Well I bought another G/P
 

This time it's a 69 model J,near mint Black Comfortweave interior [ dash,console and door panels are still soft] and Vinyl top, White exterior, Hubcaps, 400, Th400, 82+ K on the clock, Engine doesn't turn for whatever reason. Parked in 1977. Over all a solid body, THis thing's extremely original. It needs paint and whatever mechanical. Options look to be A/C tilt, P/S ,P/B Vinyl roof.Protecto plate and owner's manual still in the console.Jack and spare are still in the trunk.

Overall a solid body, minor issues at the base of one 1/4, trunk lid has a hole in the lh side, right door has a fairly large dent in it that extends in the the front of the rh 1/4.

Pics to come when I get time.

Probably going to try and move the 65 GTO project and replace it with this car.


Mike

nice find,are you going to restore it? i was up in new hampshire last week and found a 70 gp all original with a 455 i am in the process now of getting it trailored home to rhode island

I'll get it running first and then evaluate what the plans are. It'll not go to over restored concours condition because that's not what I buy cars for. I like the way they came from the factory and finshes /gaps ect weren't perfect then.

This one'll probably end up as a nice driver and will probably end up driven long before it's nice!

Sounds decent! :)

Sounds like a nice original car. When you check the engine to determine why it's not running I would check to see if the rotor turns.. timing chain might be gone.

The story, from what I understand, the guy rubbed the garage while parking the car, got it in it's spot and was disgusted and left it sit for 32 yrs in that spot.

It may be pistons stuck or a water pump. SUPPOSEDLY it ran when parked.

I''ll post updates when I get there.

Mike

Good time capsule... feels good when you bring one back to life. I'll be anxiously waiting for pics, sounds like the one I picked up, white with blue gut, it sat for 23 years.

Pics per request

second set

3rd set

Man... maybe if you cut that A/C belt off she'll turn over:idea:, known for bad pulley bearings. I got a kick out of the spring battery clamp, didn't know '69's had em.

Mike I just picked up a 69 SJ .i will be selling for parts or as roller if you need some stuff

Fourth set

Bob, Possibly a couple body parts if the price is right and they're not worse than what I have.

This car looks better in person than it does in photos. This is as delivered condition. I've not done anything to it short of pull several maps out of the Console, a few reciepts for work at a K-mart auto center, and a set of funky floor mats that weren't GM.

Is anyone familiar with the ignition amplifier pictured?

This car's just like a I like them, low option.

It's well on it's way to winning Jen over also. She took a long look at it tonight and it's growing on her.

It had two, the positive grew fast to the battery. I may break my hard /fast rule and actually put them back on it. This one's good enough to make me think of doing that.

When I get a minute I'll put a breaker bar on it and see if it'll roll. I don't know if I can be that lucky twice in a row!

Mike

Man that's a car you can give a good cleaning and get running and drive it while you restore it. I like it!

I thought I was the only person left that had some of those Capacitive Discharge units.
Let me know if you need schematics.
Nice car Mike.
Charles

Nice score.
How many drivers does that make now.
9?

Jen wrecked her Olds so this one just kept the number count @ an even keel!

MIke

If you've got them I'd appreciate a copy just in case!
