Buyer Checklist
⚠ Clone warning: The 242 VIN proves a GTO, but not the engine — HO and Ram Air claims need PHS paperwork. Always verify with cowl tag, engine stamp, and registry before purchase.
✓VIN must start 242 — that makes it a real GTO
✓Order PHS documents to confirm HO or Ram Air
✓Check the block engine code and date code
✓Inspect floors, trunk, lower quarters and rear window channel for rust
✓Check the frame and rear crossmember
✓Automatics: confirm the Hurst Dual-Gate shifter is present and working
✓Look for 1966 parts mixed in — the grille and taillights differ
✓Decode the data plate for paint and trim
