My advice is to keep looking and bide your time! Lots of GTO's out there. I would find your local GTO/POCI club and visit some of the members. having an experienced Pontiac person on hand is a Plus when checking cars. Many times I have been called to check out a car with someone that heard of me and my expertiese. Hum, here are some of the ones I checked.
1. 66 GTO Conv. Went to look with the person intrested. It was a Lemans with a GTO hood and grills. Still had the LeMans taillights! Under the hood it had a 68 400 with 62's from a Grand prix. The lot swore it was a GTO but wouldn't sign a paper to confirm it. i pulled the guy away and explained what was wrong and we drove off. The car and dealer vanished several days later!

Another was a 64 GTO that was advertised. I went with My Friend and Former President of the LoneStar GTO club.
It was a 64 Lemans with GTO badges! Again the sailes man swore it was a Legit GTO But no papers and refused to sign a statment for us. Um, No GTO's had a U code 326 in them that I ever knew of! Several months later i recieved another call on the same car. I strongly advised the buyer to avoid the car. He ignored me and after getting his PHS pepers tried to return the car and had no luck! AS IS! he claimed!

Then there was the 2 Fake 70 judges from the Dazed and confuzed movie filmed here! I know exactly what the 2 cars were before they went throught the changes. The owner decided to sell them. Being busy he took them to a Classic Seller and told them that they were fakes and to NOT Sell THEM AS REAL JUDGES!
I saw them out front and decided to check and Yep! they were the ones I helped with a while Back. A sales man came out and pitched the cars to me as Legit Judges! I explained that they were not and He wouldn't listen and Swore that they were real! So I scrapped up some money to make a nice court case.(Purchase the car and the papers and then sue them). I contacted the owner and explained what was happening. He was Livid and went down and took the cars away! But not after several of the Important options mysterously vanished off of both cars!

I could give you several more stories of ripp offs that I helped save people from. But I think the point is made.
I've personally had my best luck through fellow Pontiac People and Just crusing the roads and the local paper!
