People think i am actually an "Old Goat". But Old Goat really refers to an old 1968 GTO that i used to have.
Sure it is.
I had a 1964. 400 CU.IN six pack and a four speed.

Since you mentioned Walter I had to make sure Badfinger’s Baby Blue was in my favorite playlist. It was such a memorable ending to a great show, but I digress.
My sister had a '71 GTO 400 with a 3-speed Hurst. 
I won a lot of street races with it when she thought my buddies and I went to the movies in it.

My 1967 NHRA Firebird would have had your tongue hanging out and drooling. 428 CU.IN. the huge three barrel carb. It would pull wheelies coming off of the line.

Think I'll go drag out my Bringing It All Back Home LP.
Oh, wait. Nothing to play it on.
It's not dark yet, but it's gettin' there.
(I believe Bob said that.)
Bored and stroked 400 cu.in. You missed the 389 cu.in which I think was the standard.Tall , enlighten me ? 428 ? Motor options in 67 were 326 , 400 . 350 & 455 not available . Are we talking bored out or did you put a Ford 428 in it ? You got me curious . Life NHRA member here .
The stroke limited the RPM to 5800 rpm maximum. Any faster and they almost guaranteed catastrophic engine failure. The engine was bored out so far the was no repair margin left.
If I'm correct 389 was available until 1966 , but I'm getting old & forgetful .But there was a early produced GTO w/ 389 option so nothing is set in stone . Just not sure if it was & option in a Bird . 389 was Pontiac's " Go To " motor for the big cars starting in the mid 50's " I think " .
