That's a great GTO in any color combo. And so original, you just don't see many of those.

Man, he was hitting pretty close to home with that comment, wasn't he?

I'd love to have an Expresso Brown '69; I'll bet yours attacts a lot more attention at a Pontiac show than a Matador Red 'vert with black guts.

Not a thing wrong with that car that I can see...but then, I'm a sucker for the '69 colors in general. They all look good if done correctly. JMHO Ron

Nice car. I read the entire thread. That 28273 carb must have been sitting around and used later. The 12-68 28273 carb is the one on my January '69 car.

If the wing fits perfectly, it is likely an original wing. Look forward to more pictures.
