1969 Pontiac GTO Description
Up for auction is one of the most original and well documented Pontiac GTO's in existence. Purchased new at Martinson Motor Company in Durango, Colorado on March 12th 1969, special ordered by an Army Officer returning from Vietnam who traded in his 1965 GTO to purchase this one. He has owned it ever since, putting only 107,000 miles on it. The car is well documented, with receipts dating back over the cars life. Did you know this car had an oil change at Kearny Standard in Denver on May 23rd of 1972? Or that he got a tires installed at Sims tire and auto service on Dec 17th, 1980 for $23.50? You will get all these documents, as well as newer parts he looked at or purchased. About the car. It had sat for the last 20 years, only being started once in awhile. He kept it outside his home here in Colorado under a tarp and it was not kind to the paint. He told us about the car and asked us to help him get rid of it. We went to pick it up and he was getting ready to turn it over and I stopped him. It needed a fuel system refresh and new fluids first..and we were not even sure it would run. I took it home, replaced the fuel tank, sending unit and fuel pump, flushed the radiator, changed the oil and rebuilt the carburetor. New plugs, and it fired right up! It runs good, however, it still needs new points and wires installed...they are included. The interior is the original, untouched interior. As you can see..its amazing for its age. The dash has a crack, he had newer floor mats in it (the originals are in the trunk), and at one time...had a cb radio in it. As the pictures show...he added, for the time, an old school GPS system (the compass between the visors). It had a trailer hitch on it that I removed. The tires wouldn't hold air for long, so I put on the Torq Thrust rims with good tires. The original rims and hubcaps are included. The body on the car had its share of door dings, a dent that was professionally repaired, and scuffs and scrapes. I did not want to take all the character of the car away, however, the paint needed redone, and in the process we cleaned up the pits and scratches before applying a fresh coat of Liberty Blue paint. It shines well, needs a final buff/detail. There is a small bottle of touch up paint included to fix any blemishes, but it does look good. The car came with factory a/c, which is the only option he wanted. It still works! all the lights work, radio works (am radio), the only think not working is the fuel sending unit..we think its a bad ground. Ask yourself this...how many 1 owner factory A/C Liberty Blue GTO's with all numbers matching (400) are around anymore? This is a rare and desirable car, so please bid with assurance that you are getting one of the finest unrestored unmolested GTO's in the world. Bid with confidence. You will not be disappointed. This is a 48 year old unrestored car and is sold as-is/where-is with no warranties written or implied. Zero feedback bidders contact me prior to bidding.

The pad where the vin normally is blank, however, it may be stamped under the timing chain cover and not visible. I have seen this before. I pulled the casting number off the back of the block, and its the correct 9790071. I can assure you this motor has never been removed from the car, it is as delivered. All numbers are correct. Just wanted to clear that up. I also posted a picture of the YS code and the sequence number for the block. All correct.
