1964 NHRA B stock Pontiac GTO

[MarkJ]

Just finished this one. It was driven by teenager Roy Gay back in 1964. He Raced it against his more well known  brother , also a teenager, named Don Gay . He drove a 62 A stock Catalina 2 door sedan. He actually won the 1963 NHRA national championship driving it. I built Don's car back in 2018.

Nice job Mark! Love these vintage drag cars!

[Marty W]

That's a classic! Love old school racers like this. The gold wheels really set off the blue metallic paint as well.

Great work, Mark.

What blue color did you use ?

[Brian Conn]

...A couple of great builds.  B.t.w whats do the numbers on the door (655,657) denote?   Seen numbers before on drag cars , but could never figure them out.

What blue color did you use ?

Hondo, The GTO is duplicolor honda avignon blue metallic rattle can. It was the closest thing I could find to the real color which was  Yorktown Blue poly. Don's car is something I got from model car world. I figured out what color his car was and ordered it from them . it was acrylic enamel in a bottle  that I had to shoot with my airbrush. I cant remember the name of the factory color. Here is Yorktown Blue on a real car. I didnt feel like ordering paint from mcw and using my airbrush on the GTO build.

Brian, I dont know anything about nhra numbering. I would guess that they issued the numbers to the team when they registered the cars for competition. But thats just a guess.  Maybe they wanted those numbers for some unknown reason? Thanks for the reply.

[MarkJ]

Dons car color was known as Ensign Blue Poly. It appears that the wagon was probably that color too.

A lot of good detail work in these. Very well done.
