I will make a couple more comments.

First, you could get a 67 GTO 2 door post coupe, about 7,500 were made. Second, don't take the PHS paperwork as gospel. I work in multimedia/graphics and with todays graphic software tools anyone with a decent scanner and Photo Shop can alter documents with amazing results. This is driving banks crazy with fake checks, wire transfers, etc... In fact I think Jim Mattison of PHS commented he has even seen results that would have fooled him. You need to do more research. Check all the numbers, engine, transmission, sheet metal, date codes, etc... these will at least give you a better idea of the cars history and you can make an informed decision on whether or not to purchase and what it is worth.

Now here is the thing I really don't understand. Why do people feel they have to take a car and make it something it is not? I would appreciate a very nice Lemans more than I would a tired and beat GTO. What is wrong with a Tempest or Lemans? Why does a nice GTO have to become a Judge? In a sea of GTO's a comparitively restored Lemans or Tempest stands out and draws attention. As some have pointed out a Lemans or Tempest is very similar to a GTO and the Judge package was just an option on the GTO. So why not enjoy the car as it was born and do whatever modifications suit you. Just don't call it something it never was, that is what causes all the controversy.
