The GTO recorded a massive drop, with only 72K units produced this year, but certain models in its lineup continued to sell like hotcakes and make history in the United States.
The Judge was probably the most notable release of the year, but most buyers – approximately 58,000 – ordered a GTO hardtop.
The convertible was far behind with 7,328 units, becoming very desirable in the collectors' world today, especially in tip-top shape.
The 350-horsepower four-barrel engine was the most common choice, but Pontiac also offered a 265-horsepower unit with an automatic transmission that few people ordered.
The GTO in these photos still has the original 400 engine under the hood, but without a doubt, its main selling point is the chrome abundance that turns it into a mirror on wheels
The car has recently been restored, and eBay seller m.corvin says they have photos to document the work, including receipts and everything else you'd need to inspect all the repairs it received as part of the project.
I wish they included all these details in the listings, but based on the photos, it looks like the job was focused on making the GTO look as special as possible from every angle.
It doesn't mean the interior hasn't received enough attention. Everything looks spotless on this GTO, and the seller claims the car has always been stored in climate-controlled storage, so the vehicle should still be flawless today.
The seller insists on "inspecting the vehicle prior to bidding," and I agree this is mandatory, especially because you need to get more information on the restoration work.
The original 400 engine under the hood probably starts and drives properly, but without a thorough inspection, you can't even tell how much work the engine received.
A 1969 Pontiac GTO convertible is typically highly desirable, and while I'm not a big fan of so much chrome, I'm certain this specimen has already caught the attention of many wealthy collectors.
The auction site indicates that 23 people have already added the car to their watchlists, but it's unknown if anyone is involved in talks over a potential acquisition.
The GTO can be yours if you agree to pay $65,000, but the seller also enabled the Make Offer option.
This means they are willing to listen to other offers, though I doubt you'll be able to take the price significantly lower, especially considering the car has recently been restored and doesn’t need anything.
It's parked in Lafayette, Indiana, and should be able to drive anywhere on its wheels.
