1969 GTO hardtop owned by Jack Rollans from Blackwood, New Jersey. Jack had this story to share, "I bought this car in 2001. The car was in pieces but body was good. It still has same paint on it from when I got it. I put the spoiler, hood tach, and Ram Air on it. I was going to copy the 69 4-speed Antique Gold Ram Air 4 WW code car I had back in the 70s. I
watched it go through the crusher were I worked. I junked it there. It was only in the yard for 6 months! The boss's son in-law put it in the crusher to aggravate me. That was in 1979. I found all the Ram Air parts in my mom's garage and put them on this car. I put the spoiler and hood tach on it like the gold one had. I can't seem to make up my mind about painting it. This was originally a Matador Red 4-speed car! Maybe I'll make a Matador Red Judge? I don't know what color red it is now."It appears to be Carousel Red - at least judging from the second picture in Jack's set. CLICK-> 
Carousel Red 1969 GTO hardtop, right rear view. This GTO has an interesting pinstripe along the front fender and door top edge. It follows the lines of the 1969 Judge stripes. There is also a set of pinstripes on the hood - similar to the Ram Air V paint scheme.CLICK-> 
Front end view with the hood open. The pinstripes continue out onto the nose of the car.CLICK-> 
Here is a close-up of the Ram Air components that Jack installed on his 1969 GTO.CLICK-> 
Another shot of Jack's Ram Air engine.CLICK-> 
Jack shows that one end of the Ram Air pan isn't connected. There should be a warm air duct hose that goes down to the engine.CLICK-> 
Warwick Blue 1969 GTO hardtop owned by Barry Buchinski from Boston, Massachusetts. Barry tells us how he got it, "After having one of two children graduate from college, I proceeded to look for my dream car. A '69 GTO hardtop in Warwick Blue, parchment interior, 400, and a 4-speed. I joined our local GTO club, the Poineer Valley GTO Association, in an attempt to find it. I eventually Googled the car spec and found one for sale in Michigan. In January 2007, I flew out to see it and bought it a day later. I then had it shipped to Massachusetts then in March started the frame-off restoration. The car won 1st place at the fall Hemmings Musclepalooza last year. [2007]"CLICK-> 
Warwick Blue 1969 GTO hardtop, right front view. Barry has rolled down both the front and rear side glass to form one large opening. Hardtops are built this way. Pillar/Posts which were not available on the 1969 GTO, have a vertical post separating the two glass panels.CLICK-> 
Warwick Blue 1969 GTO hardtop, right rear view. Barry has installed a set of stock 1969 GTO chrome exhaust tips. He even turned then in the correct direction. Many people turn them to point down at an angle which is incorrect (as far as the way Pontiac installed them).CLICK-> 
Nice clean 400ci engine under the hood.CLICK-> 
The door is open. Let's go for a ride. There is a debate whether that blue GM sticker on the door edge is factory correct or not. Looks good on this car since it matches the paint.CLICK-> 
A shot in from the passenger side looking at the nice clean Parchment seats.CLICK-> 
The trunk is bare. |
