67 GTO Conv't. Survivor

[1969z280]

Thanks guys. This GTO has been at my place for almost a year. I'm going to miss it when it leaves. If you're looking for a Survivor, this one is pretty tough to beat. Ed

Ed,
VERY cool GTO. Love the color- and love seeing unrestored cars. I have a unrestored 67 convert also, was going to drive it to Bloomington last June but a family emergency came up and had to skip the show. Check it out:

Fun to compare the details, like the original rear window codes, etc.

Best of luck with the eBay sale.

I see the "GM" square sticker on each of your doors (pass. side for blue goat and driver's side for green one). I did not know those were correct? When did they start/stop putting those on there and is that a Pontiac thing? I thot for Chev. that that sticker was only correct starting in '70??

I'd appreciate yr input

Sam,

I don't have my book here, but, as I recall they were supposed to be on the passenger's side door only and are correct for 67 GTO's (and I suspect other Pontiacs?). Most guys put them on both, which is wrong to my recollection. Then again, it has been at least 5 years since I have restored a '67.

I can't speak to the placement/ years used on Chebbies but am sure plenty of members here can chime in on that.

You're a Mopar guy, think of it as GM's version of the Mopar "crown" on the passenger's fender

Sam:

I went and looked at the GM Mark of Excellence tags in the doors. They are both the same color blue and they both look as though they have always been there. I don't believe that they were added.

Also, as you pointed out, Chevrolet began using these as part of their commitment to quality.

Thanks, Ed

Didn't Chevy start in 67 as well? I believe Corvettes started then.
