This is a real GTO with the original #'s matching 400 engine!
Highly documented with a binder full of paperwork including the
original Protect-O-Plate and even the registration from 1969. It
also has service receipts going back to 1970 and to make it even
better we have the Pontiac Historical documents too. It is equipped
with many desirable options like air conditioning and hideaway
headlights for example. This was a California car for most of its
life and has been lovingly restored and preserved over the years.
It's absolutely gorgeous and the color combo will give you
flashbacks to 1968 when this was Motor Trend's car of the year!
EXTERIOR: Absolutely beautiful! The Verdoro Green paint has been
applied with great attention to detail then polished to a smooth
and glossy finish. Looking down the side of the body, all the metal
is laser straight. All the panels were aligned precisely with tight
consistent gaps that are well above average. The side and back
glass look original, and the windshield was replaced. The rubber
seals and fuzzy strips were replaced. All the chrome is straight
and has a beautiful shine. The front grille with hideaway
headlights is very attractive and in great shape. The redesigned
front bumper proves that everything these Pontiac engineers touch
turns to great. The hood mounted tachometer is one of my favorite
options ever on a car. It's sitting on a gorgeous pair of Pontiac
15" rally rims with radial tires.
INTERIOR: The product of an older detailed restoration, this is a
very original looking interior that is totally groovy! The
headliner does not sag. The dash pad is not cracked. It's equipped
with rally gages and modern Autometer water temp and oil pressure
gauges were added under the dash. A retro stereo fits in the
factory hole. The seats have been recovered some time ago and have
great cushion. It has a very cool and original looking Hurst dual
gate shifter tucked inside a very handy center console with
storage. The real wood steering wheel fits the hand perfectly. It's
equipped with seatbelts front and back, plus the dome light is
working.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: The original #'s matching 400 cubic inch V8
engine still resides under the hood. It's topped off with a 4
barrel carburetor and an Edelbrock intake manifold. It's equipped
with air conditioning, power steering, and power brakes. The
battery is properly secured and the squirters are hooked up. All
the hoses and belts were replaced. The underside of the hood is
painted the same color as the body. The fender wells and firewall
have been neatly painted black.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The underside of the trunk lid and jamb are
painted the same color as the body. A reproduction sticker and new
weather stripping were installed. All the trunk pan metal is solid
and rust free with a with a neatly applied spatter finish
paint.
UNDERSIDE: This car has an older ground up restoration and was
maintained as needed since. The steering and front end were
rebuilt. It has a front sway bar. Replacement shocks were
installed. It's equipped with front power disc brakes that look new
and the emergency brake is hooked up. The dual exhaust system was
completely replaced and upgraded with long tube headers, a
crossover pipe, and polished exhaust tips that exit under the rear
bumper. Looking up at the #"s matching 400 cubic inch V8 it is nice
and clean with a high torque starter. The Turbo 400 automatic
transmission is also clean with no visible leaks. That transfers
power back to the 10 bolt rear end. The floors appear to be solid
and rust free with an undercoating and neatly applied black
paint.
SERVICE: Our lead mechanic thoroughly inspected this car and we
rebuilt the carburetor, replaced the valve cover gaskets, repaired
the leaking transmission, charged the A/C, installed new door
handle hardware, replaced the headlight switch, replaced the
antenna, lubed the rear windows, installed door bumpers, repaired
the leaking rear end, and replaced the front brake hoses.
Have a blast in this is a totally bitchin' classic that is not
going to break the bank! With is highly desired #'s matching engine
and loads of paperwork going back to when it was new, this GTO
checks all the boxes. The great wide track drive is on! If I were
buying one for myself it would have to have the hideaway lights, it
makes the car!
