        Comments:

        Topper took a '68 Goat, and did its classic customizing. They did a major restyling of the front grill, and added a power bulge on the driver's side of the hood.
        In addition to numerous body colors, the roof paint options make for a lot of variation with the roof coming with a Landau Black Roof or No Black Roof.
        The black accent paint on the grille was present on earlier releases but later went away, so this Detroit has a wide variety of variations!




        The Custom GTO in Orange, Opening Doors and Black Roof

        The Custom GTO came with white or red interiors and an opening hood. Earlier production had opening doors which were later abandoned.
        The black roof is found on the opening door version as is the black grille paint.




        Custom GTO in Orange, Opening Doors - No Black Roof

        The opening door version also came without the black roof.

        Shawn's Take!

        The GTO's commonly come in green (pine green), red, orange and purple. They are also found in honey gold, gold, lime, teal, blue, royal blue, and violet. The rarest
        color for a GTO is fuschia. Black roof variations are more desirable but not necessarily more rare. Sealed door variations come in all of the above except for fuschia
        with blue being the toughest to find. Mirror finishes include orange, purple, light orange, red, gold, champagne pink with true pink the rarest. Since GTO's are the
        favorite of most collectors, they usually command the highest prices. Most colors can be found in the $300 -$400 range. Gold and Lime with white interior $500+.
        Fuschia is $800+. Most mirrors are in the $400-$600 range. For the mirror gold with white interior add at least another $200, Champagne Pink $700+, True Pink $900+.
