Vintage 2 page magazine ad featuring a green 1969 GTO convertible and a 1969 Firebird 400 sent in by John Greco. This ad is from the October 25, 1968 issue of Life Magazine. The copy under the GTO reads, "Dull driving can get to be a habit. Now - aren't you ready to break away?"CLICK-> 
  
Mmmm! Babes with muscle cars! This little image came from the web site of a Canada company that handles 60's & 70's GM Muscle Cars, Parts, Sales, Service and Restoration. Look them up in Ontario at 4256 Chesswood Drive, Downsview, Ontario, Canada. There's a blue 1969 GTO convertible in there somewhere.CLICK-> 
This red 1969 GTO convertible picture is from James Chaney from Somerset, Kentucky. This car was bought new at Charlie Bell Pontiac in Somerset, Kentucky. The car was found in a barn in 1999 when a bypass was being built. It had been stored there since 1974. He bought it for $4000. It is being restored. A license plate will go on the front that reads DEBBIE'S NIGHTMARE. Debbie is his wife.CLICK->

James sent in these updated pictures of his Matador Red 1969 GTO convertible. This is after the restoration.CLICK-> 
The top is up on this Matator Red 1969 GTO convertible, right front view. For 1969, the fender badge was changed to the letters "GTO" riding on a chrome bar. This car has no hideaway headlamps. Some owners preferred not to get the option. They sure saved themselves the maintenance headaches! The cars with the hidden headlight doors often required repairs.CLICK-> 
Matador Red 1969 GTO convertible, interior view. The fuzzy dice hang from the mirror. Automatic transmission. It is rumored that you can fit a hidden CD changer inside the center console compartment. That is the thing between the seats with a flip-up lid on it.CLICK-> 
Matador Red 1969 GTO convertible, engine view. As evidenced by the words on the air cleaner lid, the car has a 400 engine with a 4 barrel carburetor. On the right, you can view the master brake cylinder with the power brake option. There is no air conditioning on this car.CLICK->

This is a 1969 Custom S convertible from Tom Marshall. It resides in Pennsylvania. The Custom S cars had badging on the front portion of the fender. In the grille, it says "PONTIAC". The owner has added a GTO hood to this car. ...looks great with the hood scoops instead of the flat hood that originally came with the car.CLICK-> 
Rear view of a green 1969 GTO convertible. Check out the exhaust tips, both are on the left side. Over the years, many cars got non-original exhaust components added. The most common thing that will happen to a stock car with stock exhaust tips is "removal". The stainless tips get discarded when the original exhaust pipes wear out. Then a shop will just "turn down" the ends of the pipes. But these days, reproduction exhaust tips are available from restoration parts vendors. That makes it much easier to put a car back to stock-looking configuration. ...including the original-style stainless exhaust tips. It's owned by Jerry VanSteenburg who wrote in with this comment, "This picture was taken just prior to my purchasing this vehicle. I purchased it in April 2000. I have done some minor restoration and I did replace the exhaust and have the original-style chrome exhaust tips. This is a great car and a GRRRRREAT GTO!!!!!! This car spent the first 25 years of it's life in California"CLICK->

Here's an orange "basket case" 1969 GTO convertible owned by Richard Vynalek. Richard had this to say about about his car, "I started my quest for my dream car (69 GTO conv. w/air) about 3 years ago with the purchase of this car. I picked it up from a guy who had this thing stored in his mother's attached single car garage (she wasn't too happy about it). As you can see, this goat has had a hard life. It came off the assembly line Verdoro Green with a gold top and interior (the guy sent for PHS documentation) and was bought from a central Florida dealer. In the late 70's, it changed hands and was driven to New England where it got a sloppy Matador Red paint job. Then sometime in the 80's it was acquired by some delinquent who painted it bright orange (as shown in the picture). Apparently the kid went out drinking every night and proceeded to smash into various large objects on his way home. The rear bumper got hooked on a guard rail and was torn off. Both rear quarters are completely smashed in (and rusted beyond recognition). Both front fenders have battle damage, and the Endura got quite a work out. He must have also forgot about that little thing called oil, because sitting in the engine bay is some crappy 350 that came out of a LeMans. To make a long story short, the guy finally figured out that he was in way over his head and I picked the car up for use as a donor. It has among other things two good doors (don't know how that happened), a decent trunk lid, two sets of hidaways, and nice hood with original hood tach. The guy also bought a new top (still in box) new rear glass, and complete weather strip. kit. Paid $500 bucks. I am still in the hunt for a solid car to accept what parts are still salvageable from this car. Solid 69 convs. w/air under 15 grand are becoming increasingly hard to find in New England. The search continues.... " |
