Another view of the 1968 GTO at a Rod Run in Beaumont Texas. The car benefitted from a suspension upgrade with new sway bars and KYB gas shocks. It likes to chirp the tires on a first to second gear shift. He shipped the car to Norway in May of 1998. CLICK->
Unfortunately, during the trip to Norway, someone stole a part off the
1968 GTO. Helge explains: "Unfortunately, the custom sport horn button bezel on my steering wheel was stolen during transport to Norway. In my country, it's not too easy to find a replacement so I hope one of you guys can help. Either with a bezel or the entire steering wheel, with or without the column. I'm interested in everything and will pay big bucks to the guy that can help e."
