    Spare transmission was three hours away. Didn't know what the problem was until I took it back to the builder. He tore it down and saw no damage to anything. Blamed it on the cheap remaned converter. It came with the transmission.

      Thanks for the suggestions everyone, it's fixed. Turns out it was a bad coil, so I probably have a spare good Pertronix. I'll be ordering another coil just for insurance. I did manage to break the inlet for the heater core and for some strange reason, no one has a heater core for a 65 GTO in stock. A little piece of copper tubing and the heater core is bypassed until I can get a new one.

        That's why I had to replace the heater in my el camino. A lot of parts have to be ordered these days even common ones for popular cars. PITA

            And once the GTO was fixed we went to an event with the Oldsmobile Club in Downtown Lansing and won Best of Class with the GTO! Cutlass won 2nd in class. Was a good day. GTO was parked in a line of Oldsmobile's

                  So, from the FB chatter, it appears that you guys are selling off everything else and consolidating down to the Goat only?

                    Nah, the only thing that is potentially going away is the Model A. We still have the Cutlass, Lightning, Solstice and the F150 4x4. We're looking for another car for Donna since the Buick went away.

                      Ahhh, thought I saw something on FB where Donna said the Cutlass was for sale. Maybe a joke.

                        Watch Junkyard Digs on youtube. A series of videos on a gold Cutlass. Turned out nice for what it was. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...H6ommtSv1cFUEb

                          I think that was a memory that popped up from when she was selling the red one.
