Turnpike cruiser was a model based on the Cutlass Supreme in 67 and the K50 was part of the package. The K50 was a precursor to the heated air being used in the 68 and beyond for quicker warmups to the choke spring via the air intake on the air cleaner.
It worked very well in 67.
I do make a paint mask to repaint the pie plate.

^ THIS

Then 4-4-2 in 1968.

I don't think Pontiac ever called the GTO's 2bbl. Turnpike Cruiser, but I could be wrong.

Thanks for the correction on the CCC included with the TC.

They didn't. I should have put quotes around the phrase which I will. Pontiac simply called the option a Regular Gas 265 HP Version of the GTO's 400 CI engine. It was a NC option on the 68/69 GTO. Only available with the TH Auto Trans. STD rear was 2.56 or 2.76 with A/C.
