Never owned one, but going from memory (might not be a good thing...)
I cannot say for sure the difference between a 2bbl GTO and other 2bbl pontiacs, with respect to a chrome lid, but the one i scored ( for 5 bucks LOL ) while pilfering thru a yard in southern new jersey came off a 68 to 72 lemans.

I dont recall the exact year of the car, but when i was looking for things back then i would scour for 68-72 A bodys since i had a 71, and a lot would "cross pollinate".

The contour was "inverted", due to the 2bbl elements were a little taller than the standard 4bbl ones, from what i can recall. the 4bbl lids, chrome or black, were peaked.

looking back now as i type, i wish i had kept the lid when i sold the car......probably worth 500 bucks now...LOL
