Amazing colors? Yes, and it was born black with a white interior!
It's a California car so the body warrants a shiny black paint.
This real GTO was recently off the frame restored including
complete engine rebuild.
EXTERIOR: When you paint a car black you better make sure it's
straight, this one is! Yeah, I just walked around it and it is
straight, no rust or damage and it fits right. Repainted its
original Starlight black color and it is polished smooth and
glossy. The roof was originally painted white, I'm glad they went
all black. The chrome bumpers, headlight bezels, stainless rocker
moldings all shine like new. The grills look new. The Rally ll
wheels were restored and have new tires.
INTERIOR: Born a parchment interior and it looks like it was all
replaced: upholstery and side panels. First, they gutted the
interior and lined it with Dynamat sound deadener. It also got a
new wiring harness. Down on the floor is new carpet, embroidered
mats and seat belts in front. In front of you is a set of rally
gauges including a tachometer. The dashpad was replaced. A retro
stereo was put in the factory hole. Above is a white headliner and
visors along with a working dome light.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Complete, professional engine rebuild with
detailed invoice. The block and heads were boiled, magnafluxed, and
shot blasted. The block was bored, honed, and decked. It looks like
everything was replaced: pistons, bearings, valves, cam and
lifters, roller timing set, harmonic balancer, etc. It's upgraded
with an Edelbrock intake, Sniper fuel injection system, MSD
ignition system and Hooker headers. It was then Dyno tuned at 408
hp and 488 lbs of torque! All the components look fresh and proper:
power brakes, power steering, alternator, wiper motor etc. It runs
cool with a fresh radiator upgraded with a Derale shroud with dual
electric fans and a polished overflow bottle. The chrome valve
covers and air cleaner are shiny; the metal surfaces are painted
neatly.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid and the jamb are painted
slick, weatherstrip and stickers were replaced. The trunk floor is
solid and has a new reproduction mat. The spare has a matching tire
cover.
UNDERSIDE: The front end looks like it was all rebuilt. It has gas
shocks and a fatter swaybar. Rear suspension is rebuilt too with
new springs, bushings, boxed control arms and shocks. Custom dual
exhaust with a crossover pipe, Flowmaster mufflers and splitter
tips. New fuel system including the tank to accommodate the fuel
injection. The brake system was replaced and upgraded to disc in
front. New lines, hoses and e-brake cables. Looking up at the motor
it is still clean and has a high torque starter. Rebuilt Turbo 400
auto with a shift kit, stall converter and high-performance
clutches.
SERVICE: We inspected the car and made adjustments on the driver's
window, lubed the latch and adjusted driver's door lock, reglued a
piece of trim and replaced a trim ring on a wheel.
Bottom line this is a California GTO with amazing colors. The frame
off restoration isn't concourse but done very well and done very
recently. Someone will get a beautiful Goat!
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.
