My vote is for the 67 Chevelle. Just look at this one I posted in a thread a few weeks ago from Jason Rushforth's website displaying a set of his wheels. I love this car. GO WITH THE CHEVELLE!!!!!!! :yes: :yes:

We did this car (at least the suspension wheels rear end and a bunch of fixes). I can't even remember what wheels it showed up with. I think Americans. 502 BBC ebay buy that needed some Pro-touring mods.

All subjective of course, but the front end styling of the '65 GTO is amazing IMO. :cool:

Get ready to search high and low, every crack and crevice for a decent 65, 66, 67 GTO. They are out there, but hard to find. And when and if you do, it gonna cost you. Just do a 69 Camaro like everyone else. :rofl: :rofl:

Thanks for considering our chassis for your build!:thumbsup: We can do the chassis for the Chevelle of the GTO. (A few differences in the chassis for the GTO, but we do offer them as well)

My only comments would be that the earlier cars (64-65) are narrower and you can not get as wide of a front tire under them. Not a big deal for a street car, but if you are planning to aggressively track the car, more rubber is always better. The GTO would definitely be more unique, but parts could be harder to find and more expensive as far as trim pieces go.

thanks for more photos I am almost 90% set on the GTO, now just to find a good donor car

I also need to decide hard top or drop top. hmmm

Hey Roadster Shop with your Chassis under a 64-65 GTO how big of a wheel and tire can i get in the rear without really destroying the body and interior floors? Id like at least a 285-295 rear on an 11 wide rim if possible.
