Running Ragtop: 1967 Pontiac GTO Convertible

Disclosure: This site may receive compensation from some link clicks and purchases.

After examining the photos and reading what the seller has to say about this 1967 Pontiac GTO, I’m thinking this Goat is probably best categorized as a stalled project, yet one that seems like it’s at a very good point for someone else to take over.  The owner’s description of this being a nice example that will require further attention sounds like a reasonable assessment, so if you’ve been looking for a sixties muscle car that’s already made a good head start, this 1967 Pontiac GTO here on eBay might be a fine candidate.  Being a convertible, it will also have some extra appeal for those who enjoy open-air driving.  This one’s in Tulsa, Oklahoma, with the buy-it-now price set at $34,995, plus an additional button to make the seller an offer.

Curvette, thanks a lot for bringing this cool Pontiac to our attention!  The seller bought the GTO ten years ago, and it appears that some of the work had already been completed before his acquisition, along with several additional tasks executed during the past decade.  After the exterior trim was removed, some areas of minor rust were discovered near the lower sections of a few panels, but these have since been repaired.  The owner now believes the car is ready to head to a body shop, and hopefully, there’s not too much left to do before it’s ready for a new paint job.

By this time, the 389 had grown to 400 cubic inches and was the standard engine for the ’67 model, which is what can be found in the bay here.  It’s not confirmed to be the factory component, but the motor is stated to have been rebuilt in the past, with just 200 miles since the overhaul was completed.  Unfortunately, the carburetor didn’t receive any attention, and a small exhaust leak is present, so a little more work under the hood awaits the next owner.  The Turbo 400 has a new filter and gasket, but the owner is unsure how long ago the transmission was last completely gone through.

Much of the interior is thought to be original, including the seats and carpet, with the condition remaining decent overall, especially for a convertible.  The top is stated as going up or down ably from the switch on the dash, but it’s time for a new canvas to be installed over the existing rails.  It’s certainly a positive that this one’s had quite a bit of work already, and even better that it’s running and driving.  However, with several items still needing attention, do you think this one justifies the nearly $35k asking price?

    This car has much work to do pre paint shop.
    Drop the gas tank and weld in the trunk panels to start .. i see pans included in pictures.

    Then likely new rockers…

    Love to see underneath the floor pans and frame…

    Its a nice project but unless one puts sweat equity into it they’re underwater.

    1967 was a-good year for goats 🐐.
    I would like to see more of the firebird in
    the garage 😎
    Good luck with sale…
