Most people who walked into a Pontiac dealership 57 years ago to order a GTO ended up ordering the hardtop. This version dominated sales in 1967 with over 65,000 units, while the convertible was far in the runner-up place with approximately 9,500 units.
As most people keeping an eye on everything GTO already knows, finding a 1967 goat project is easy, albeit their condition is often challenging.
eBay seller druk_auto_sales has recently posted a 1967 GTO that needs only minor TLC before returning to the road in tip-top shape. Unfortunately, it's not a GTO aimed at people specifically interested in an all-original setup, but it's still an intriguing example worth attending car shows.
I'll start with the most important part and tell you that the paint is original. It shows its age when you get closer, with some chips and rust spots visible from certain angles. However, this GTO is far from becoming a rust bucket, and considering it still wears the original finish sprayed by Pontiac, it survived the test of time with flying colors.
The car sports a YS block – a 400 four-barrel V8 that still starts, runs, and drives properly. Everything on this GTO is in working shape, with the factory radio still in the car but joined by aftermarket gauges for temperature and oil pressure. The interior looks good, but it's unclear if it's still original.
The trunk and the engine compartment are clean, with no sign of rust.
A 1967 GTO in such a great shape is typically a desirable classic, but as a petrolhead in love with all-original setups, I hate that this GTO lost the magic it was born with. Bringing it to the road in tip-top shape won't be difficult, so the car still has a lot of potential to become a genuine head-turning machine.
The factory surprises, including the paint, the radio, and the chrome, fuel this GTO's je ne sais quoi, with the period-correct YS block in charge of putting the wheels in motion without any work required under the hood.
The battle for this GTO is underway, but as anyone would expect, the car won't sell for beer money. It's a mostly-original GTO, after all, so the Buy It Now price of $39K shouldn't be surprising – this is the price you must pay if you want to take this GTO home without a fight. Otherwise, you'll have to race against strangers online, with eight bids already recorded in the last couple of days.
The top offer is $28,000, but it couldn't unlock the reserve yet. The bidding will end in approximately four days, and if you want to see this GTO in person, you must travel to Ramsey, Minnesota, approximately 30 minutes from Minneapolis.
