1968 GTO for restoration. A true GTO that is original except the engine. It has a good running 1969 400/350hp engine coded XH from a Grand Prix. The engine was in an other car and was rebuilt years ago but sat due to a broken heater hose pipe. I replaced the timing cover, cleaned and painted the engine and installed it in this GTO primarily to get the car drivable. Although it's painted, it has NOT been recently rebuilt! It does run well, burns no oil and makes no unusual noises. The car should have a YS coded 400, but this engine works well until a YS is located. That was my thinking. The transmission and rear are original. TH400 and a non-posi rear.The body is in good condition.All the body panels are original except the trunk lid. There are dents all over but very little rust. The only rust holes are behind the right rear wheel, the back lower part of the right fender and a few small holes in the trunk. The floor pans, roof, doors, frame, dash, etc, are rust free. Car has whats left of the original Springmist green paint so nothing to hide. The left quarter was hit at one time and a partial quarter from a doner tempest was installed but needs to be finished. There is no body filler on the car except the trunk lid which is not original and should BE REPLACED with a nicer one. The seats are right, but worn out and wrong color. Needs lots of interior work but almost complete. I also have all the trim you see missing in the pictures. The AC parts are all there but the belt. all heater/ac modes work. Heater works, AC has no refrigerant. Steering gear is good, brakes are poor. Left front wheel locks up under hard braking. Exhaust is NEW and OEM. The hood is buckled, will need a new hood. The headlight doors are all original and still work! The radio does not work. Nor does the clock. The wiper arms are missing, but the motor works and I have the stainless panel for the cowl. The front bumper is not very good. It could be repaired but recommend replacing it. As mentioned earlier, body has quite a few dents. Mainly the right quarter, right door and left fender, but all repairable in my opinion. Dash pad has just one crack. Console nice, missing lid. All door panels, headliner and carpet MISSING. Wheels are correct 14x6 JC missing two trim rings.Rocker chrome included and decent, rear wheel moldings MISSING. All and all a VERY good car that deserved and full restoration and super solid structure. It wont take much to make the car an everyday driver. Just brake work and minor work. The master cylinder is new and I have the original master cylinder that needs rebuilt. Color codes P2. Springmist Green, black vinyl top. interior code 223, black. Clear title. Car will start and drive onto a car hauler no problem. No deposit necessary, but require full payment within 10 days after auction ends.
