Stand out among all the Mustangs and Camaros. You see dozens of those at every car show, ut how often do you see a convertible GTO... This car gets so much attention it's insane. Everybody loves it! You will get stuck at the gas station for 30 minutes answering questions and letting people take pics every time you go. This car cruises down the road like a brand new car and is an absolute joy to drive. The motor creates plenty of power and combined with the 4 speed automatic transmission and stock rear end gears, t flies down the highway at 80+ mph effortlessly. This is the rare classic car you can let your wife drive without any issues. My wife loves it and drives it more than I do. It starts with the bump of the key every time. You don't have to wait forever for it to warm up like older engines. It shifts perfectly. It steers perfectly with almost no effort. It has brand new springs and shocks (air shocks in rear) so it rides smoothly. It has the high quality (expensive lol) disk brakes in the front that are adjustable with the simple turn of a knob as well as a comp cams additional booster set up so it stops great. It has new exhaust from headers to Flowmasters to chrome tips. I also installed the cut outs or "electric dumps" that allow you to open the exhaust right past the headers with the flip of a switch. This really sounds amazing and catches everyone's attention when they are open. Then you can close them with the same switch for a quieter ride when you are cruising. Custom console with CD player and 8 speakers with LED lights inside the speakers looks awesome at night. The interior lights are custom LEDs to match the same blue. There are also LEDs installed in the hood scoops. The brand new steering wheel and custom gauges give you an awesome feel when behind the wheel. The power top is in excellent condition and works perfectly. The underside of the car is virtually rust free. It is super strong and looks incredible. All of the attention to detail things that many leave out have been done on this car, nd done right. I've got the urge to paint it a crazy orange color so I decided to test the waters on this auction before I paint it as most people would prefer the silver. Anyway, 'll let the pictures do most of the talking. Make sure to read the list of new parts and work done that I've included after all the pictures at the end of this ad. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding!

I have sold several classic cars here on ebay with 100% positive feedback so bid with confidence. I am willing to drive it to a shipping company with 50 miles or pick you up at an airport with reason etc. I'm pretty flexible and always have smooth transactions here on ebay. This car isn't a trailer queen, t's not perfect, t's 47 yrs old. I can show the car just about anytime so please feel free to come see it if you are interested. Cars always look better in pictures so I definitely recommend coming to see it before you bid/buy. Be ready to buy if you do though because you will fall in love with this car right away. Don't hesitate to call or email if you have any questions at all. Whoever is lucky and gets this car is going to love it. It's absolutely turn key and ready to enjoy. All the lights work as they should. All the gauges work as they should. No surprises here. A stack of paperwork and trunk full of original parts will come with the car.
