After having found a long forgotten original paint 1968 matching numbers GTO, my goal or vision with this car was to completely go through everything necessary to get it back on the road but leaving that survivor/ still on the road look on the outside. I was pretty much able to do that; however, I couldn't help myself with a light touch up re-spray of the Endura bumper and a few small other areas. Overall it's mostly all original paint and if you like this look then here it is. There are small dings & dents / scratches all over from years of use and neglect. There's just something about seeing a non pristine car on the road these days that always turns my head, it reminds me of the 80's (high school days). It's especially fun to open the hood and see a completely clean and restored engine bay with the fresh 400 ci eng. and rebuilt turbo 400 trans. The entire brake and power steering system is brand new as well as all front end bushings ect.. The exhaust also new and nicely done as factory on correct hangers. As far as the hide-away headlight system, all vacuum hoses, bushings and both actuators are new as well as the headlight switch so it goes without say that it works perfectly (many don't). Four brand new Firestone G-70 narrow whites on stock 14" Rally II wheels just as it would have in 68. Interior also restored including new seat foam and every rubber seal on the car including wind wings (68 only). I didn't really do anything with the rear end/ bushings, they looked good and I had to stop somewhere ;). I have a few other toys that are too "pretty" to just use as a car the way we used to do, so the plan with this one was to just leave it on the street covered ready to jump and use/ park anywhere without worry. It's been great, but...with our second child due any day now something needs to go to free up some cash. The dirty hard work on this car has been done for you, use it as is or paint it and have a $30,000 GTO easy. Perfect for a body/paint guy. There's so much more I can tell you about this car but it's best to do so over the phone + more pictures than the 24 they allow here. Thank you for taking a look, feel free to ask any questions.
