Default My Unrestored Cameo Ivory ‘66 GTO
It’s been 6 years since I introduced this GTO to the The Supercar Registry with my opening story in 08-04-2019 and 34 years since I stumbled onto this neglected car in a front yard in Union City, CA

A few photos of how it looked when found in 1991.

Fortunately the owner removed many items and secured them in the trunk for safe keeping.
Unfortunately this guy started removing paint in certain areas and left it to rust as seen especially on the RR quarter panel.

I recently uncovered it for some fresh air and a brisk exercise through all 2 gears, lol.
This thing rips with three Rochester’s full throat with a 3.55 axle.

Here are some walk around photos from a few weeks ago.

Plenty of sun bake on the top side and patina throughout.
I did what I thought was necessary in 1991 to stop the rust from spreading by a primitive spray of Cameo paint.
The factory Red pinstripes are still there unblemished.

I love the Rally I wheels with their 6 flared openings.
Still retains its factory dated rear drums.

Full correct exhaust system from Gardner with my NOS resonators.

Factory trunk light.

Park lights.
Low beam.
High beam.

Pontiac Power.

That ridiculous RED.

Hope you enjoyed the walk around of an old muscle car.

I never tire of looking at your GTO's Chris.
This one needs to be at MCACN 2026 for Class of '66....OR...Vintage Certification

Thank you Bill.

I’d love to have a ‘show-and-tell’ but the transport there and back is over 4000 miles, plus the rest of overhead.
I envy you Midwest boys as the trip is very affordable.
I’ll just share from afar.

Make your selection as I’m buying.

Oh, I agree!
Unrestored cars are priceless and the knowledge they provide.

Thanks.
