Notice the custom headers exiting the RAV heads? No factory headers? Here's why. Former Royal Pontiac employee and racing expert Milt Schornack told us at the 2005 GTOAA Convention that Pontiac never made any production RAV exhaust headers. All headers were custom made. This is why he said that RAV engines were never installed at the factory. That explains why this car is set up the way it is. CLICK->

Matador Red 1969 GTO hardtop owned by Chuck Hay from San Diego California. That's his Torrid Red 2005 GTO next to it. Click here to see more pictures of the 2005 using the Advanced Picture Searcher loaded with year=2005, model-GTO, owner=Chuck Hay. Chuck tells us more about his 1969 GTO, "This Matador Red is my second 69. The first was a silver with a black top which like so many was sold off in the early 70s. I have owned this one for five or six years. It came from Springfield, Ohio and is a numbers matching car. The only changes deal with fuel economy for you see this car is driven. The ignition has be relaced with an electronic MSD system. The TH400 has been relegated to the garage floor being replaced for now with a 700R 4. Net result is freeway cruisin at 16 to 17 mpg. While the 05 is the daily driver this is the weekend cruiser. It has paint chip here, a slight imperfection there but this GOAT is DRIVEN - and to her previous owners (the Ohio POCI guys) - Thank you for taking good car of the GZR GOAT (my grown daughter named it)."

Gold 1969 GTO hardtop owned by Chuck Lennox. Chuck's son Joe tells us more, "This is a numbers matching car that spent about half of its life in a garage in the Mojave dessert. As a result, it is very well preserved. A man bought this car in the late 70's with the intent of slowly restoring it as a Father-Son project. When the son reached driving age, he would have a freshly restored GTO to drive as a first car. Over the years a lot of work was done to the car, but it very rarely ever saw the light of day. When the son finally came old enough to drive, he told his Father that he prefered a pickup truck instead. The heartbroken Father put the car up for sale, and that is how it came to be in the Lennox Pontiac collection. It is still a little rough around the edges, but runs well, and is a great and reliable cruiser." CLICK->
