Welcome to the site and I like the car. Nice to have something that has been in the family since new.
I live just east of Buffalo and two of my buddies have '66 GTOs in Candlelight Cream. One is a convertible that resides in Orchard Park and the other a hardtop that is in Niagara Falls. It's a nice color you don't see too often. Good luck with the car and maybe I'll catch you at a cruise night south of the border sometime.
