1965-gto-31965 Pontiac GTO Coupe

This is THE original muscle car; a 1964 GTO. This was the first year for GM’s A body as well as the legendary GTO. This example has a bit of rust, but really appears quite solid. At least it hasn’t been sitting in a field for 20 years. It may have been forgotten and neglected, but it doesn’t have it’s tires in the grave just yet.

From the front this ’66 GTO doesn’t look like a bad restoration candidate. But then walk around to the drivers rear and whoooaaa! Where’s the rear quarter panel? Start looking a little closer and you’ll see this car is just waiting to fall apart. The trunk and floor pans are total swiss cheese. And that surface rust covering every body panel might come off with media blasting, but would probably leave enough pits to require a whole new skin of bondo. Read the rest of this entry »

Thanks for Charlie for submitting this project of his. Per his email it was bought in 1980 to restore, but sat in a pole barn with dirt floor until 05-10-2011. He hasn’t decided what to do with it yet. The engine is not frozen, but frame is shot. As you can see from the first shot it’s sagging almost in half.

Good luck on the restoration Charlie or on finding it a good home if you decide to sell it! Read the rest of this entry »

This would be an excellent restoration project if the guy could ever be convinced to part with her. But apparently several attempts have been made, but he’s not biting. It’s supposedly been verified by PHS as a true GTO. Read the rest of this entry »

It’s hard to beat a factory Tr-Power GTO for wow factor. Plus it’s got a 4 speed transmission, 3.55 posi rear and power steering. This one looks like a decent candidate for a full restoration. Sure it has plenty of surface rust, but maybe not much structural cancer. Read the rest of this entry »

This would be a sweet little project Goat. It’s a 1965 GTO and has obviously been sitting, but really looks worse then it is. The rust is there and would need to be dealt with, but if the price was right it could be worth dealing with the cancer.
