Re: 68 GTO Project

Thanks. Yeah, the's what we had to do. Originally when purchased the car came with a 69 Lemans valence on it. I found an original at a swapmeet but it was RUFF!!! So much so it just hung on the garage wall. Then we tried a fiberglass replica from PY but it never fit correctly. About 3 years ago the car went to get professionally painted and we decided to put a proper valence on it. After searching and searching at the time there were none to be found. So a master craftsman at the body shop tweaked and welded for a ridiculous amount of time until it was as clean as whistle.

If you're into the history of your car then definitely drop the coin to get the PHS documentation. Mine was one of the last 68's produced up in Detroit and then sold out of a Dealer in Chicago. I have a 66 GTO that was built Nov 1965 in Cali and sold in Mesa AZ.
