Great colors, a 400 cubic inch V8, and those three little letters make this a car with a small price that will get big attention wherever it goes. The design was all-new in 1968, so in 1969, it was freshened a bit but nothing too radical. The best thing to come out of the redesign were those hidden headlights, which were optional and completely transformed the GTO's look. Wearing code 51 Liberty Blue, which is this car's original color, this GTO has a more mature, sophisticated look than its brother the Judge, who can usually be seen in bright orange duds. It was repainted a few years ago and still looks good, but a professional buff would really make this car shine. Hood scoops and an Endura front bumper make this car easy to recognize from the front, and aside from a few bumps and bruises, it's in very good shape overall. The code 257 Ivory interior is what Pontiac fans usually call Parchment, and it's a great choice with the dark blue paint. We're pretty sure it's original, so it's not perfect, but it's much too nice to replace and has a comfortable look that's more inviting than some repro parts would be. Besides, reproduction parts wouldn't have the same detail and crisp pleats that the factory stuff does. The original three-spoke steering wheel will look familiar to GTO fans and a center console is pretty much a mandatory option on something this sporting. Gauges cover only the basics, but the three round pods look suitably racy and it's original enough that even the factory AM radio is still in the dash, although an AM/FM/CD stereo has been stashed out of sight. Other options include factory A/C (needs to be serviced) and a heavy-duty TH400 3-speed automatic transmission. There's also a bright white power convertible top and a neatly finished trunk with a full-sized spare on board. We're inclined to believe the YS-coded 400 cubic inch V8 is the original, numbers-matching engine, but we can't verify the numbers beyond knowing that the date code is correct. It starts easily and has a very healthy sound that's matched by a huge swell of torque at just about any speed. The engine bay is in good order, with a factory twin-snorkel air cleaner, fresh hoses, and options like power steering and brakes. It's been enhanced with an Edelbrock aluminum intake manifold under the original Quadrajet carburetor, but the modifications are minimal. The dual exhaust system sounds great but ne.
