Absolutely beautiful. My Dad ordered his SS454 LS5 Cranbury Red, Black Stripe Bench seat M22 373 posi Cowl hood power steering, had no tach, in 1969 and took delivery in early '70. He ordered it with the T-10, but for some reason, they put the M22 in it, and before my Dad picked up the car, the dealer called him to see about paying the difference between the T-10 and M22. My Dad told them to keep the car then. but they said OK, we will hide the cost somewhere. We used it as the Family car for about 5 years, after that, it received some serious power up-grades and he started racing it. Somewhere down the line, he purchased an L-88 427, went 90 over, roller cam and dual 4's. He pulled the LS5 and swapped the 427. Eventually got into the mid 9's. Around 1980, he grew tired of it, put the LS5 back in and sold it dirt cheap, and purchased a 68 RS SS Camaro. Anyhow, Beautiful Car Patrick. Keep up the great finds and Video's !

However, I did have a 1966 GTO and a 19968 GTO, wife wrecked both of them.....got rid of wife! Only wish I could afford one of the following cars: 69 Road Runner, 65-67 Chevelle SS, 1970 Chevelle SS, or a 65 GTO. One can ONLY wish I suppose, especially at the price of them today.

Pro Tip! If you want to search the comments to see if someone else mentioned the same thing, keep scrolling down so that all the comments load (it may take several trips to the bottom for all to load). THEN... "Command F" or use your browser's main menu to "Find". Then type your keywords. I did this to find out what the strange emblem was on the front fender, located right above the turn signal. Rather than read through all the comments. I did a Find on the word "Fender" and found all 12 instances (now 13 - lol) where someone asked about this emblem. It saved me a lot of time!

I don't know if they were trade one, or left overs, but I asked my Dad why ours only had two head lights and those had 4 head lights and stripes.
