IF YOU STILL HAVE INTEREST READ THE LISTING BELOW: I will tell

WHO YOU ARE BUYING FROM:My name is Ron Watson and I live in the small town

of Athens. Tennessee “Athens is called the friendly city”. We are located in the foothills

 of the Great Smoky Mountains in east Tennessee “I am truly qualified to be called a

Hill Billy”. I am 67 years old and work with my son Keith who is now 41. I am now retired

and living my dream restoring. selling and improving classic cars. For 12 years I was

an auto mechanics instructor at TennesseeTechnologyCenter here in Athens. I am

also a veteran of the US Army; I served as a Chinook helicopter mechanic. crew chief

and instructor in the late 60s. I did spend a year in Vietnam. I'm Southern Baptist

faith and proud to be an American. I've been married to the same good woman for

almost 44 years. LIFE IS GOOD IN THE GREEN HILLS OF EAST TENNESSEE!

Sorry. but I do not show cars on Sunday! I worship on Sunday. I spend time with my

family. I'm 67 years old and need some rest. I love cars and will help you 6 days a

week. but not on Sunday.   I will check my email a couple of times on Sunday.

Sorry. but I do not make videos!! I'm 67 years old and don't enjoy making them. nbsp;

 PLEASE come look at the car. I have sold every car I have ever put on the market

 without a video.

WILL I SELL THE CAR OFF EBAY MOTORS? Sure. I'm not crazy. I will sell to you

 direct. Come look. or if you have lots of nerve buy direct.   I know most guys use

ebay for research and don't trust buying without coming to inspect. I welcome you to

 come and look the care over.        

IS THIS A REAL GTO?  I think it is. the 42 in the VIN proves it according to

web sites I have visited.

IS THERE ANY RUST PROBLEMS?    I don't find any rust problems. the frame

 looks very solid as well as the body panels. The floors and quarter panels look

original to me. if they have been replaced they were done right. The underside is

 not beautiful. its a old car. but it looks very solid to me. You could make it look

 better if you spend a couple of days sanding. priming. scraping and painting. but

 it the underside and this is not a show car. its just a real nice car to drive.

IS THERE ANY ACCIDENT DAMAGE?None that I can find and none stated on

the title. the frame look straight to me.

WHY AM I SELLING THIS CAR?I'm a classic car restorer. but when I find a

vehicle I like and can sell for a fair market price. I buy it fix a few things

and resell.

PAINT:The paint has a very good shine. no dents. no dings. nbsp;I consider the car

 straight to look down the sides.  I do see a few specs in a couple of areas.

its not a 100 point show car. but it is very nice paint.

CHROME:      Very nice chrome. it has no dulling.

INTEROR:  No bad smells. nbsp;no wear. the headliner is very nice. the dash has

no cracks. the seat covers good. carpet and door panels look new. Past owner

 did not like head-rest and I really don't either. they are in the trunk. they

 have new covers. but the cover job was not great. The pictures show no door

 panel GTO emblems. they are now on the car. the pre punched holes are not level

to me. if I was going to keep the car for ever I would redo them. The rear seat

 belts are a little rusty on the chrome ends.

UNSERSIDE: 

 It is good. but not detailed real beautiful. The floors look original to me. the frame good. /strong>

 it does have light under coating and not sanded smooth and painted shinny.

GLASS:  The glass is good and the windows roll up and down good. the windshield

 clear with no bad wiper marks. the rubber weather stripping all looks good. the

 back window has some very minor scuffs.

ENGINE:The engine runs good. it has a Rochester 4 barrel carburetor. no knocks.

 no rattles. no blue smoke. I will not guarantee you it want leave a drop of oil. its

a old car. but I consider it dry. Past owner said it was the original 400. I will not 

guarantee you the engine is a 400. On the front of the block on the passengers side

the numbers have a Y4. this indicates a 455. On the bottom I see a 400 on the front 

drivers side. I posted pictures of this. make your own decision and do your research.  

Both engines look the same. so it hard to tell with numbers. All I can say is that its a 

good engine that has been rebuilt. it runs good.  The chrome valve covers are a little

dull in areas. the dual snorkel air cleaner is better than the pictures show. the

chrome on it is very presentable.

EXHAUST SYSTEM:  Goof system with the dual rear tips. stock manifolds.

TRANSMISSION: 

Turbo 400 that shifts good with no slip. this is a 3 speed automatic. The shifter

 push button works. but you have to give it a positive push.

REAR-END:

No whines or growls. its a good highway gearing. It is positive traction and when I

checked the ratio by marking the wheels and drive shaft it checked 3. 31 to 1.

BRAKES:

 Disc in front and drums in rear. they are power assisted.

STEERING: The steering is good. the car is power steering.

WHEELS AND TIRES : Pontiac Rally wheels. they are 14 inch and look nice. The

tires are Goodyear Wing Foot and good. I can feel a very amount of tire in the wheel.

its not bad and I think from setting around. even radials get a little out of round

when they set. are at least some do. I'm being picky on the tires.

