Just 187 1967 Pontiac 2+2 HOs were built from the factory, and man is this thing a real unicorn. With the 428 under the hood, and a factory 4-speed, it was a fun car to drive, but it’s a whole other thing now thanks to the 6-speed underneath it. Jay talks about not only the swap, but the car itself, and how this really does transform this big beast. This is a cruiser muscle car, the gentleman’s hot rod if you will, and it shows. Check this thing out and let us know what you think, because we dig it.
