A guy I work with has been given the go-ahead from his wife to buy an old car. His first choice is a 70 GTO, and his budget is up to 15,000. Anything out there?
There's a nice laquer blue 72 GTO 400 4 Speed down the street from me owned by Gerry Anderson. Contact Carl @ (905) 788 3934 for contact info he also has a 72 SS LS5 M22 chevelle I'm told could be bought
Imran Chaudary in Wainfleet has a major project Ram Air 4 70 GT0 that can be bought

Yeah, I know, that's why it's got to be an incomplete car/project. I've tried to convince him to raise his budget and buy a complete car because he's not a mechanic by any means, and he's not really knowledgeable at all on these.
I think if you shop wisely, and be patient you will find a decent driver for $15,000. It will be a car with needs, but not a basket case or incomplete. There was one on Toronto kijiji last fall for under $20k that was a decent car. Post a wanted ad on kijiji is a good start. There is not a lot of cash buyers for old undriven cars right now, so it's a buyer's market.
I agree with Earl-I think a driver can be had for 15 especially in the states
a friend recently bought this nicely restored one for far less than I would have expected
there was a similiar orbit orange 70 for sale in Northern Manitoba last year, awesome car,, but it was not born a 242 car.... the owner still was askng GTO money though..

this is a 242 car from California but bought in the central U.S. this year-sweet car
There was a silver conv't with red interior GTO for sale around Vancouver area last year. It was for sale forever. It was about a '69 I think. Lots of miles on it, if I remember correctly. I think it started around 20 something and after lots of months it dropped to 18. I can't recall whether it went down less than that though. I just remember that it was for sale forever.........good luck.

The car is complete and is solid as I was going to do a body-off resto.(which I can do for you) I have the GTO tags and ownership also. The basic 400/350HP Pontiac engine is apart for rebuild. I have all parts, crank and correct YS standard block, new pistons,rebuilt #13 Ram-air heads with auto T400 transmission. Other engine options available. 2nd picture is what it would be finished.Choice of finishes available too.Base car as is starting from $6500 up.Restoration services@ $70/hr + parts.AWARD winning Builder.

Arizona car originally built in California comes with a running 455 Auto (on the column). Interior needs to be re-done. Currently in storage. No trades please. I can deliver to your house.
Thanks guys for all the tips, I've passed most of them on to the "buyer".
He hasn't even acknowledged receiving them , so I'm not wasting any more time on this until he shows that he's REALLY interested and not just running off at the mouth.
