Midnight Green 1969 GTO hardtop, right front view. Jeff comments, "I brought my GTO to a Cruise-In car show at work (summer 2004). I finally got a halfway decent picture of it since it was painted 10+ years ago."CLICK->

Jeff added a radio which is hidden in the glove compartment. Looks like he is playing a song called "GTO Rock". Jeff tells us more, "I mounted it to the top of the glove compartment using an old CB radio underdash bracket. I layed a long piece of wood across the top of the plastic glove compartment inner box for which the bracket is attached. This keeps the plastic box from sagging over time. Besides putting in this new radio, I replaced the blown front speaker on the original AM/FM in the dash. Now I have two radios. I haven't had a working radio in this car since the early 90's. I tried to drive with a radio on, but found it to be real annoying. I'd rather hear the engine."CLICK-> 
The speakers are also hidden. They are mounted on a piece of wood to the front edge of the bucket seats.CLICK-> 
View of the hidden speakers under the seat. Jeff explains, "I mounted four inch speakers to the front of the seats. I found that the springs in the seats will deflect nearly to the ground when sitting on them. There was just no room to mount them under the seat without feeling them. The bolts go through existing holes in the seat rails."CLICK-> 
Blue 1969 GTO hardtop sitting in a junkyard. Bob DeLorenzo took these pictures. This car arrived at the junkyard in this condition after a horrendous accident. The yard owner thought it was a DWI case. The car is pretty well picked over, but still has the original YS code 400 engine. The nicer Judge in the background is Bob's. This was our Picture Of the Week for 5/13/01CLICK->

This 1969 GTO hardtop is owned by the Puyallup Police Department, in Washington State. It has a messaged 428, 4 speed, & 3.90 rear end. It is fully functional, has "dash mounted police lights, sirens, & police radios. This was our Picture Of The Week for 7/15/01. It was sent in by Mark DaCosta. Here's what Mark had to say about this car, "The Hi-Po GOAT was seized from a druggie & then began duty of the department's DARE program, going to car shows & touring schools promoting DARE. As DARE officer Tim Marron says, "The
GTO is a huge hit with both the kids & adults, especiallly compared to my previous Ford Aerostar". Anyway, I am the President of NW GTO Legends, & we as a GTO club sponsor the DARE GTO & keep it in check for the Police Department. We have had club work parties bringing the GTO back to life as it had sat outside, not running for over a year. Nice feeling of club teamwork to see the DARE GOAT wow a crowd at a carshow."CLICK-> 
1969 GTO from Paul Fargo. This was our Picture Of The Week for 12/2/01. Here's what Paul had to say, "I owe you a debt of gratitude. I was in the market for a nice restorable 69 goat and I found one 15 minutes away on one of the sites that you recommended. This baby has been sitting in a garage since 1987. It has an original YS 400 in it, and it seems pretty tired. My friends were goofing on me and telling me that I was going to be toasted by the local ice cream truck. They might be right, but what they don't know is that I'm sitting on a 428 4-bolt mains block, '70 Ram Air IV 614 heads, Super Duty forged connecting rods and an Armasteel crank. I am also planning on picking up a 12-bolt posi (preferrably 4.11 or 4.33). This time next year, I don't think there will be many ice cream trucks toasting my old goat. Notice the funky paint job. The first time I saw it, I thought it was quite possibly the ugliest paint job that I had ever seen. It does kind of grow on you (like a fungus) and I have actually received at least half a dozen compliments on it!!! Maybe I will look into having it redone at some point, but I'll be addressing the 'go' issues before the 'show'." CLICK-> 
This 1969 GTO has a green interior.CLICK->
