I"m on the hunt for a car myself. I saw this one. Anyone know if it's good or too good to be true? My preference is 68-69, but a nice deal on a 70 is ok too.

BUT IT NOW

You guys are CRAZY. What we have here at best is a 70 raiv gto with the wrong motor,probably wrong trans and wrong rear. Wrong interior color too. So we have a cobbled up car for how much????? By the time your done you will have more money in it that's it's worth...why do u think the real players on this board and there's plenty are not buying it. And the seller is questionable at best. I've heard out lots of problem deals but I won't go there..ITS CHRISTMAS time for Christ sake. Anyway. If u like to gamble then go for it. I'd rather buy an all original base motor car that's not whored up myself. Here's Tom with the weather!

Factory built with Verdoro Green and black vinyl top,correct?

1970 GTO Ram Air IV 2dr hardtop.Production: 140(automatics)
Interior: Black 258,not correct acc to pictures?

The PHS shows a nicely optioned car and if most options remains,what´s wrong with the price? Seems that the car was delievered with "poverty-caps"

It may not be to the liking of the "numbers matching crowd" but I have seen a lot worse go for more money. If the car is truly a very nice driver and has most of the RAIV engine components it is well worth it. Color changes are personal preference, and a lot of people could care less about numbers matching, they just want the "look". Most of the cars in BJ auctions are not even close to being "correct" but they bring big money. In fact there seems to be a "trend" of non numbers matching "resto" cars with modifications being more "popular" than a true numbers matching car. I think the price is in "sync" with what the car is.

I agree.That car would cost 50.000 dollar in Sweden,easy.And I think the car looks great,way better then Verdoro and a vinyl roof.So buy the car,get in.Put it in the Drive and step on it! Have a cold beer,burn some rubber,listen to that Ram Air V8 and enjoy life!!

Relisted at $23,000 BIN. Sure looks like a nice car to me from the photos and it seems very reasonably priced. Alternatively, you could pay 30K for a numbers matching car, spend 25-50K or more on a restoration, depending on whether you do work yourself or farm it out, and end up losing 15 - 30K when you sell it. That is a nicely optioned car.

But what if you buy it and it is a rebody. Then what do you have. How do you market it with the wrong firewall.

yes, that's the same car.

I'm thinking along the lines of Greg. get in it and drive as is, as long as it wasn't a rebody.

DO REBODIES DRIVE DIFFERENT THAN ORIGINAL BODIES
