Hard decision to let go of the GTO by your family member I expect.

Good luck with the sale.

It is .. honestly, the car is super cool but south Florida no AC no power steering. I drove the car today and I thought I was gonna die.!!! Not to mention, it’s a size of a school bus!! He’s in his 80s now and could use the money! But it really is a super cool time capsule I stopped and showed a local collector. He was super impressed. Took lots of photos…

Very nice car. I hope it does well. Might make me think about selling my 67 GTO vert with A/C, PS th400 auto.

Is it being sold at auction with a reserve ?
If so, how did you arrive at a reserve price ?

Be very careful!I have seen them end auctions early for a shill bidder,also seen them build up the price with the same.You can also see phantom bids.Hope you have a reserve.Tom

Thanks I missed that first time I looked at the link.

More underhood pics could help. AC and power steering are easy add ons for buyers... Great looking GTO!

Baron Von Zeppelin 07-09-2025 09:25 PM

Almost seems like they are intentionally down-playing the car on their listing .
64-67 GTOs have not been doing too great the past couple years at Mecum events.
Quality of the cars may be mostly to blame.

The headline should read
Ultimate Survivor - 1 owner
Factory WS TriPower car , all numbers matching , original paint interior & top.

Instead it says
389 CI - V8 , 4 speed

Probably planned to go RNM with Dana making an offer after it rolls off the stage.
who knows

They have the Mecum rule and can and will lift the reserve.

I wish the guy the best.

Buyer is gonna add PS, and the Conv Boot.
Vintage AC maybe/not.

Otherwise pretty, great survivor Convertible GTO.
