Look at the stance of the car as it rolls along from the side. Rarely do I see a restored car with that ride height front and rear.

Maybe I'm having an old guy moment but I don't recall ever seeing a 4 speed tee handle as shown in the video. I dabble a little in Hurst shifters and wonder if that was a "made for advertising" handle only?

Thanks, but if you look at the video the 4 speed pattern is quite a bit different.

I've had a Hurst 4 speed T handle in my GTO for years. I only wish Hurst a pistol grip handle and shifter like in the Dodge and Plymouth cars had years ago.

Default From the commercial...

Very different from available tees.
So again I'm wondering if this was a one-off and/or were there any more?

That rear end height makes it seem like the trunk is loaded with 5 dead bodies. Really low. Thoughts?

It also looks like the grille had no GTO emblem,

Lightbulb Prototype

This was a television ad that required
a relatively long time to develop.

It was probably created in advance of
the actual production Judge so what
appears in the commercial is probably
a prototype car.
