Don't change the paint- you will be glad you left it as is. The Expresso Brown is an authenticity that you will not replace with retail red. Take it from a guy who made that mistake.

Does NOT need a repiant. if it is MN then a great price. Maybe can be had for 24K

You will get 100 times more "thumbs up" then when driving the ubuiquitous red sports car or whatever "popular" color is currently "in."

It will look like a REAL GTO from the 60s

I agree, Expresso brown is a great classy color on a GTO.
Forget about retread red color change.

+1. Great 60s color and stunning with the white top and interior. If you buy it leave it OEM color...the world has enough black, red and orange GTOs....

If the car checks out and is a well maintained (i.e - no shoddy repairs in past or significant rust) 46K mile car that has original powertrain and just needs paint, with little to no body work, I think the asking price is where it should be...I would offer 22,500 with 24K being my target. That car should be 30-35K car all day long with fresh paint.
