Or maybe it has been in the salt water during a hurricane? In a flood?

Do you think there is any way this car will be restored? It looks disasterous and with the prices Judges are getting today, I can't see anyone tackling it.

That was a great looking car when new! I suspect we will see it again as a rebody.

I need a tetanus shot just looking at this thing. That is a shame that would be a real nice looking goat. Seems kinda high and it looks like it was under water at one point.

Burgundy with red interior...haven't seen that color combo before. Has anyone seen a 69 GTO with burgundy exterior and red interior?

i think that's basically what the seller is saying in response to one of the questions....

This car can be repaired, I would start with top and tail which would be by taking a tempest le mans or gto body and cut it between the windshield post, and floor, and put it on that frame

Wow...what a shame. There were a ton of old musclecars in a small desert town in CA that I lived in for 3 years, a '70 Cutlass Rallye 350 and a '70 Challenger RT/SE to name two. They would sit in yards, with the "not for sale, gonna restore it someday" line from the owner. At least with those I knew they'd never rust out from sitting in the desert.

I was trying to buy a '67 Camaro SS in these colors. A friend of mine was killed in the car before I could get it away from the owner. Looked sweet...IMHO.

Well if you had even a semi good GTO/LeMans and if the # matching motor and trans were useable I can see someone buying it and swaping the tags and drivetrain. Presto changeo you have a nice numbers matching judge worth 30K or so, well worth the $7500price.
