As an owner of two cars in Expresso I can agree it is a beautiful color, I think they were copying the late 60's Mercedes brown which is almost identical. It looks especially nice with the parchment interior and ivory top on a convertible. (My Bonneville has the gold interior and the combo is not as nice).
However... the reality of that color is the effect on price and speed of sale. The simple fact that a dealer is asking only mid 20's for what looks to be a rather nice original GTO convertible tells you everything.
On that point the car does look nice, hard to be sure from the pics but the dash details sure have that original low mileage look. Unless the car has hidden rot or collision damage it seems like a lot of car for the money (probably because its brown ;-)
