How one thing can mess up a nice car...

Ranger01 · 11-16-2008, 04:29 PM

I was scouring Ebay a few min ago, and found this:
eBay Motors: Pontiac : GTO (item 220311431299 end time Nov-19-08 18:17:31 PST)

It appears to be a clone (although I cant really tell...)

It is a really nice looking resto...BUT... The interior is down right disgusting.

Ive seen stuff like this a lot, it really disturbs me that someone would think that that color/ material looks good in a classic car...

Idk whats worse, that or what they did to the xXx '67 GTO...http://www.gtoforum.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Any of y'all seen stuff like this?

(Altho, at that price that car is looking mighty tasty...

)

It is pretty nastey but a very easy fix..Looks like a no reserve auction.....

Yea, Is that even the orig. seats? It dont look like it...(although my experience with pre-67's is non existent really). And the good thing is seat upholstery is relatively cheap, and its easy to do.

No they aren't the correct seats, but if it is a real GTO the price is tempting. My personal feeling is the Grey with Blue is OK and may look better in person. It's not an accurate resto, but I could live with it until I could change it. Find a member in the cars locale and have them look it over good for bondo. It throws flags for hidden defects...

Here's my Blue on Grey car...

I like the car color but the interior does kill the classic look of the car. Clearly, I think if any one of us owned it we would change it but I guess to each his own.

Better to see it like this then at the crusher !!!!!!

Yea, Id change it out to black, or maby blue... but Blue/Blue is kinda too much.

Thanks !! It's been a long road back for it. It should've been parted out 3 years ago when I got it but it is a rare combo customer ordered coupe, so I brought it back to life. The resale value is about 1/3rd what I have in it........

They don't have to be 40 years old to get upside down...

Anyone wanna trade for 66-67 GTO or 67 LeMans ???
