One thing I can say, is that the coloration is very correct. Notice the degree of gloss on the inner fenders, radiator cradle, and heater box. Then notice that the firewall is a different and lower gloss. The firewall was painted with the floorpan and this is what most restorers miss. They paint everything the same. The things I question are that the engine itself simply looks 'too fresh', but I wasn't there, I didn't see it in person. The camera can sometimes play tricks. Also, the wire type heater hose clamps were changed to Witek clamps in early 65, and Pontiac used ribbed heater hose, not GM stamped hose as Chevy did, of course this could have been changed during reg. maintance. I just don't believe it is completely 'untouched' except for oil changes. There looks like there has been some detailing. That being said. It is a super nice car. I sure wish it were in my garage. And it is a super example of the coloration of early GTO's. Thanks for posting the pics.
