He shakes his head a bit at the thought now, but Keith Weyers almost passed up his chance to own his fabulous 1964 Pontiac GTO. The resident of rural Navarino, Wis., had a first-year "Goat" at the top of his bucket list for years, but the timing and circumstances never seemed to work out, and '64 GTOs don't exactly fall out of trees. "I had a 1964 Catalina when I was 21 and I liked it, but then I saw the GTO," recalls Weyers. "I thought the front end looked a lot like the Catalina… The Catalina was a two-door sedan. I put the Tri-Power on it and tried to make a GTO out of it, but it was just a bigger, heavier car." "I sold it, the frame was rusted ahead of the back wheels, and then I bought a '65 GTO. I did a redneck paint job on it because, you know, you don't have any money when you are 21 years old. I had it a couple years, then we started having kids, and it's hard hauling kids around in a two-door, so I sold it to my brother-in-law. I always wanted [a '64] but as time went by they were getting a lot harder to find and getting more expensive."
