1969 GTO back from body shop.

Post your pics of your non-Bonneville, and If you have video footage, we want to see it. Videos must be hosted on external web space and hotlinked to PontiacBonnevilleClub.com. Also discuss mechanical problems regarding your non-bonneville (this is not another lounge, but posts don't count, random car vids not of your cars should be in the lounge)

Huh, very cool. What are the other specs? Is it going to be resto-mod, or original restoration? What's the interior color, engine, tranny, etc?

455 engine, turbo 400 transmission and a Oldsmobile 12 bolt with 3.08 gears. Interior was originally dark green but was switched to black before I bought it. The suspension has 2nd gen f-body spindles, rotors, brakes, tubular upper control arms and will be adding a bigger sway bar on the front. The rear control arms will be boxed and a sway bar added. All suspension bushings are polyurathane. 1/2" lowering springs in the rear and 1" in the front. The 455 is in my 62 GP that ran very low 13s in the 1/4 mile at a weight of 4200 pounds with me in it.
Thanks,
Eric
