Can't agree more with 70 copo, as a owner of 3 unrestored GTO's fit and finish is far from a restored car. In 2008 I brought my 70 to the GTO Nationals in the concourse unrestored class, and never did a show of this caliber of cars, I looked around and it was eye candy galore. I even still had the slicks on my car. Then a gentleman, John Sawruk (POntiac Historian) approached me and introduced himself and talked about my car. He pointed out many interesting facts pertaining to my car. Anyway the next day he asked if he can do a walk around with many of the high end restorers. He actually told them that the car was painted in two buildings, the front end in one and the tub in another, and said how the paint varies, with that he asked me to remove the original Uniroyal and mat to point out my trunk area under the mat, it was "never" painted as they new the mat would cover that area. Restored is restored and original will always be original with all the flaws! Everyone has an opinion on what is right & wrong, but if you like it, thats all that matters at the end.
