In 2003, the Regimental Red road rocket was completed and ready to hit the streets and the show circuit. Thus far, it has racked up numerous First- and Second-Place trophies at various events, including a First at HPP Day at E-town in 2005 where we first spotted the Goat and met Joe. In August 2004, the Ram Air GTO earned Concours Gold at the GTOAA Eastern Regional Meet. But show trophies are only part of the fun. Joe has found that driving the GTO, like his '70 Ram Air III Judge and new V-8 303hp GP GXP, makes great memories as well.
He expects to put 750-1,000 miles per year on the Goat in the future and to keep winning at the shows. Joe travels with a pack of Staten Island buddies, all of whom are into Pontiacs, owning 20 between them. No further improvements to the GTO are planned since he "likes it just as it is," which gives Joe something in common with a previous owner named Bea who thought the same for 25 years.
