Beauty Is a Beast
June 12, 2014 · 0 Comments
From the time he was a boy, now local business owner of The Market, Doug Hansford has wanted a 1967 GTO. When Hansford married, the 1967 GTO, borrowed from a friend was THE wedding car. For the past 11 months, Hansford’s long awaited dream came true and he is now the proud owner of his very own GTO which he purchased in ST. Thomas Ontario. Hansford explains bursting with pride, “This car is actually what they call a clone. It’s been completely modified from a Pontiac LeMans. The bumpers, the lights, the logo, everything, just perfect! It really is a GTO now.” This beast is a beauty and is commanding immediate admiration and respect upon sight. Completely finished, upgraded interior , and a sparkling exterior, this ride is exactly what a little boy would dream of driving. Ironically, now that he is ‘all grown up,” it’s this spectacular feat of engineering and design that will keep Hansford young! Worth noting for those of us who have heard GTO for so long, we forget what is stands for, GTO stands for ‘Gran Turismo Omologato’, Italian for ‘Grand Accredited Touring.’
