Very original but rusty '67 4-speed HO
 

Sad to see such a nicely equipped GTO end up this way. Body and frame look borderline unfixable. Still looks pretty original and generally untouched for what that's worth....

Sad, but true for so many cars = Rust.

They sell just about every panel you need...it's just a matter of how bad you want it and forget about making anything on it if that's the plan

THERES NOT ENOUGH TO START WITH...LOL..coming back as a rebody..post the VIN a couple times in this post..it will be flagged for life...

Actually...
 

I've seen many patchwork "quilts" that started off as a cowl...but the tag wasn't touched! ;) I actually know of a few cars that were bought as parts cars. One had a RA IV block in the trunk so is now a "show piece" that in my state should actually have a salvage title by law. Just sayin'...don't write this one off just yet!

It's at $5200 on ebay now, vin is posted in the listing: http://www.ebay.com/itm/322430125402?rmvSB=true

How do original rally gauges come with a clock and no hood tach?

I wonder what ever happened to the guy that was 'gonna fix it up one day'....

Interesting in theory on the VIN, but there isn't anywhere to do a comprehensive VIN search. Unless someone were to come into these forums and type the entire VIN in a search box, they'd never know that the car they're considering buying was a "VIN swap".

It looks like the bidding at Ebay has ended and the site indicates a sale for $5,100. Hard to believe that anyone would pay that much for it, unless they had a car that they could forge the IDs into easily. Unfortunately, that car was complete junk.

Probably sobered up.....

Cool car, I hope it gets a great resto.

i agree. great car originally, but at this point it is complete junk. this is actually what buoys the value of other HO/4spd cars - not all of them remain.

In an ethical world, the complete cowl makes its way propperly welded into a clean donor body. if no rust in the A pillars & original roof structure, the roof could also be retained, otherwise it's just the cowl. Done right, end result would be very high quality, more so than typical result of Quickee "restorer" scabbing hip quarters, a trunk floor, & tail panels into what was a mudded up driver '67 GTO. Here's to whoever bought this car, making the correct decisions!

Agreed, hopefully someone does it right. Looking at the pics on Ebay, it looks like even the cowl/firewall is rusted across the seams and the A pillar with the VIN looks rusty too. That car has terminal cancer. Interesting that there are some other old Pontiacs sitting around with it.

I see it was sold for 5100.00. Good luck to whoever bought it. After seeing the photos, I say it's not worth much at all.... surely not 5100.00.

It went through eBay again.

"parked in a field in 1978...". not a single person could get this car out of the owners hands for 40 years??? what a waste!

Yeah, that's the problem. Sat in a field untouched for 39 years.
