It’s hard to find something to hate on the 1969 Pontiac GTO, and the whole thing is even harder when the model in question is a beautiful example that’s been sitting in a garage for years.
This seems to be the case with this 1969 GTO, which the owner says is a barn find that has recently been discovered in storage. It’s been sitting here since 2001, they claim on Craigslist, and it still comes with the original documentation, such as the bill of sale and the owner’s manual.

This 1969 Pontiac GTO looks absolutely impressive, though, on the other hand, this doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a perfect 10.

The paint, for instance, despite being believed to be the original one, still appears to be a little faded, but this should be rather easy to fix by someone with enough experience in the restoration business.

The GTO left the factory as a high-optioned configuration, and the documents do confirm it was born with air conditioning, power steering, and power front disc brakes.

Now let’s move to what’s under the hood. This Pontiac GTO is powered by a 400 (6.5-liter) paired with a Turbo-Hydramatic 400 transmission. Unfortunately, we don’t know if the engine is still running, but considering the overall condition of this GTO, there’s a really good chance it does.

The mileage is impressive, to say the least, and it suggests the car has been sitting a lot since it rolled off the assembly lines. The odometer indicates just a little over 29,000 miles (close to 47,000 km).

The VIN decodes to a 1969 Pontiac GTO 2-door coupe built at the Freemont plant.

This GTO won’t sell for beer money, that’s for sure, as the seller isn’t willing to let it go for less than $50,000. You can admire this beautiful GTO in person in San Francisco.
