It wasn't for a GP, but I got a replacement radiator for my Bonneville from U.S. Radiator and was happy with the quality, performance and appearance. http://usradiator.com/radiators?cat=1876

Same radiator as used in a '70 GTO. 3 core or 4 core, then manual or auto application. I had several original 4 cores recored in the early 00's before China cornered the market on spun copper & all copper went through the roof price wise. If you can find an older Desert Cooler that's been put up & not installed that may also work for you.

US radiator Desert cooler was your best bet for good quality OEM replacement made in USA. Should cost you around $500. However, they were bought out about 2 years ago and I'm not sure they are still made in USA. Even if they are, core material and tanks may now be sourced in China. For aluminum, you have Dewitt, Afco, Be Cool and Griffin that have USA 'assembled' offerings. Around $600-$800.
For those that want the same or even better quality but don't mind that it is assembled overseas, Cold Case is under $400. Any viewers interested in a special forum price, shoot me a PM. .
