MEADVILLE, Pa., Aug. 10, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "The GTO Kid": the ultimate fantasy of a 1960's kid and his car. "The GTO Kid" is the creation of published author, Harry M. Anderson Jr.
"Riding as a passenger was his buddy, Randy Sullivan, a classmate and teammate at Southwestern. Randy was one of the few whites that came through and/or lived in Adam's neighborhood near Schafer Highway. His Irish heritage didn't affect their relationship. Randy lived near Oakwood Avenue, which was predominately white. They both met as kids at the Kemeny Recreation Center in the summer of 1954. Randy's parents weren't indifferent toward Adam, while Adam parents thought of Randy as the brother their son never had." --Harry M. Anderson Jr.
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Harry M. Anderson Jr.'s new book is a drag racing adventure.
Adam Knight was a black eighteen-year-old living in Detroit. In 1964, he could be found behind the wheel of his pavement-pounding machine. The energetic young man had just graduated from Detroit's Southwestern High School
with academic honors in math and science as well as athletic honors in
football, basketball, and track. His father was an engineer at GM and a proud parent, so he gave his son something he could only dream about: a
1964 fire engine red Royal Bobcat Pontiac GTO with all the goodies.
Adam's car had a 389-cubic inch, 360-horsepower V-8 with a trio of Carter
dual-throat carburetors, a Safe-T-Track axle, and ear-splitting exhaust along with a four-speed, floor-mounted Hurst Shifter, black bucket seats, nyloncord,
red-streaked, U.S. Royal Tiger Paws, high-performance tires, and an in-dash Stewart-Warner Harry M. Anderson Jr.Tachometer. Royal Pontiac added a special linkage to the tri-powered carburetor setup, which gave the car twelve extra horsepower and positractic in the rear axle. It was the ultimate street machine. Join Adam, his friends, and his girlfriend as they explore 1964 with the ultimate street machine.
