conditioning! • Power four-wheel disc brakes with drilled & slotted
rotors! • Coilover shocks with front and rear sway bars • Power
steering • Edelbrock intake manifold and QuickFuel carburetor •
Dual exhaust system • Polyurethane sway bar bushings for improved

unmistakable presence that made Pontiac's muscle car legendary. The
body is very straight, with dents/dings at a minimum. It's the kind
of car that instantly draws attention whether parked or rolling
down the road! Buyers should be aware that rust is present in areas
including the doors and quarter panels, but the overall
presentation still makes for a striking driver-quality muscle car.
PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW: The paint is not brand new, but it was
applied well and still presents very nicely overall. The color
shines beautifully and suits the GTO's lines perfectly! The red
pinstripe ties in beautifully with the redline tires, and really
sets the Marina Turquoise paint off. Some bubbling is visible in
areas where rust is present, which is something detail-oriented
buyers may wish to address down the road. Even so, the car remains
an absolute head-turner and shows very nicely! INTERIOR CONDITION
OVERVIEW: Inside, the black vinyl bucket seat interior offers a
classic muscle car atmosphere. The cabin presents well and
maintains the proper vintage GTO feel while remaining comfortable
for cruising. The simulated woodgrain gauge cluster really stands
out against the black dash, and someone even took the time to make
sure that the aftermarket gauges under the dash match. The layout
is simple, driver-focused, and exactly what you'd expect from a
mid-60s Pontiac performance machine. With the addition of Vintage
Air air conditioning, this classic muscle car becomes far more
enjoyable during warm weather driving, and as far as muscle cars
go, this GTO is downright comfortable! MECHANICAL OVERVIEW:
Mechanically, this GTO is where the fun really begins. The 389ci V8
fires up instantly, even on a cold start, and settles into a
confident idle ready for action. The upgraded suspension featuring
coilovers, front and rear sway bars, and polyurethane bushings
gives the car an impressively tight feel on the road. Power
four-wheel disc brakes provide modern stopping power, while the
Edelbrock intake and QuickFuel carburetor help deliver strong,
responsive performance. The result is a classic muscle car that not
only looks the part but drives with surprising composure and
confidence. This thing is unbelievably tight, and almost handles
like it is on rails! What it may lack in the cosmetic department is
made up for tenfold in the performance department. WHAT YOU'LL LOVE
ABOUT THIS CAR: • Authentic 242 VIN GTO • Gorgeous Marina Turquoise
color with serious curb appeal • Turn-key driver that starts easily
and runs strong • Excellent suspension and brake upgrades that

more enjoyable WHAT YOU MIGHT HATE ABOUT THIS CAR: • Rust present
in some areas • Paint bubbling in some rust-affected areas • Not a
fully restored show car for the perfectionist collector DOES IT
NEED ANYTHING?: The car runs and drives great as it sits. Buyers
focused on cosmetic perfection may eventually want to address the
rust areas and repaint affected panels, but mechanically it is
ready to enjoy immediately. Buyers should note that the A/C works
great, but the heater does not. The redline tires look great, but
are older. WHAT BUYER IS LOOKING FOR THIS CAR?: This GTO is perfect
