406 GTO" owned by Steve Disch of Lakewood, Colorado, which took Popular Vote-Best of Show.

This Concours stock-restored '69 GTO Judge in the rare color of Limelight Green won Best Restored. It features a Ram Air III engine, a Muncie M21 four-speed, and 3.90 gears, and is owned by Tim Burton of Lakewood, Colorado.

Robert DeLorenzo's Capri Gold '65 hardtop won Concours-Best Factory Original and Concours-Silver. It has 77,000 miles and features a 389/360hp Tri-Power engine, a Muncie M20 four-speed, and 3.55 rear gears. Originally sold in Portand, Oregon, it now resides with Robert in Fort Worth, Texas.

Last year, Tom and Peggy Sieffert of Troy, Michigan, brought her custom '67 GTO hardtop to the GTOAA International Meet. This year, they're back with his matching '67 convertible, which won Concours-Best Modified.

This '70 GTO features a code-611 vacuum-operated exhaust system to make the Tiger's growl go from mild to wild. Very few GTOs received the option before General Motors management cancelled it.

Concours-Best of Show went to Terry Weiner of Buffalo Grove, Illinois, for his correctly restored '67 Signet Gold GTO hardtop.

A painting of Wichita Indian Chief Wee-Ta-Ra-Sha-Ro, made in 1834 by artist George Catlin, served as the reference for artisan and sculptor Patricia Hines to create the '10 GTOAA International Meet official award. Over 100 castings based on the original one-of-a-kind sculpture, shown here, were awarded to winning car-show participants.
