The car runs and drives well and has been driven to shows and events without issue. The new tires and suspension components make it a pure joy to drive. In my opinion this car is way too original and unique to clone into a GTO however, I do have an endura front bumper with the hide away headlight setup available that is NOT included in the sale price.

The vehicle will be sold on a clean New York State transferrable registration in the current owners name (note that NYS does not issue titles for vehicles older than 1973). I am not a dealer but have bought and sold several collector cars at great distances and therefore I have gone to great lengths to describe this vehicle’s condition as accurately and completely as possible. I am happy to work with any legitimate shipping company at the buyers expense.
The vehicle is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early if my asking price is met.
