For sale is my 1969 GTO convertible with low miles. It is an all original numbers matching GTO that I purchased from the second owner a few years ago. That owner had the car since 1973 so the history and low mileage is verifiable. It was in Arizona and now California for all of its life, and therefore there is no rust anywhere visible on the car. It is a driver, not a show car although you can see from the photos it is nice shape and gets a lot of thumbs ups because of that. Options: It has factory options such as power top, air conditioning and the fun power antenna. It comes with two sets of wheels, the 5 originals, and the aftermarket 15 inch wheels now on the car. This car has been great fun for me but needs to go to a new home. Paint: The car was originally a more pale yellow (Mayfair Maize) and is now a late model GTO yellow color which is very close to a corvette yellow. It has had just the one repaint done by the prior owner. It is a 6/10 in my opinion, and there are some dings and marks which you can see in the photos. Nothing serious to buff out or fix but it was a less than perfect paint job to begin with as they left the glass in and trim on and simply masked everything. Engine/Drivetrain: I have done motor and electrical work to ensure the car is as mechanically sound as it could be. I have redone the rear end, it has an Auburn posi-traction unit, and 3.73 gears. I have driven the car on lots of long trips but can not guarantee anything as it is almost 50 years old, so sold as is where is, with no warranty. That being said I drive the car regularly, and enjoy its reliability. Suspension/Brakes:Suspension in rear was redone and is excellent, I was waiting on the front end as I was planning to upgrade and go to an aftermarket set up. Because the car is a low mile original numbers matching car, I opted to just keep it as is. The bushings and shocks need to be replaced. although the car drives fine now, just the squeaks you get when things are beginning to wear out. It looks like they are all original, so they are overdue for replacement. Brakes work great although they are manual drum. Interior: The interior is all original, meaning the seats are OK, but tired and worn. They look to be the original and the prior owner stated they were. The carpet is also OK, and looks to be original, but could use replacement if this was going to be a show car. The dash has a water temp gauge installed in the proper location, but it is a non-original item. Obviously necessary in Arizona. Dash is in nice overall but has one of the match original grain covers on it. Don't know what it looks like underneath. What it needs: This is a driver, so if you want a restored GTO this is not it. It runs great, and is a blast to cruise around. I have been on multiple 100+ mile drives in the past months over the weekends but I would encourage any inspection from anyone wanting to drive farther distances as it is an old car. As for what I believe I would do first if I were to keep the car: Replace the front bushings, and repaint the car a different color, add a 4 spd and power windows. The manual window tracks get worn, and one on passenger side rear is hard to manage. That of course is all big bucks so that is why I am selling. I would ask that you don't bid if you don't have the funds to conclude payment in full within three (3) business days. Thanks for looking and good luck.
