The owner of this 1969 Pontiac GTO convertible wanted to upgrade the performance and handling. So they dropped it off at Schwartz Performance in Woodstock, Illinois for a complete rebuild.

The company started by installing one of their G-Machine chassis with power steering rack, front and rear sway bars, and a set of Ridetech single-adjustable coilovers. The car stops thanks to Wilwood six-piston calipers with 13-rotors in front and four-piston calipers with 12-inch rotors on back. Those are covered by a set of US Wheel Pontiac Rally II wheels (17×8,17×9) with Nitto GT555 G2 tires (255/45/17, 285/40/17).
