Nice collection by the way..

This one had blue interior. I had the bracket that attaches to the steering column and a hole in the fire wall. But I don't know if any thing is original. I found a bunch of the lug nuts in the glove box that have the black center. But I am sure t was not a judge and I think there the only ones that had these. I lifted it and redid the under carriage before putting it on a good frame.

Thank you my cars are not perfect or even all original. I just grew up with these old cars and I love them. I do everything myself so there armature but run and drive and are enjoyed. But nothing special.

You are giving me some motivation to do another car that I have here as I was seriously questioning whether I had another restoration in me. Being that you are 2 years older than I am, I'm now thinking, why not?

Well like they say on the pizza box: You've tried the rest, now try the best.

Honestly a very nice collection - the '69 will fit right in.

My first GTO was Liberty Blue. Great color but hard not to like CR as well. Good luck.

To get a better idea of what you have w/o sending off for PHS invoice copy, check the cowl tag & see how early a body build the car is. Calendar year 1968 build would strongly point to not being originally optioned with a Ram Air engine.

Agree with Greg, nice variety with your collection! Am a big fan of bare bones A12 SuperBees & God willing, I'll eventually have one. In regards to '69 GTO's & Firebird 400's, Liberty Blue is a stunning & desirable color, many would prob agree, more so with parchment interior. My .02 would be to repaint the car Liberty blue. If you have to have a spoiler on back, go for it. Have had two customers that each had decklids prepped & painted, one with a Judge spoiler, one without. Like their changing up tires & wheels, swapping out decklids added some variety.

Why not indeed. I figure that if I am able and I love what I do then do it as long as you can. I am not wealthy and don't care to be at this point in life. I have a few health issues and lots of aches and pains. But hey I am still here. I don't believe in bragging about this stuff because it will be here yet when I am not. But I had a good friend that started a street rod build at 85 years old. I live in the days of my youth and there I will stay. I have one more I want to build after this lol. I have a 72 rallye charger that will have a modern gen III hemi with all the bells. I have to say I love this site and the Pontiac people. I am a member of a lot of sites but this one seems to be more friendly and honest. Thank you all for making me feel at home here!

I might need some help there. I do not understand the GM tags at all. I have spent most of my time in Mopar and Ford.( this is for the post of understanding the build date and tag information.)

[scott70]

Wow ...nice lineup. The best way to have them is not perfect.

Take a clear pic of the tag and post it here.
It will get decoded fast probably.

This is the tag. I haven't had anyway to decode it.

09C is the body build date code.

Body was built 9th month, 3rd week out of the Fremont plant

See if this helps.

So it was an early car. Just wondered as a friend also has a 69 GTO and his did not have the emblem in the center of the dash that mine does. Another guy said they were only on the early cars. I don't know if that is right.

I understand early 69's had the stainless rocker mouldings behind the rear wheels, my early 69 Lemans had them as does yours as shown in the pic.

I am not sure . That was one of my questions. My right side rocker cover was messed up so I was looking for one. I have seen them for sale new but that wouldn't match the one I have. And I have seen stainless and aluminum both. I will look at the rear ones and see if I can tell. There off the car right now.

[433lemans]

The rear rockers were only installed on the early models is what I meant. I think the early engine water pumps had the short pulley snout also.

I will check them out. I pulled them but never paid much attention .

So i heard stories the 66 Charger had a nice fluorescent dash. Assuming the 68 does also.

The 69-70 GTO Dark Blue interiors can be a real nice look.

My October 68 build has the dash emblem and the stainless trim behind the rear wheels.
