Bill Mellott’s 1965 Pro Mod GTO is one of those cars that looks like it is going 300 mph and it is just setting still! Bill has been dedicated to racing traditional Pontiacs for years and his current labor of love is this ’65 GTO. Bill has been a blower guy for a long time and has been on the list over the years with a few different cars and combos. This car has yet to reach its full potential and has currently run a best of 4.09 in the 1/8 mile and a best of 6.667 @ 189 mph in the 1/4 mile.
