Pontiac produced over 80,000 GTOs for the model year 1967, and it goes without saying the car was available in a wide array of colors, some more common than others.
But when it comes to rare options, Plum Mist is believed to be one of the hardest to find these days, especially because a good number of the 1967 GTOs still around these days come in a very challenging condition.

This is exactly the case with the GTO that we have here.

Born with this rare Plum Mist finish, the car is now seeking a second chance to get back on the road. However, it’s pretty clear this GTO isn’t for the faint of heart, as the vehicle now exhibits a very challenging condition that brings it worryingly close to a rust bucket.

As if its questionable shape wasn’t already a very good reason to walk away, this GTO is also missing several important parts, including the engine and the transmission. In other words, this 1968 Pontiac GTO is now just a roller sold as a potential candidate for a restoration.

On the other hand, given no engine is now in the car, this GTO looks more like a good candidate for a restomod, especially if the buyer already has a big-block V8 laying around.

In theory, all these problems, including the rust and the missing parts, should make this GTO rather affordable. The owner apparently believes the Plum Mist paint is the special thing making the car a super-rare find, and this is why they’re not willing to sell it for cheap.

Listed on Facebook Marketplace and parked in Jonesboro, this Pontiac GTO can be yours today for $8,000. It remains to be seen if someone is willing to pay that much for such a rough roller, but for now, it’s one of the few Plum Mist GTOs you can find online.
