1968 GT center cap red paint touch-up

[speedy02]

Al Page's car had the GT option and it had a GT gas cap on it.

From the last AD I have on his car it had the normal flip gas cap.

Also, the green 390 GT in CA for sale has the normal flip gas cap as well.

According to Marty GT/CS and HCS cars with the GT package included the GT gas cap and hub caps.

If that is Al's car, the cap has been changed. I saw it many times and it had a GT cap on it.

It also has the Shelby style taillight panel, but we know that's not original.

@Goldie666 I would paint both back to red. I don't think if you wanted to have the car judged they would deduct points for either flip gas caps.

It is interesting to see on a window sticker has POP-OPEN Gas Cap under the GT/CS package and not the GT Equipment Group. Would be interesting to see a build sheet to see how it is shown on there.

Yes, that is Al's car. It has been through two owner since he passed. First in Washington and then Oregon. Changes have been made. One of the giveaways is that his was 1 of 1 on the headrests.

Thank you all for great comments. Will source some suitable paint and will go with red , as they should be. Perhaps cleaning up old paint will reveal red underneath.
