Body is unrestored with lots of original parts. Wheels are AR Torque Thrust IIs, 16". Not being a GTO I felt free to modernize and upgrade the car rather than restore it. It drives great and goes like stink! It has been a fun... but very long, project.

Very nice! Although I'm looking at a KILLER DEAL right now on a 68 GTO, if I ever get another Pontiac that's exactly what I would be looking for, a 64 LeMans or Tempest and just trick it out like you have. Good job!
