Stunning color combination! This GTO was completely taken apart,
the body was off the frame and it was restored. It is loaded with
appeal and options.
EXTERIOR: The body is arrow straight, the panels fit real nicely.
Here's the amazing part- it was done in 1996! 25 year old paint and
it's held up remarkably well, especially being black. I don't see
any significant issues. It has a mirror finish. The rubber nose has
no damage, there are a couple hairline cracks in the paint. The
grills are in real nice shape. The windshield was replaced, the
trim around it's been polished. It has a factory power antenna. In
back the rear bumper was rechromed. Tail lights are good, not new.
The black convertible power top is real nice shape. The invoices
lists new hinge assemblys, door latch assembly, and window
regulators. It has rally ll wheels with correct trim, caps and lug
nuts. The weatherstrips and window seals were all replaced.
INTERIOR: Not only is the pearl white outstanding against the black
but it also stays much cooler. New cushions, upholstery, headrests
and chrome on the seats. It has complete set of GM seat belts. Down
on the floor the carpet looks new. It has in GTO embroidered mats.
The dash pad is in really good shape except for a few small cracks.
The instrument panel is real nice, it's not broken or cut up. It
has an AM-FM stereo with 8-track player. There is a stereo hidden
in the glove box and custom kick panels with speakers. It also has
a deluxe steering wheel on a tilt column.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: The 400 was upgraded with a 455 motor that was
bored to a 468. It has a performance cam, good heads, polished
aluminum intake, Edelbrock carb with electric choke. On top of that
is a factory ram air system. It also features factory air
conditioning that's retrofitted to R134 freon. It also has power
steering and power brakes. The engine bay is all painted smooth and
glossy. It looks like it was all apart and restored. The hardware
was replaced, the heater box was restored.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Perfectly clean metal and the spatter paint was
sprayed from a gun and it looks like the original. The well liner
and weatherstrip was replaced. It has a spare.
UNDERSIDE: The body was off the frame and the chassis was
completely taken apart. The front steering and suspension was
completely rebuilt. Bushings, springs, balljoints, tie rods, center
link was replaced. It has a fat chrome swaybar. In back the
bushings, shocks and hardware were replaced. It has a chrome
swaybar. It also has upgraded coil over shocks. The dual exhaust
has Flowmaster mufflers and stainless tips. The brake system was
completely rebuilt. It has disc in front, the e-brake assembly is
hooked up. The fuel system was replaced including tank, straps and
sending unit. Looking up at the motor it's super clean. It has a
Turbo 400 automatic trans with a chrome pan. In back it has it's
original 3.23 posi rear with a chrome cover. The frame and floors
are clean solid metal that was prepped and painted. Satin black
floors and semi gloss chassis. Several parts look like the have a
zinc finish.
Restored out in California in 1996. It was part of a multiple car
collection the last 15 years. He kept it stored and rarely used it.
So it's not brand new but I can tell it was restored right. It
still looks amazing!
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle.
Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure
your questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do
a walk around video that explains the car's condition in
detail.
**These cars are displayed in a museum. If interested in a
particular car make an appointment with a salesman to see that car.

showroom. If you buy a car, your admission will be refunded and you
