GTO was driven from 1968 to 1978 then owner had passed away and wife kept GTO until she passed away 2016. Car had been sitting for 38 years. The nephew sold it to the gentlemen I purchased from in 2016. GTO was started by portable gas can and different carburetor by previous owner.GTO has loopy sound like big cam in engine. GTO was put on jack stands ran through all gears including reverse with no issues or funny noises from transmission.
By no means car is road worthy, northern car very rusty. Trunk pans, interior pans, brakes and fuel lines all need replaced. Frame is rusty but is solid.
