I've got a front bumper from an Elegance Series kit, it is molded in yellow and much of the plating is gone.  The plate may be blank.  I do know the "tiger stripe box" kit had "AMT" plates, and the Show & Go kit had blank plates.

I grabbed these images from a completed eBay listing, but not sure if it was from the Mod Stocker version? Guessing yes based upon the X'd out rear trim panel?:

The "tiger stripe box" issue came right after that, maybe even in late '65. 

I just confirmed that the license plates in that one say AMT.

The rear bumper is definitely from the Modified Stocker.  The front bumper shown is most likely from the "tiger stripe box" issue.  The Modified Stocker front bumper had blanked out headlights.

The wheels in the original 65 GTO kit

Thanks, Gerry.

Here's a pic of the chrome plated parts from the Mod Stocker release:

Here's Chris build....sadly the headlamps were not retooled, a missed opportunity to make it stand out from prior releases.

More pics of the original issue AMT No. 5615 '65 GTO kit with original headlamp (*sigh*) and mag wheel detail.

Note the vinyl top detail on the stock roof.

Saw one of these at the gas station yesterday morning: Black 2-door coupe, black interior, Hurst T-handle, 15" American TTs on the biggest tires the guy could physically get in the wheel wells, slight rake.   It don't get much better than that, and I made sure to tell the guy so. He appreciated the attention from someone who knew exactly what it was.
