The GTO is pretty rusty but I've seen a lot worse - they still may be worth saving.

The GTO is a fairly rare car, but rare doesn't always equate to valuable. I have seen a figure that only 17 were built, that figure may, or may not be correct. I once owned one back in the late 70s, a Florentine red one with white guts. Not sure if that figure is correct, but they aren't very common because Pontiac only built 4306 73 GTOs total.
All 455s were automatics also from what I've read. Seems the M21 HD Muncie wouldn't stand up behind a 455 in a 4000 lb configuration chassis, or so the engineers thought, so the 455 cars got a T400. As all 73-74 GM cars the sheet metal used was subject to very rapid rusting in the rust belt, so deteriorated metal is really common. I've owned a 73 GTO, Grand Am, and a Trans Am all which rusted prematurely due to inferior quality sheet metal used in their manufacturing.

Don't the GTO decals say "400 CID"? I don't see 455, and I even tried enlarging the photo.

Are these cars off RT107?
I think I've seen them before. It's a shame.

These cars have been in the woods so long and owner just left them to waste.
I don’t think there is much left to them and the note he left on cardboard is a joke

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
