The car originally came from Red Holman Pontiac over in Wayne

I’ve spent quite a bit of time collecting every decal that was on it. I have a new pair of the AC’s that will go on a magnetic backing. That way I can have it his way, or my way, whenever I choose. Have any of you ever seen the tiny “Car of the year” stickers that were put on the vent windows? I’ve yet to find any of them. Frosty, I failed to mention that this car spent its life not far from you. I grew up in Concord, MI. My daddy drove it all around lower Michigan, heck, you may have seen it if you were around in those days.

Rebuild the original mill, replace all lines & hoses, & then drive it like I stole it. It spent 40yrs in the dark, now it’s time to be in the light.

Ahh, you are correct. It’s the reclining option. Solar red was the factory color.

Hello all, my name is John. I live in East Tennessee. I’m currently in the process of restoring the old 68 GTO that my dad bought back in the day. It’s a 400/400THM hardtop. No power steering, no power brakes, but has the headrest option. Bottom picture is the first time it had seen daylight since 1973. How rare is my odd option set?
