A.J. & Friends Classic Cars Here I am picking up my new GTO on September 17, 2004. November 6, 2004 doing Fun Runs at Cordova Drag Strip in Illinois. It handles great on strip or road! The GTO has a 12-second potential; getting 25 mpg with a top end of 162 mph. (So Far) Here are two of my current rides: Big Red & Little Red. Big Red is a '64 Galaxie, Org R Code. (R indicates 427 8V 4 spd.) with a vanity plate that reads "FORD427". Little Red is my 2004 GTO, Torrid Red, 6-spd, and the vanity plate is "AJGOAT".. Both run great!
