There's a color you don't see every day

I noticed in the comments that the seller states the mirrors and Hurst badge are factory original.

I like it but I doubt I'll ever paint my car yellow.

"The body was finished from the factory in Goldenrod Yellow and is said to have been repainted as part of the aforementioned refurbishment."

Who writes this gibberish?

And that engine stamp is completely bogus.

BaT writes all the descriptions for the sellers based on the info the seller provides.
I've always hated that embellished writing style. Too bad George Carlin is no longer with us.
Ever heard this one?

I thought the dual gate shifter was a 67/68 option only for GTOs?? Did some 69s have it from the factory?

Same thing with sport mirrors...thought they were only a 70+ model year option?

The details on that car are lacking. A driver at best.

Good thing they included photos of the jumper cables and first aid kit.

No Hurst automatic shifter in '69. Pontiac put their own version of a dual gate in the GTO automatics. No pattern you can see in the bezel but by pushing to the right, you can make it shift thru the gears with stops.
You are right, those mirrors weren't available in '69.

Love the color, but I'm biased...
