           1972 PONTIAC GTO

400 ENGINE....TURBO 400 TANSMISSION

VERY GOOD RED PAINT

 

I do not show cars on Sunday! I worship on Sunday, I spend time with my family, I'm almost 67 years old and need some rest. I love cars and will help you 6 days a week, but not on Sunday. I'm a retired auto mechanics instructor and was a helicopter mechanic and instructor in the Army in the late 60s. I will check my email a couple of times.

 

WILL I SELL THE CAR OFF EBAY MOTORS? I'm not crazy, I will sell to you direct. Come look, or if you have lots of nerve buy direct. I'll tell you what to do later in my listing. 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.       

 

TITLE: Clear  title in hand with a VIN that matches, I am a mechanic, but I have dealers license to keep things legal, title will be transferred from me as a dealer.

 

IS THIS A REAL GTO? I'm going to sell it as a replica, it could be, it has the badging, but lots of cars have been converted in years past.

 

IS THERE ANY RUST PROBLEMS?     No rust bubbles in the paint, the underside looks solid with not much under coating, both rear quarter panels have been replace, the floor look original to me.

 

IS THERE ANY ACCIDENT DAMAGE? None that I can find.

 

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 brilliant shine, no dents, no dings, the car is more than straight to look down the sides. The paint is nice and all the jambs and lips have been painted, the car was probably not original red, most red cars have been changed. A little orange peel and maybe a couple of specs in the paint, but the paint is rear good. 

 

CHROME:      Very nice chrome, the bumpers look good with no dulling or rust or peeling.

 

 

INTEROR:  The interior is OK, the seat covers good, the only wear on the seat covers is a fuzzy rope on the drivers outer edge, the door panels good, the head liner OK, the carpet has some wear, but useable, the dash pad has a bad crack in the center. 

 

UNSERSIDE: 

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

 

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

 

 

SOUND SYSTEM: Cheap after market radio.

 

 

 

ENGINE: The engine runs good, its a 6.6 V8, 400 cubic inch. It runs good, no knocks, no rattles and no blue smoke. It has a Edelbrock carburetor.

 

EXHAUST SYSTEM:  Nice sounding exhaust system, the mufflers look like Flow Master, the system is good, but not new.

TRANSMISSION: 

Turbo 400 that shifts good with no slip, this is a 3 speed automatic. It needs a dust cover.

 

REAR-END: No whines or growls, it original and has highway gearing.

 

BRAKES:

Drum brakes all around and they stop decent with power assist.

 

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

 

WHEELS AND TIRES : Pontiac Rallies with decent tires.

 

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

Interior  dome is not working and needs a lense.

 

 

THE GAS GAUGE WORKS! SPEEDMETER WORKS! Horn not working! Wipers work!  Heater blower works.

.

GUAGES: The gauges are old school and in a pod under the dash.

 

HOW DO THE DOORS AND HOOD OPEN AND CLOSE? They open and close good., these cars did not have real good opening hood and doors due to the weight.

 

HOW IS THE RUBBER WEATHER-STRIPPING? Soft and good.

 

HOW IS THE BODY PANEL FIT? I consider it good, but not show car perfect.

 

 

TRADES: Please no trades, they never work out and are just too hard!

 

The rest of the information is boring unless you are really interested in buying the vehicle, its just buying details like shipping, paperwork, who I am, where the car is located and how to pay and contact information.

 

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.

<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>I DO NOT SHOW CAR ON SUNDAY>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

 

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 of Chattanooga. 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.

 

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 Tennessee Technology Center 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 42 years. LIFE IS GOOD IN THE GREEN HILLS OF EAST TENNESSEE!

 

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, 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.

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? Not without a $250 non-refundable deposit! I have held too many cars that people promise me they are going to buy and 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. “The way I look at it is until you pay a deposit you’re just looking and dreaming”.

 

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 66 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, but some of them do not impress me at all,  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 paid inspectors, 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 firm price is $12,999 I'm asking more on the local market. The game is not rocket science, ask a price and come down. It’s not fun to bargain over the cell phone all day long with people that live 2000 miles away and are not going to buy anyway. My firm price is the Buy Now price. I have sold every car I have ever tried to, so I’m not motivated to be bargained 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,

Ron Watson cell: 423-506-8987 email: dreamcar@live.com

 

I am very careful about taking payment, I have had a fake certified check, it looked real and the buyer seemed real. I will take one, but I will check you out. I am ebay varified, that means you can buy ebays buyer protection plan and they will guarantee thats I'm real, they will not guarantee the car.
