This is an original, numbers matching, low mileage 1968 GTO survivor which I have owned for several years. It has been garage kept in Arizona and driven intermittently but was never a daily driver. Equipment: PS, PB, Rally wheels, Driver rear view mirror, OPGI AM/FM radio (original saved), Vinyl top, Split bench seat, Automatic transmission/column shift, Rally clock, Vintage A/C added (all original parts saved).
As far as my mechanic could tell the sheet metal is original and without rust or damage repair (painted about 3 years ago and verified by the painter). The body is straight as can be as you can see in the pictures. There are no rusted floor pans anywhere. You will find nothing more than minor surface rust on the under carriage. The frame is in excellent shape. It may not be as pretty as some underneath but, rest assured, it's a solid, rust free vehicle. The paint was done by a retired painter. It looks great but is not show quality. The color is not the original Mayfair Maize but is now Solar Red. No rust shows through on the body anywhere. The rear bumper is excellent. The chrome trim looks good but might have a small ding in places. The vinyl top was replaced while I have owned the car and has no tears. The interior is in very good condition. There are no tears or worn areas. The 400 ci V8 fires up like a new vehicle and runs strong.
What has been done to the car? Front suspension rebuilt, new rear shocks, original carburetor rebuilt about 6 months ago, original Harrison radiator recored (still have original tags), new dash pad, new instrument lenses. What needs replacing? Rear package shelf should be replaced. Rear speaker and clock do not work. Red Line tires still have plenty of tread. Inspections welcome.
Interestingly, I have paperwork with old titles, repairs, etc. including the title issued to the original owner in 1968. If you are looking for an original, unmolested, low mileage car to drive and enjoy and/or take to the next level, you won't be disappointed with this GTO.
