Red decals look good on a black car - nice one!

Aegena '68
The following are before and after pics of my '68, aegena blue GTO with teal interior.
It's a 455 (1973 Bonneville motor) with a ram-air III cam. It was built following many of the suggestions in Jim Hand's book and spec's for the ram-air III 400 motors. Added '69 hood scoop decals for that reason and I like the decal appearance. Ron

Thanks Ken .. the only issue is with the metal flake. I feel the particles are too small. I thought about going larger, but ended up using the stock size.
Does look pretty nice on a clean car with the sun on it though. Ron

I saw a very nice '68 in what appeared to be the same color, last week at a Mexican Restaurant in up-town Atlanta. It may have been black and just appeared dark blue under the street lights.
Also, it was raining cats and dogs. I really admire a guy who drives a car like that at 11pm in the rain to get a couple of tacos. I almost thought it was 1982 again!

Looks great to me. You don't see that color very often - I've always been a fan of it. Had my car photographed by a guy from the San Francisco Chronicle today. They have a little section about reader's rides that runs every couple of weeks. Sometimes their selections are questionable ('05 Scion, '86 Suzuki Samurai). When I pulled up the photographer said "Oh, now THIS is a real classic!"

My 69 convertible GTO, bought it from the original owner in 93 in San Antonio, apart from paint and a 69 GP 428HO with a Ram Air set up she is bone original. (good running original engine is safe on a pallet in my garage and I didn't drill holes in the original rocker moldings, bought a spare set and installed 69 Catalina front fender 428 emblems for a "stock" look, they pop in the same holes as the LeMans 350 emblems).
Original interior is completely original down to the carpet and all chrome and bright trim is untouched including rear bumper. Still has the factory softray rear window.

Wheels are original finish, lugnuts, trimrings, centercaps (only the lucite centers were replaced with NOS). Tires are Coker but the factory Wide-O-oval still resides in the trunk on the spare wheel. Hood tach is factory and is accurate within 3,000 RPM of actual engine speed despite periodic rebuilds.

My LeMans is a typical Baltimore car with lots of factory overspray on the floor brace and quarter extensions.

Typical Fremont "fibrous" spatter paint in the trunk. Very different from other plants.

Some interesting details of the GTO before I painted it last year.
spatter paint overspray in the trunk factory inspection tag on the convertible top (factory installed top still in place) an example of the quality welding workmanship of the craftsman working for Fisher-body at the Fremont plant (looks like the rear seat panel was already welded on the other side and resulted in the drivers side being in front of instead of being behind the brace on the tub.

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.
