This is a real code 242 GTO. It's a great looking, driver quality
car. It will turn heads, get compliments but won't win 1st place at
the GTO nationals. I'll take the compliments over trophies any
day.
EXTERIOR: Well it certainly is a good looking car. The color is
attention getting and the Cragars really pop. The body is really
straight, look front to back, there's not a wave. It is smooth all
along the bottom. The paint job is very smooth and glossy. It does
have a number minor flaws that people walking up and looking won't
notice. In front the bumper and headlight bezels are excellent. It
has correct T-3 headlights. There is a tachometer mounted to the
hood. The mirrors are new. The back bumper is nice. The
weatherstrips are original and are brittle. It has a proud stance.
The 15 inch chrome Cragars sparkle like new.
INTERIOR: The upholstery is in excellent shape. The door panels are
excellent. The carpet is good. It has a complete set of GM seat
belts. The dash area is original. No splits in the dash pad. It has
a tachometer on the column and a gauge cluster below the dash. It
has a walnut steering wheel. It has working interior lights, even
in the glove box. It has quartz movement in the clock. The best
part of all is that Hurst shifter sticking out of the floor between
the bucket seats.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: It has a 1968 400 block with the correct 670
heads. Upgraded dual feed Holley carb, Accel coil and MSD ignition
box and a set of headers. Dressed up with new chrome valve covers
and air cleaner. It also has a new Powermaster chrome alternator.
It features power steering and power brakes. Upgraded aluminum
Champion radiator with a clutch fan, shroud and overflow bottle.
The battery is properly secured.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Big trunk. There is some rust repairs in the
floor. They are the original quarters with only splices at the very
bottom. Under the trunk lid is glossy. The weatherstrip is
replaced.
UNDERSIDE: The front end looks like it has new ball joints, sway
bar bushings and shocks. In back it has boxed control arms with new
bushings and Koni gas shocks. The dual exhaust has Flowmaster
mufflers with the correct stainless tips. The brake system was
rebuilt, upgraded with drilled and slotted discs in front. New
e-brake cables. Looking up at the motor it has clean paint, starter
looks new. It has a 4-speed trans. Floors, braces, rockers all look
real clean. It has minor amount of rust in the driver's floor
pan.
This is a real GTO. It isn't show quality but when you are out
shifting those gears it will be turning heads. It's a looker.
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.
Without an appointment there is an admission fee to enter the
showroom. If you buy a car, your admission will be refunded and you
will be given a 1 year membership.
