Default GTO Auction, 14 months ago

This auction of a ‘65 GTO was posted here by Mr. “scuncio” on 3-21-2020 just about the time the Covid bomb was being dropped on planet earth.

I already had a nice ‘65 Survivor from New Jersey, but I was still compelled to contact the seller for more information on his NJ GTO.

I wanted a photo of the firewall “data plate” from his Baltimore built car to compare to my BAL car.
The photo he sent me was terrible, but I could still decipher it.

His plate says W6 (Bluemist Slate with Black Cordova Top).
His Car Billing History card says W2A.

My plate says Y6 (Mayfair Maize with Black Cordova Top).
My Car Billing History card says Y2A.

Confirmation that the Baltimore plant designated “6” for Black, but Pontiac used the number “2” for Black.

Several similarities between these two cars besides the N.J. and BAL Built.

Factory paint and pinstripes.
Same factory Powertrain, 389 4BBL. Automatic
Wood steering wheel.
Padded dash.
Console.
Power Antenna.
Back up Lamps
Seat Belt Delete.
Optional 1’’ White Wall tires.

His ‘65 had 39,850
My car had 43,440

His Original Owner passed in 2016.
My Original Owner passed in late 2014.

This car has a lot of potential in the right hands.
Most everything incorrect can be resolved.

Hi bergy”

There are two “cowl tags” in this thread.

The W6 looks to be untouched.

The Y6 is definitely untouched.

I have several other BAL built Survivors on file that have putty pushed into the rivet heads like my Y6 car has.

1964 - 07A
1965 - 11A
1965 - 11C
1965 - 03C
1965 - 11D, KAN
1965 - 04B, KAN

On many BAL cowl tags there seems to be a small piece of paper sticking out from the RH side of the plate.

You can also see finger prints of the line worker that pushed in the putty.

Chris.

Thanks Chris - I hadn’t seen line worker fingerprints on the calk much. Didn’t think they had time or cared much about being neat. I was referring more to the flange area of the rivets. Sometimes when people remove originals, they flatten the flange & lose the double crimp when trying to re-install. Not saying that happened here necessarily, just observation for discussion :-)
