So I picked up the magazine because it had a GTO in it

They put a newer GTO interior and drivetrain in a older GTO


Now what gets me is the article says its a 69 GTO, but if you look at the pics its actually a 68

It has a 68 front valance, 68 doors (vent windows give it away), and a 68 rear bumper (tails lights were embedded into the bumper in 68 and in 69 they sat between the bumper and trunk lid.

but were are some pics I took from My phone of the article

yeah the nice thing is the whole chassis is a 2006 including the unibody

so the whole thing was a matter of stretching the chassis to accommodate the 68 body shell and fitting the panels

Or they swapped parts around, its a custom car all the way around.

Like going with the fenders and hood off from a 67 C10 and throwing them on a 71.

The 67s had no marker lights on the fenders and the hood on the front rolled back.

*edit* you beat me to it lol... I was just gonna say that maybe it's a 69 and they just swapped all the 68 panels over (the 68 looks better IMO)....

65-66 is still my favorite goat... mmmmm, tri-power......

remember the vent windows, door skins are one thing, but the vent windows would have to involve the whole door shell
