'67 GTO Convertible Storage Find, 400/4-sp
 
Neat car stored since the mid 1980s. Hideous interior, possibly the worst I've seen, but fixable.

Interesting that this car was ordered with the 'quick' 20:1 steering gear.

If a bowling ball were to be an interior......

That is one short shift lever.

Ad notes Interior a late 70’s addition but pattern style similar to GM’s in house ‘67 Mod craze although looking deeper, all appears nothing other than detailed workmanship of a bygone era...:burnout:

It would be interesting if it is an old Pontiac show car as the interior reminds me of the '66/'67 Fairlane show car at MCACN in 2019. Same kind of bowling alley material but the Goat has a zany pattern and the Fairlane has metal circles.

ah yes, the good old 'burn the crap out of you' clear/metal flake seats!

I bought this car. I just received it today from the transport company. It needs a ton of work but a 67 GTO convertible 4 speed is a dream car for me. Hoping to get it driving this year if possible. Big project and I hope im up to the task :-)

Good luck with it. Just get it running and stopping well, and just drive it for now.

Congrats on the purchase. Looks like a decent price (for a change).

Congrats!! Cool car. I love my 67 GTO convertible (but mine’s got the oddball 3-sp manual).

I take it, you aren't into factory original ..LOL With that, I would consider just buying a new fuel tank, the one made in Canada, and any fuel lines it needs to provide fresh fuel. Then go thru the brakes thoroughly and, as others have said, just drive it for now. Enjoy all the gawkers at the car shows, as that interior is going to draw a crowd.

Leave the rust issues until you are ready for a BIG project.
There are plenty of people here to help and advise on having original components rebuilt, if that is a desire, or what the best replacement parts are.

Enjoy your new toy !!

Too Many Projects, you hit the nail on the head! I have already placed an order for a fuel tank, fuel line and fuel pump. Brakes will be next and the car has power disc brakes up front. It also needs a shifter handle and probably a million other things. I'm enjoying documenting everything so far. The real work will start soon.
Thanks
Mike

Factory disc brakes? If so, pretty cool.

Keep us posted! You will be cruising the local car shows soon!
Post some pics!

Can't get a clear view of them thru the spokes, but it does look like they may be the 4 piston calipers.
