Hi everyone. My name is Bob Hoggatt, and I live in Murfreesboro, TN. Born & raised in California, moved here in 2013. My wife and I retired in December of 2018.
My first car was a nocturne blue, parchment interior 1965 GTO. Had a lot of fun in that car! Sold it in 1973 to buy my first new car, a 1974 Chevy Vega. I know, I know, but that car was fun to drive.
I currently have a 1965 GTO, red/red car that has been a forever project. Had it off the frame a couple of times. Frame has been powder coated, all new suspension components. Had a 12 bolt posi built for it, but when I tried to do a disc brake conversion on it, one of the axle tubes was 1/4" shorter than the other, but the axles were the same length so the caliper mounting brackets and rotors wouldn't line up. Gave up on it and ordered a 9 inch from Currie with the disc brakes already on it. The engine is a 1972 455 HO from a '72 Trans Am. Custom built with JE pistons, solid roller cam, roller rockers and some massaging done on the 7F6 heads. Added an Edelbrock dual quad manifold and a couple of Edlebrock carbs.
I also have a 1962 Grand Prix. Black with a red interior, power steering, automatic transmission, power brakes, air conditioning, power windows, 8 lug wheels, and a 1963 tri-power setup. It has long branch exhaust manifolds, and a super duty rear end with 3:55 gears.
