Boy, am I glad that the guy that painted that box art for MPC didn't work for GM Design.

Tom S- remember when one (or two?) of them showed up at Norwalk some years ago? Any idea who bought them? I don't even remember who brought them- George Kneivelbard maybe?

I've posted this pic before, but it's worth posting again.
One of my favorite pics of the Goldsmith car at Daytona. They list all the Corvettes at the front of the pack, but no mention as to the "bump on a log" Pontiac sedan on pole. When you look back through the field, you can see Ferraris, Cobras, and a Jaguar. People not familiar with the Goldsmith car would think this is photoshopped.

I seem to recall one of the only negatives posted in a road test back in the day about the new 1968 GTO was the use of stickers for emblems. They thought it cheapened the overall look. There were also a couple negatives about the look of the Endura bumper, as some traditional styling fans claimed that the bumper being body colored made it look like it lost its front bumper.
I believe the 1968 GTO was the first use of stickers as an emblem on a Pontiac (side stripes not included). Think how futuristic this was, as less than 10 years later, most high-performance models were adorned with all sorts of stickers, and the body colored "bumperless" look became standard in the 1990's.

I am now 45 years old, and would probably buy a 68 voodoo green GTO if I could find a decent one... and not get divorced. My dad is now 70 (in great shape) and I would love to see him behind the wheel. I already have an exact duplicate of the 66 GTO he traded in when he bought the 68. Another odd twist... I have the original HO exhaust manifolds off his 68 GTO. They are in great shape. Long story how those were acquired.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
