GEET O Tiger

[41chevy]

Jim Wangers, along with everybody’s favorite felonious car executive Jon Z. DeLorean, more or less hatched the original GTO way back when. A few years later, in cahoots with the old Royal Pontiac store, Wangers was totally responsible for the Judge. He even copped gold at a few NHRA national events in the early ’60s in Pontiac Stockers, then became one of the hippest car marketers of all time.
In ’66, Wangers’ GeeTO Tiger program was pure schtick, a promotional boil aimed at getting enthusiasts involved on the ground level. Selected individuals at certain dragstrip events would be invited to beat the Tiger (actually one of the Royal crew sweating into his socks beneath a ridiculous striped getup) in a heads-up race with two Goats: one with a black panel, the other with a white panel.
I had both done but Photo Bucket ate em

The early Goats were the best looking, in my opinion.

Nice GOAT fer sure. Is this an original issue? I ask because it has the correct decals for both sides. The issues that I've seen have the decals for one side as the black car and the white decals for the other side. Which doesn't make since to me. I wanted to build both cars and you can't because of the decals. Plus, Revell didn't put in any drag parts for this kit. ?

it's an original, right down to the Gold Line tires. I got the tiger driver from the one I did in white.

I wish that Revell would have made both sets of decals instead of two different sides. I think that was kinda stupid in my opinion. Your's looks great fer sure Paul. Did the original kit come with the drag parts?

Only mags and a really poorly molded set of headers. I always wondered why at least no Super stock parts were included.
