I guess I belong to a unique club... downhill cloner. I cloned a GTO from a GTO Judge! Back in the 80's I bought a real 70 Judge (orbit with black guts and 4 speed) and since I didn't like Judges I pulled the wing and swapped the glove box emblem and repainted the car with a lousy black shoot (with just the GTO decals) instead of the orbit orange. I even put trim rings and a factory wood shift knob to get rid of the T-handle!

Has anyone cloned a GTO into a LeMans?

I looked at several cars in several states before I bought this. I answered an add in Hemmings. The add read "1968 Pontiac for sale in Va." I called and he said I better hurry if I was serious because its going in my yard sale in the morning. I was ready to make the drive across the state when he told me he lived in the same county as I do. With in an hour and 3500.00 dollars later I drove the car home. I am the second owner and car has 62K original miles. Some kin owed him some money and in lew painted his car. Very ratty paint job so it was stripped and reshot. Ive added and will add many comforts and options but it will always wear Tempest badging. He said he drove it to many parades and homecoming games as he was a shriner. I told him I would continue the tridition of throwing candy out it when ever I came to a stop light. He has since passed and I regreat not being able to show him the car in a finnished state. The car proudly wears its original set of tags.

You are probably in a very exclusive club
