I’m surprised they blacked out the recessed area of the hood scope.
Many repainted GTO’s have the body color in that area. Silly!
The pinstripe on a 65-66-67 GTO was one of the trademarks that set it apart from the Lemans and Tempest.
If you went to your Pontiac Dealer to special order a GTO to your liking, you could have the “delete pinstripe” noted on your order.
Not many elected to do this, consequently the vast majority of GTO’s have pinstripes.
I think the pinstripe looks awesome on these cars and accents the body lines.
Pinstripe colors.
Starlight Black
Cameo Ivory
Montero Red
The stripe colors were determined by exterior and interior colors of the car.
