I'd paint it white with a red interior and it wouldn't have any GTO badges on it. If it drove by you'd think it was a GTO, but it's not, so why pretend to be a GTO, if it looks just like a GTO? Put in whatever engine you wanted, including a Chevy crate engine (I can hear the boos). Like it or not there are different paths you can take, but if you end up with a cool car that runs well on a budget, a car like this on really makes it easy. Doesn't look like hardly any real rust damage or body panel damage.
