No idea on date but cool photo.

Let me guess.
2 RAII cars - one auto, one stick. The 4sp guy was making fun of the automatic guy. They race for pinks. The automatic was bought new and prepped at Knafels but the 4sp guy did not know. By 500 ft. the automatic already has a car length on him and never has to look back. They are in front of the county DMV so the 4sp guy can sign over the title to the automatic guy.

See how close they are. The 4sp car was in the back. For a second he thought about just ramming the automatic due to anger, but then a cooler head prevailed. He could not intentionally wreck a 68 GTO even though he just lost it.

(It is my guess; I can make it any scenario I want )

But - because of the Endura front bumper - there would be no resulting damage, right?

Good one – did not take that into consideration.

But what about the automatic in front? The front bumper can survive a sledge hammer attack but the back bumper….

The wider whitewalls on the 14" tires make me want to think the pic was taken 1972 & later. Mention that though I dont have a good handle what was avail whitewall 14" tire wise at tires stores in the early 70's. A '68 GTO would have come with what if a factory white wall tire? G78x14's with the narrow whitewall? After the single narrow whitewalls, the dual stripe whitewalls started showing up on on Pontiac A-bodys aprox 1970. Had the original original dual stripes on my 4000 mile '72 Lux LeMans parts car. The first factory issue slightly wider whites I can remember were on '73 models.
