Mr Seymore, I was re-reading this article and post #8 caught my eye. My '65 GTO also was built with out Rally gauges or a tach. It also dose'nt have the GTO emblem on the trunk. It is the trunk that came with the car and has'nt been in a rear accident. I bought it from the orignal owner. The only damage was to the front fenders. I thought it was odd, but didn't think much about it.

The rally gauges/tach were optional, so it is possible for a car (many of them) to be built without that option. The unique-ness in our case was that our car, destined to be a racecar, was ordered with the tach cluster but was still built without (as evidenced by the build sheet). Must have been a part shortage, or some other reason not obvious today.

Relative to your GTO emblem - do you know when the car was built, and what assembly plant?
