Inherited 1970 Pontiac GTO project
So.. hello everyone! I'm here for guidance so I can't wait to hear everyones input!!
My grandfather bought a GTO in 70'… then my dad bought it off him when he turned 18 to take my mom to prom in!
So as life goes… fast forward to 2017, my dad just had a heart attack and passed away about 3 months ago and this beast is
going into my name. He hasn't driven it or even turned it on in probably 10 years… but my short term goal is to get it running and maybe
do a few car shows in the fall with it, and since i do custom metal etching, a sign telling his story and the life thus far of this badass muscle car.
I have a friend of his who's a mechanic that's mentioned he could help but i'm sure there are things I can get started on, just me and a wrench.
I've been working on supped up mini coopers for about 5 years so i'm excited about restoring some american muscle!
I'll post pics later tonight of where its at but it's in great shape…. and only 42k miles. Garage kept all its life… etc. Just needs all new rubber i'm betting? haha
So what would be the first steps? siphon gas and get a new tank or just siphon and fuel lines first? Pleaseeeeee help!
Also looking OF COURSE to go with a MUCH larger wheel and tire / suspension for this beast. ;)
