While this real barn find 1964 Pontiac GTO convertible (with PHS documentation) may look a little scruffy around the edges, I think you’ll be surprised how good this car looks under the dirt and dust, especially when you consider the parts it comes with. The seller has listed it here on eBay at no reserve with a $5,000 opening bid. I’m not sure where the barn is that it came out of, but the car is currently located in Scottsville, New York. Who knew that our Scotty G. owned a whole town? (just kidding).

We are led to believe from the pictures that this car came out of this barn. The seller tells us that they purchased it, presumably recently, from the folks that purchased it 15 years ago from the estate of the original owner. As it turns out, the car has actually been in storage since 1976, so that’s 40 years of slumber, not 15 you’ll be working from.

As you can see from this shot, the underside of the car isn’t awful. However, there’s even better news there, just read on. I do hope the driveshaft is included somewhere, though!

Of course, after this much time the interior will need to be refurbished. But you can get a kit for $312 plus shipping for the front buckets. Of course, that’s just a start. Then there’s the rear seat for another $180, and all the rest of the stuff that you’ll need.

This is the original 389 engine. We don’t know what level of performance it is, but even when I put the lowest 389 into a price guide, I came out with a low retail of over $35,000, and a high retail at almost $120,000. So you have some room to rebuild the engine without going into the hole. Of course, you’ll have a lot of other things to do as well!

Here’s the neat bonus parts: the previous owner had already purchased rust free doors and front fenders, as well as reproduction floor pans and a trunk floor. And weatherstripping! So part of your hardest work is done. Now get to purchasing this great project and stop me thinking about how much I’d like an American convertible to cruise in with my family!
