The seller tells us that this 1969 Pontiac GTO has been sitting in a Los Angeles backyard since 1988. It’s now for sale here on eBay, with bidding only at $3,550 as I write with no reserve. Thanks to reader Candice for this find and for telling us that she loves Barnfinds.com!
The seller tells us that the car took a good hit to the passenger side but everything is ok; the other non-original panel is the driver’s side front fender. You might want to take a closer look, but remember that this car is reasonably priced, has mostly original equipment and is being sold with no reserve.
It is nice to see only limited surface rust around the back window because that can be a difficult area to repair. There’s a video of the car in the auction listing that will give you more information as well.
I was actually pleasantly surprised that the interior looks as good as it does. Unfortunately, it’s not good enough for a restored car — which begs the question, would you leave these original components and refurbish them as much as possible, or would you go whole hog and replace it all with brand new reproduction components?
The engine is a rare Ram Air optional unit but this isn’t the desired Judge version. It does, however, have some air conditioning components and a PHS verifed build sheet. That way you know exactly what you should have. Is this yard find worth your consideration? If you bought it, which direction would you go? Let us know in the comments!
