I rang up Scott Tiemann to see what his opinion was on the GM decal- he said that to his knowledge it was passenger's door only, although everybody adds two when they repaint or restore. The GTOAA does not deduct for having it either way according to Scott. His other comment was that my blue car is the best original 67 he has seen and that was one of the things it confirmed- one GM decal. Of course, my opinion is that some cars may have got two, some one, and some none? It was GM in the 60's! At least their gas pedals don't stick

Sam and Bruce- unfortunately I will not be at the Pavillions, I am racing at PIR this weekend and escaping to take Ms Cana to a non-paper plate dinner on Sat night. I was at PV last week and those mean rain drops must have scared you locals away! If you guys get bored this weekend, head over to PIR, good vintage race going on Sat and Sun. Free to get in, tell them you are on my crew- go to Gate 8.

See Ya,
Colin

My 67 SS427 Impala is original paint and there is one on both doors. Im pretty sure thats the way they all came.Like Colin said they probably just forgot to put one on his drivers door.

Hey Colin...My back was wiped last weekend...

I was on lots of muscle relaxers...not a good idea to drive

Are you out at PIR on Saturday only?

If anyone needs a tutorial on how to how to list an auction, that's it. Beautiful poncho, it's so refreshing to see a car of this originality make it this long without being fluffed under hood!

I recall a thread on the PY forums years ago about the great door decal debate. I've owned two untouched, original paint 67's- both had just one on the passenger's door. Scott Tiemann, GTOAA judge and likely the sharpest Pontiac expert/restorer out there, also thinks just the passenger's door is correct. This is all like Charley's pet peeve "CAUTION FAN" decal thing, though...its just a decal!

That being said, I think one is correct and I also think that there are no absolutes with these old cars. Kwhizz actually owns a survivor GTO with both stickers and 842 aluminum heads I think

Bruce- the vintage race at PIR is both days, Sat and Sunday. Free to get in, just got back from there and it looks like a good turnout. Look for my black GT350 along with a blue mid-year Vette roadster and a yellow 66 Mustang race car (ex-Charley Lillard I might add) under a canopy along the front straight pit wall. I'll be racing as long as my new engine holds....

Thanks for all of the interest in my friend, Andy's, GTO. I think this car rises above the one or two door decal question. Heck, it's still has the original plug wires. Those are not reproductions. Thanks again, Ed
