Buyer beware on this car. I looked at it a few months ago when it was here in the city. It's an absolute nightmare in person. Not even close to a survivor. It has had half quarter skins put on very unprofessional,sheet metal trunk floor rust everywhere. Everything is beat on it. Just looking out for an unsuspecting buyer. One of the worst gtos I've looked at in years. Pictures are hiding lots of issues.

If someone can't tell from those door bottoms that this is a rust bucket, they need help.

He's lying about it being no reserve. He just put it on Philadelphia craigslist today for 14,000

You aren't kidding! As I started looking at the pics in this listing, I thought it didn't look too bad… the farther I went into the detail shots… man this thing is rough! But with a fake shine put on. Someone is going to be very unhappy when they buy this thing.

It may be a rust bucket, but it does have a BIG BLOCK.

That car is crazy rough.

What appears to be the original window sticker is pretty cool though.

Seeing this more and more. Either GTO price are going up or the parts business is. Don't see the value in that car but we also can not get up close and have no PHS on. Who knows HO or ram air 2 . You never know what hiding. Doug
