Recently got one and love it!

I'm surprised I haven't seen more folks order one up yet, it's a great value.

Looked at Verdoro 68s thread and it's a sweet radiator for the money! Something else to put on the list!!!

Great review and writeup on the 68. Glad it worked out for you and you are happy. Mind if we share some of the pictures?

[Verdoro 68]

Go for it!

Verdoro 68, Great pics and info! Looks like a winner, I remember paying over $400 for a Desert Cooler for my old 70 back in the 90's. Great price there, too.

I bought 2 68-72 A-body versions that were on special, so looking forward to seeing if they make a difference over the factory Harrison 4-cores (I'm sure they will) in the '70 455 4-spd LeMans 4-door and the '71 455HO 3-spd GT-37.
The look really nice and the quality is on par with Griffin/Desert Cooler units.

They lack some of the ribbing in the tanks, but you wouldn't be able to see that once installed, and the filler neck is thicker with a threaded overflow tube. Once painted black it won't be very obvious it isn't factory.

if I were in the market for an aluminum rad, it would be a cold case. Period

Dennis,

Where are these "on special" at and how much shipped? I need one for my 68

Thanks
Joe

Joe,

There are some on ebay at a special price because the petcock is not in the correct location.

I sent you a pm.

I just tested mine last weekend. It was only 60 degrees but the infra red says it was running 165 at the stat when I put it in the shop.

I painted mine with Eastwood radiator black, highly recommend

[1969GTO]

I only painted the tanks on mine and left the rest alone.

[eric_cspan]

Must... see... pics

[ponchjoe]

I wish you could see it, the Eastwood black radiator paint is awesome. Unfortunately it covered up by the fan and shroud....

[1969GTO]

Good info from the member on how to resize the pics, I had no clue either

[ponchjoe]

Mine was not a picture sizing issue, it's all black and you can't really see it.

[Dens71TA]

I just recieved my Cold Case radiator today for my '71 Trans Am and it has a significant twist in the core from the TIG welding process. Is this a problem or nothing to worry about? I doubt the plastic radiator shroud can withstand pulling it flat when the bolts are installed.

[1969GTO]

I like how mine cools, the only thing that bugs me is that the mount for the upper radiator hose is smaller in dia. that the hose is.
I had to find a piece of radiator hose to fit over the radiator upper hose mount and then force my upper radiator hose over that and then double clamp it to seal.
Looks like crap, but I guess I am stuck with it.
Might put the stock copper radiator back on.

I'll have to check mine when i get ready to install it.. I have had it in the box for a few months now waiting..
