Default Brass Hat Car

I guess when you call it a 'Brass Hat Car' it's worth 15K

I love the part where all the documentation went up in smoke.

Since I've never restored a car before, I'm not sure that car is worth saving no matter what the history. Asking 15 grand seems crazy. Would someone actually buy that car at that price? It looks as if the guy found the car out in some field and though he could make a buck. Too many auctions on TV misleading these clowns I think.

A '69 GTO that appears to have a '68 drivers' door - only the driver gets the vent window.

If it's a real Formula 455 and that's the original engine in it, then it's probably worth saving, but not at $15K starting price. Those were rare cars. It's not like it would be difficult to send the VIN off to PHS and get the paperwork on it again.

I wonder how bad the rust really is? From the pics I'm going to guess there's a lot of rusty badness that *isn't* pictured.

The "vehicle is in tac" yet "all glass is in tank". Hmmm ,... I'm so confused.

That's what it looked like at first, but on a closer look, I think that's just a scratch or something on the glass. Doesn't look like a vent window to me....

Definitely just a reflection on the glass.

Don't dare "low ball" him.

He failed to mention the non-functional A/C.

Doors are solid...just need new skins.....Actually, this one might be savable if the buy in is low enough....Like $2K or so and you could do all the work yourself. I like the red on red cars.

I have a sneaking suspicion that there are more than a few non-functioning items.

I DO NOT WANT ANYONE MISLEAD THEY ARE NOT RESTORABLE
THESE CARS WERE DOCUMENTED 30 YEARS AGO
I HAVE THE PHS DOCUMENTATION FOR BOTH CARS
THESE ARE TRUE GTOs WITH DOCUMENTATION
ANYONE WANTING TO RESTORE A GTO
NEEDS DOCUMENTATION AS A STARTING POINT


Hmmmmm.....

Actually, that is his wire-welding. You should see what he does with a stick!

WOW!

It's been my experience that even in harsh climates, these cars don't rust like their predecessors did.....this however is the exception!
