707 nice Goat!
this is what i got off the pontiac forum. I havent owned a GTO but i think this covers all the issues (i heard that wire harness is a big one shorting out something so take a look should be easy to see):
Most common issues with less miles:
Wire harness can rub on metal support behind glove box. Do a search for more information.
Fuel line could rub on fuel rail cover near drivers rear of engine. Will burn car to the ground if it does rub a hole in the line.
Radius Rod bushings should be replaced as OEM bushing were not the best.
Radiator tank will leak at some time
Battery drain issues if car is stored for 2-3 weeks without running.
Rear spring sag causing improper tire wear.
Strut rub causing improper tire wear.
Leather on top of rear seats gets hard if not treated, seams will split or seperate.
Steering wheel spokes will delaminate and look bad.
Head Liner could sag if its a southern state car

With just over a week owned, I took it to the strip. Managed to get absolutely zero traction because it was probably 40 degrees out. Man, gotta love New England. Couldn't hook worth a damn, but it sets me on the absolute need to monkey with the suspension and get that all squared up first and foremost.