LIGHTS and wiring:The head lights work. the tail lights work. the brake lights work.

the turn signals work. the dome light is not working.

THE GAS GAUGE WORKS! SPEEDMETER WORKS! Horn works. but is weak!

 Wipers work! 

.

GUAGES:The gas gauge works. the heat. temp and oil work.

RAOIO: No radio. the dash has not been cut. Past owner was going to put one of

 the Custom Audio systems in.

NOTE about the air conditioning: This was a factory air conditioned car. Past owner

 was going to put a Vintage Air system on so he left the engine stuff off. I have

 the old compressor (locked up) and the brackets that all come with the car. If I

had time I would either rebuild the old system or put a modern system on. I

personally like the modern system. One piece of plastic duct is missing under the dash.

but the fan blows.

HOW DO THE PANELS FIT? The fixed body panels fit very good. the trunk is up

just a very little because of new tight rubber. the doors close good and fit about

the way they did when the car was born. the hood is up a little on the back

passengers corner.

HOW DO THE DOORS AND HOOD OPEN AND CLOSE?They open and close good.

WHY DON'T I FIX EVERYTHING? 2 reasons. time and money. I have too many

 projects started and don't have the time. The car is nice the way it is!

TRADES:

 Please no trades. they never work out and are just too hard!

CONTACT INFO: my cell telephone number is 423-506-8987. I do not answer

when driving. while meeting with people. after about 8:00 PM Eastern Time.  

Please leave a voice mail and I'll get back. I do check my emails several times a day.

PAPERWORK: I know what to do! We are just a father/son 2 man operation. but we

 are a Tennessee licensed/bonded car dealer and have sold cars all over the US and

 exported many.

THIS IS NOT AN AUCTION. THIS IS A FIXED PRICE LISTING: I reserve the

 right to stop the listing at any time and sale the car “come look”.

I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO STOP THE LISTING AT ANY TIME.

THE CAR IS FOR SALE ON THE LOCAL MARKET.

WHERE THE CAR IS LOCATED:The car is here at my garage in Athens. Tennessee.

Athens is in east Tennessee. we are 50 miles south of Knoxville and 50 miles north

ofChattanooga. Look at a Road Atlas and follow interstate 75 south from Knoxville.

 I live one mile and one turn from the interstate exit. My zip code is 37303.

The closest large airport is Knoxville. Athens does have a good small airport.

but has no commercial flights.

US OR EXPORT “I like Nations Auto Transport. They are located in Kansas City.

Contact: Jim Page his office number is 816-295-6887 and his email is

 jpage@shipnat. com

MY AREA CODE FOR TRANSPORT: The area code for Athens. Tennessee is 37303.

 I live 1 mile off a major interstate (I-75) and 35 miles south of interstate 40. span >

so transport is usually very fast.

PAYMENT: I require a $250 deposit for a Buy Now or to hold the car.

I will take paypal for the deposit. but not for full payment. it cost too much.

Option 1: Pay the old school way face to face.

Option 2: Pay by check. I will wait till the check clears. I have had

a fake bank certified check.

Option 3: The safest is to let our banks handle it. my bank is a

member of the US Federal Reserve. this is called wire

transfer. And its safe for both of us.

WILL I HOLD THE CAR UNTIL YOU GET HERE TO LOOK OR HAVE IT INSPECTED?

 Sorry. but not without a $250 non-refundable deposit! I have held too many cars

that people promise me they are going to buyand they never show up. their wife

won't let them buy it. they can't get a loan or they just back out. Before you drive

 or fly a long distance you need to make sure the car is not sold.  

INSPECTIONS: Please come look and be happy.

 All inspections are required to be done before the end of the listing. I listed this

 car as I see it as a 67 year old car restorer. please come and judge it for your self.

I judge the car to my standards. this may not be yours. Paid inspectors are unpredictable.

 you might get a good one. nbsp;they can make a good car sound bad on the report. They

 have to be very critical to cover their back sides and all their concerned about is getting

 paid. I understand how hard it is to buy a car without looking. but I think you should

 come look yourself. I don't like paidinspectors. I like for the person that is buying to

 inspect for themselves. I think its fine to send a friend to inspect for you.

To make it clear. don't hit the buy now button and then inspect. come inspect first!

If you are not registered with ebay motors. I will work with you.

 "YOU CAN BUY DIRECT".

BOTTOM LINE: My make offer price is $22. 00. My firm price is $19. 99 I'm asking more on the local market.

The game is not rocket science. ask a price and come down.

WILL BE VERY HAPPY TO SELL YOU THE VEHICLE WITH-OUT AN INSPECTION;

YOU JUST HAVE TO HAVE A LOT OF NERVE AND PLEASE DON'T BE A CRY BABY.

Read the ME section on the upper right hand part of the listing marked seller info.

Thank You.

 I'm real. they will not guarantee the car.
