Overview
The car is a 1969 Pontiac GTO convertible. Let’s set the record straight from the beginning. This is NOT a restoration. This car has never been restored. It has been periodically maintained and upgraded over the years. I am the third owner and have owned the car since late 2006. The previous owner purchased the car when it was in the body shop being painted in 1981. This paint still survives today. Make no mistake, there are several flaws as one would expect with a 32 year old paint job. That being said the car was awarded a second place in class at the only GTO show I have ever entered. The bulk of the interior is original and still shows well today. I know that sections of the floor pan have been replaced. You will see evidence in the photos. Overall the car is a very good driver and presents very well. I would not hesitate to drive the car cross country. I have achieved 23 mpg at 70mph so far and the tuning has not been fully optimized.
Though not in the car right now, I will also include all of the original numbers matching drive train components as well as all of the parts I have updated. It started life as a 400 2 barrel automatic transmission with open rear differential.
Drivetrain
The current engine in the car is a 2003 LQ4 6.0 litre with a Magnacharger . 2005 4L60E transmission.
The rear end is from a 1970 Judge. It is an 8.2 10 bolt limited slip with 3:55 gears.

The bad news
As I have stated this is not a restoration. The car does have its flaws. As any 44 year old car will. The most noticeable is the bubbling in the drivers quarter between the door and the rear wheel opening. I would replace both sides with patch panels. There is also a very shallow crease on the passenger side from the middle of the rear wheel arch forward almost to the door opening. It is so shallow that most people do not see it until I point it out. There is some paint cracking in the front endure bumper. The only real flaw in the interior is on the top of the rear seat at the stitching. It is beginning to separate. I am including a replacement seat back cover. The carpet could stand to be replaced.

We are moving into a new house and I will not have the garage space I am used to. I am interested in partial trades for a C5, C6 Corvette, 00-02 Trans Am, Porsche 911, BMW M3, or something similar. I will also consider a sport touring motorcycle such as a BMW K1200GT.
