From a sales perspective, 1971 was a horrible year for the GTO, as Pontiac's muscle superstar collapsed to just 10,532 units. The hardtop continued to dominate the sales with 9,497 units, while the convertible accounted for 661 units.
1971 was the last year when the Judge was available, but just like the rest of the lineup, it recorded limited success. Pontiac produced only 357 hardtops and 17 convertibles – a Judge convertible is therefore very desirable, though it's unclear how many are still around today.
A rough 1971 Pontiac GTO that has clearly been sitting for a long time is now hoping to impress someone online, as its only option is a complete restoration.
eBay seller fmequipment13 doesn't provide too many specifics about their GTO, but the vehicle is rough, with a lot of rust and missing parts. However, the most important thing missing is the drivetrain, as the car no longer has an engine and a transmission.
The top engine for the 1971 GTO was the 455 HO, which could be gad with a 3-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed automatic was available as an option. If you'd like to restore this GTO, going for this massive big block is the best choice, as it turns the car into a small rocket on wheels.
The 1971 GTO doesn't answer many questions, so, for example, it's unclear how it ended up under the clear sky. Most likely, it also served as a donor for other GTOs, so many parts are already missing. The owner says that what you see is what you get, so no extra goodies come with this GTO.
You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out that restoring this GTO isn't going to be easy. The car comes in a very rough shape, as the rust has already invaded almost every metal panel, mainly because it's been sitting outside. The good news is that many essential interior parts are still in place, including the seats, the dash, and the steering wheel. It doesn't mean they come in tip-top shape, but they're still there and could help you with a restoration.
The GTO is this close to becoming a rust bucket, so it can't carry a significant price tag. It's available for only a few hundred dollars, with the bidding only reaching $200 by the time this story went live. The owner says they want the car gone, so it comes without a reserve, which means that whoever sends the top bid will take the GTO gone. If you want to see it in person, you'll have to go to Gladstone, Michigan, and if you're committed to a purchase, make sure you also bring your trailer. There's no way you can get this GTO on its wheels.
