That would be a great color combo
Someone will probably rebody it because of the extreme rust.
Have to watch & see what it brings

Another post about it in the 70- GTO section

70 GTO

I'd say it will be rebodied also.

Default rust free body

If anybody here buys this I have a 69 rust free body from CA that would make a great donor.Car is complete and rolls for shipping etc.

Default rebody??

NO NEVER!! , I would recommend that all the body panels be removed from the factory spot welds and re welded onto this cowl to simulate how Pontiac built the car on the assembly line.
Then they could claim 100 % original sheet metal at BJ/ Mecum in 20 yrs when they finally finish it.The seller claims you can cut it at the cowl and replace the back half if you can find a donor,just trying to help some poor sole who buys this speciman.

The irony!

It's fine to replace any AND all panels on the car - quarters, floors roof, inner/outer wells, etc. as long as they meet the old chassis (or whatever is left of it) one at a time. The minute more than one gets attached at the same time, it's a rebody! Never mind that if the floors or wheel wells are repro - that doesn't seem to matter at all.

Personally, I'll buy a clipped car over a swiss cheesed car any day of the week!
