Orange 1969 GTO hardtop owned by John Favazza from St. Louis, Missouri. John commented, "I have owned this car for almost nine years now. I bought it off my Wife's boss, the second owner, for $1500 and drove it home. It was originally a warwick blue black vinyl top GTO. It has its original black vinyl bench seat interior with four speed trans. It was completely original and came with five Rally II's but was very rusty. I replaced the trunk floor, quarters, rocker panels, both front fenders, the endura nose, rear bumper (now fiberglass) one windshield pillar and patched several sections of the floor. Besides that, it was pretty solid (a typical Missouri car). Then I pulled out the complete drivetrain, stuck it in my basement and completely rebuilt and detailed the chassis and installed a Chevy twelve bolt rear with a spool 4:11's and strange axles and 4 wheel discs. (The car originally had PFD,PS) Two weeks after the body met the frame I installed THE MOTOR. 436 ci BB Chevy. I know you guy's are cry'in now but this thing guzzles alky and made over 700 HP at the wheels! Yeah, it drinks fuel but I've got a 45 gallon stainless steel fuel cell to feed it's 2 Mpg habit. It's just for fun and it gets lot's of looks. It actually drive's GRRRREAT! Like a brand new GTO with 850 HP!" CLICK->
John's GTO has no hood. If it did have a hood, it would have a huge hole in it. CLICK->

Midnight Blue 1969 Custom S hardtop owned by Bill Skidmore from Sullivan, Indiana. Bill also has a 68 GTO featured in our 1968 Lot. Bill added, "This car was purchased for $400 in 1988 when I was 17. The guy who owned it before me blew the engine at a dragway in Terre Haute (the engine is a 400. I know, I know, Custom S is a 350. I don't know where he got the engine from). So, after a rebuild, some body work, a paint job, and American Racing rims from a previous Custom S that I wrecked, there you have it, a muscle car easily under $2000." CLICK->

Palladium Silver 1969 GTO hardtop, rear end view. The plate says "GRAYGOAT". See the slots under the bumper bolts? That where the bumper jack goes. It has a finger that sticks into the slot. But don't use the slots if you can help it because some jacks will scratch the bumper. Use a garage floor jack whenever possible. PICTURE SET CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE ...
Here's a comment from a recent visitor...
Says Tom Norton (norton.@launch.net.au) -"I live in Brisbane Australia and had never even heard of a Pontiac GTO until your site... I am going to import a 1968 hardtop (my favorite along with 69 judges) and fix it up (I might need your help for that!)"
