Red 1968 LeMans (GTO clone) hardtop owned by David Loprinzi and his Uncle Larry Amato. Dave comments, "It has a 474 cubic inch poncho motorwith a 6-71 blower on top (about 650 horse), turbo 400, and a 12 bolt with 3.42 rear. I also built this one of a kind chrome nose with hide-aways. The grilles were made flush like 69 grilles. I made a custom light up arrowhead emblem on the nose. The car has not been to the track yet, but will soon." CLICK->

Black 1968 GTO hardtop owned by Jorge from Tucson, Arizona. He calls his goat 'The Black Dahlia'. Jorge tells us more, "The lady first graced my presence October 7, 2005 when presented as a birthday present from my wife. While traveling across the country to my side in Tucson, she made friends with the likes of Brooks & Dunn. She loves Rock n Roll and will purr like a kitten with Journey playing the air waves." I think that "The Black Dahlia" is an interesting name for a muscle car. Did you know the name has a tie to a gruesome murder mystery that has been featured in books and movies? Elizabeth Short, better known as the Black Dahlia, is a murder victim, born July 29, 1924 and died January 15, 1947. She was cut into two pieces with a butcher knife.

Green 1968 GTO hardtop owned by Jim from Massachusetts. Jim's father bought it brand new back in the day. Its got a pair of dark pinstripes running down the fender line up to the back of the door - in the same basic shape as a 1969 Judge. CLICK->

Green 1968 GTO hardtop, left front view with headlight covers. I can't figure out the purpose of the smoked headlight covers. Although, in high school I went to a glass shop and had them make me some black plastic grille covers. They were cool to look at, but made the car engine temperature get somewhat hotter. CLICK->
