Car came from factorywith somepretty good options, including, Retractable Headlamp Covers, Tilt Steering Wheel, Power Steering, Deluxe Steering Wheel,Rally IIWheels, G77 x 14 Redline Tires, Power Top, Power Deck Lid Release, F-41Suspension Ride & Handling, Exhaust Tips, Floor Mats, Rally Gauges in dash Tachometer,Am Radio with 8-Track Tape Player (missing).( Also missingare original Air Cleaner, factory 9782482 Water Pump, Distributor Vacuum Control Switch & Hose Assembly.) I have the original#salternator, 1111449 distributor, and master cylinderthat go with car. All of the factoryhide-away headlight hoses & canister still on car. Vacuum switch is bad. Car runs, drivesout strait with no issues. Starts and idles perfect,( all lights, blinkers, key buzzer, tachometer, and gauges all work & horn)with the exception of the backup lights. Does not run hot, w/4 core dessert cooler radiator. I drive carlong distance in 90 degree weather,to shows all over Ohio, Pontiac Nationals and such,withno problems. Drivetrain has almost7,000 miles on rebuild, so its just broke in, with oil & filter changed every 500 miles. Drive as is or easy restor, as no rust repair, or drivetrain neede, so consider saving a lot ofmoney there.Car still has Lacquer Paint on it, all checked and cracked, andpresents well. Theramair decals were on it when I bought it. It as not a Ram Air car. although Warparth Pontiac makes the best Upper& lower air cleaner parts, to convert car over correctly. I have both stylesof hood scoops, the burgundy paintedfactoryhood scoops,and open Ram Air scoops,that will gowith car.In the past 8 years have only seen a few convertibles in this color combination.This GTO is well worth a concourse restoration.Only reason for selling is my daughter wants a automatic car. A 72WW5 or a 68 Ram Air II automaticGTOwould fit the bill. I Reserve to End Auction Early, as Car is For Sale Locally. Questions Please Email Thanks
