Obviously by the dust that it has been sitting awhile. I wonder if the engine is froze up. The biggest ouch will be to the wallet of whomever breaks down and buys it! :eek:

I saw this car as well in my search. Even if it is numbers matching underneath, you've got to think some of those would be lost in a restoration.

I have to wonder what goes through a person's mind, when they ask that much for a car that is obviously not worth it. Do they just not want to sell it? Are they delusional? Or are they gambling on the old addage about a sucker being born every minute?

Banshee,

I miss seeing your beautiful blue 68 in your sig. It was one of the nicest sigs on the forum. Not to take away anything from your fine GTO!

You know... I went to change back the pic and all my Vette photos are no longer in my forum file manager. I'll see if I have them on a personal computer.

So, now that we've all said OUCH, what would you really pay for this, assuming it still has a solid frame, which I doubt.

If I had a use for it I'd pay 3K. I don't so it's not worth 2 cents.

Couple grand, tops. 63banshee, I had a red '64 A/T GTO (4 barrel) like that! Sure was fun. Just last night one of my co-workers at Sears Point drove in his '65 ram air tri-power. The thing even has factory A/C! I took some pictures if your interested.

You bet! Send them to sr_net_eng@hotmail.com

Thanks!

Oh, the white one isn't mine. This pic of my Goat was taken about 3 years before I owned it and that guy had the pair. Interesting note, My Goat was the first car to ever be presented in the Car Craft Muscle Car Classics Series.
