Looks like the water pump leaked all over the opti-spark shorting it out requiring all those new parts. New owner should be good for a few thousand miles any way.
I think he is trying to tell us what he thinks of the opti=spark system and location in pic # 6.

Not wanting to be insensitive, but I sure would like to have some of the parts off of that car.

Soon everyone will be doing this in place of bodywork & paint. I think this guy is on to something big.
Can someone send me a pic of a gorgeous GTO body so I can put it on my car? I am sick of doing bodywork.

gotta love the dual sidemounts , wheel covers only, recessed wheel cover in trunk, and continenntial kit and none of the above match the wheels on the car. I sure that 4 cyl pulls it along really well.

The name on the cassette deck is very suggestive of what I'm seeing there...

Hard to believe anyone would ever want a K-car limousine.

Shoulder belts were an option in 66 and not many GTOs had them. My first one did from the factory. No collapsible steering column for that year. 67 was the first year for them.

The way that front end is all bent up I wouldn't pay 6500 for it. Maybe $4000 but that's it. Gonna be some heavy frame damage from hitting that tree... and on the inside too. Maybe even engine and drive train damage too.

The only thing funnier than the car is the text in the ad.

Everything is original, even the motor. It looks like sort of Mitsubishi motor and if you know about these motors. I'm sure they can go over 300,000 .
If I know anything about those motors, they didn't have half the longevity of a Buick 3800.
