Up for sale is a real red on red 4 spd #s matching born with drivetrain. We started the restoration by taking apart the entire car and bagging and tagging all clips,screws, moldings etc. I had the body, frame and suspension media blasted by American Dry Stripping in CT. Once it came back we epoxy primed everything. The frame and the suspension then received 2 coats of urethane at 60% gloss for that factory fresh look. The bodywork was then started on the passenger side of the vehicle. The body showed very little rust and not one body panel had to be replaced. There was no bodywork done on the driver side, hood, roof or trunk. The motor, transmission and rear end all were rebuilt to factory specs.With only 58,000 miles on the drivetrain the rebuild posed no problems. We reassembled the car as you see to show that all the parts are here and to make it easier for shipping. The last picture of the black car is this car before the restoration. The car was a fully functional beautiful driver car.I have the original protecto plate, original owners manual, a tag from under the rear seat a few pieces of documentation from 1970s, 2003, and 2006 showing ownership and mileage. Also under the rear seat which I think is really cool was a a road map from the state of Alabama dated 1966. This car was sold to Sam Peak and he took delivery on December 9 1965 in Alabama. I could imagine Mr Peak with a brand new 1966 GTO, a full tank of gas and a road map of the state of Alabama. What a time it must have been. The p-o-p shows service records up to 20,202 miles. The next service info was 12/6/1972 with only 50,635. The last piece of documentation with Sam Peaks name on it was dated 1/11/1979. The next known owner was Larry Skinne and he lived in Alabama as well. He sold the car to Carl Collins on 4/13/2003 in Alabaster Alabama for the price of $8,000.00. Mr Collins owned the vehicle till 3/25/2006 at which time he sold it to John Walker of Hickory North Carolina with a mere 57,664 miles on the odometer. ( car was in Alabama for 40 years ) I purchased the car in 2007 and drove it for a few months. The car drove great and since the drivetrain was so original, I knew the car deserved a frame off restoration. We started the restoration in late 2007 and only got as far as the pictures show.
