Flat hood and chrome front bumper suggest it’s a LeMans badged as a GTO, but there were a couple of unicorns in the GTO production in 1968 that came that way. If it’s a true GTO that came from the factory like that, it’s a rare piece. There was a Endura delete box one could check for the front bumper which gave the car a chrome front bumper instead of the body color Endura bumper. Which is super rare box that few were checked. The flat hood though wasn’t part of that. I don’t think there was a scooped hood delete option. And for that reason I’m thinking this is a cloned LeMans badged as a GTO.

Either way it’s a gorgeous piece.

 

I knew a guy who had a pair of '69 Z-28s.
One was ordered new by a Doctor who wanted a flat hood. Silver, Black Stripes and a flat hood.

 

Yep, he wanted a sleeper.

 

67 - 69 Z28's were pretty awesome, high revving 302 with no Automatic Transmissions and no Air Conditioning.

 

Yep, a buddy of mine had a ‘69 Z-28 DZ 302 4-speed. Yellow with black stripes. This was back in the early 1980’s. He owned a stripping service which dipped entire vehicle bodies in a chemical vat which stripped it for future body work.

I hadn’t seen his car around for about a year. One day I ran into him and asked if he still had it. No, he disassembled it for a frame off restoration. The parts sat in his shop all that time and bunch of them went missing. He ended up selling off the rest of the parts and all separately. I bet he’s sick to his stomach about it these days, he even was back then. This car was perfect before he went for another frame off restoration.
