I've got access to a '70 GTO for sale (white, vinyl top, 400ci/TH400, A/C, disk brake, HD suspension car). This things is mainly roller but just needs brake work to be a driver. doesn't have the original motor but does have '72 400 from a GrandPrix with most everything there.

Typical rust issues in the lower-rear area of sail panel and lower-rear corner of wheel wells to match. Needs a trunk floor, sheet metal between the deck lid and rear window, and a small portion of the pass. side rear floor. Also doesn't have front or rear lower valances (but does have front turn signal housings and trim).

Interior still has the seats and console but everything is in rough shape. Anything that was once soft is now cracked and dried (dash, interior panels, front bumper, etc).

I'd probly rate this car closer to a 6 than 5 by the Hemmings condition ratings and the owner is asking about that same price (i wonder if he's a member on here...?).

So, on to my question. Long term investment, is this car worth picking up to restore down the road? I'd tear into it enough to neutralize it's condition and get it on the road but that's it for probably another 5 yrs. i'm more into first gen firebirds but i love the 70 GTO styling. this opportunity fell in my lap so i'm not sure how easy it would be to find a slightly better condition car with fewer body issues. are they available or should this be something to jump on? thanks for any thoughts!!
