* Condition: A concours-quality, perfectly restored GTO will be worth significantly more than a driver-quality car, or one needing restoration. Rust, damage, and originality all play a huge role.
* Options: Rare options, like specific engine configurations (Ram Air, etc.), transmissions, interiors, and exterior colors, dramatically impact value.
* Mileage: Lower mileage generally commands a higher price.
* Documentation: Original paperwork, including the Protect-O-Plate, adds substantial value.
Because of this variability, it's impossible to give a single price. You could see prices ranging from tens of thousands of dollars for a very rough project car to well over $100,000 for a top-condition, highly optioned example.
To get a more accurate estimate, you should:
* Check online classic car valuation sites: Hagerty, ClassicCars.com, and others provide valuations based on condition and options. You'll need to input the specifics of the GTO in question.
* Look at recent auction results: Sites like Bring a Trailer show actual selling prices of recently sold GTOs. This gives a better sense of the current market.
* Consult with a classic car appraiser: For a precise valuation, especially if you're considering selling or insuring a high-value car, a professional appraisal is recommended.
