Hard decision to let go of the GTO by your family member I expect.

Good luck with the sale.

It is .. honestly, the car is super cool but south Florida no AC no power steering. I drove the car today and I thought I was gonna die.!!! Not to mention, it’s a size of a school bus!! He’s in his 80s now and could use the money! But it really is a super cool time capsule I stopped and showed a local collector. He was super impressed. Took lots of photos…

Is it being sold at auction with a reserve ?
If so, how did you arrive at a reserve price ?

More underhood pics could help. AC and power steering are easy add ons for buyers... Great looking GTO!

Almost seems like they are intentionally down-playing the car on their listing .
64-67 GTOs have not been doing too great the past couple years at Mecum events.
Quality of the cars may be mostly to blame.

The headline should read
Ultimate Survivor - 1 owner
Factory WS TriPower car , all numbers matching , original paint interior & top.

Instead it says
389 CI - V8 , 4 speed

Probably planned to go RNM with Dana making an offer after it rolls off the stage.
who knows

Don’t worry, they will pressure him to lower the reserve during the auction….

They have the Mecum rule and can and will lift the reserve.

I wish the guy the best.
