I worked at a detail shop buffing out cars and spraying undercoating when I was 17. When you detail cars, it's very common to just half ass mask things off and paint the engine. So, obviously, it was Colonel Mustard in the library with the lead pipe.

Did they offer a green convertible top on an A-body in 70?

Considering that in 1970 the WS code signified a Ram Air III with a manual transmission, and this car has no Ram Air and an automatic transmission ... some part of the seller's statement seems to be incorrect.

If I could find a place to put it, this 69 Lemans GTO clone has a lot going for it at $4K BIN in CA. Claims to be a CA rust free body and has the GTO nose and front fenders, which are very choice parts used for Lemans clones. This car painted white with hideaways is always stunning.

Wow... 69 GTO Limelight green RAIV 4-speed M21 3:90 in Oklahoma at $70K BIN. Engine is all hot rodded up. That's a bummer. I find it amazing how many SD T/A's have their original engines, but the 67-70's cars get picked over. IMO, who cares if Butler can squeeze another 200HP out of it. That's not what makes it cool IMO, but rather its rarity for what it is. I would rather drive a stock RAIV than a hot rodded RAIV, but maybe it's just me? Beautiful car though. I love the rare colored cars.

I bought a set of the "Speed minder" gauges for it, just because it's an extremely rare option. If I installed them, even with the original idiot light gauges, the originality of the mileage may be questioned, so I sold them this year. I do have an original set of stacked gauges with the original PCB dated 1969 for it, and if I install those no one is going to care that the originality is in question. Through all my travels combing junkyards in the mid 80's and car shows, I've only seen one set of original stacked gauges, and it was in a Ram Air car. I realize the gauges you guys are talking about look cool, but in a SD car?

Speaking of idiot lights, they rock. How often do you really watch the gauges to monitor the engine? If you do get caught up in driving and not check them for a bit, they'll let you know something need attention NOW! You typically have dial gauges too, so one vote for idiot lights.

It's a frame off resto with mostly new sheetmetal and freshly rebuilt engine, so not sure the original mileage matters. It doesn't to me. I also am not one to really care about preserving value for the next guy, that's like worrying about saving my wife for the next guy. Hopefully there is no next guy, and if there is it's after I'm no longer here to worry about it. I'll start the gauges at zero and keep the original with the car so there's a lineage, but...it matters a lot more to me current condition of a car than the mileage. Especially on a 50+ year old car. If you're worried about the gauges, you might really hate some of the VSE stuff I'm trying to find for it...

Sure looks pretty legit. Some interesting items laying in the trunk also…original console, space-saver spare with original inflator, bumper jack.

It’s the same GTO that sold on BaT last year for $51K. And the exact same photos…. Seller has several dozen transactions but would probably be good to get a current photo to make sure everything is legit.

I recognized the Meat Loaf tape in 8-track player, figured there can’t be two of those in 68 goats lol
