RUSTIEST GTO Ever! ROTTED Frame! Will It Run and Drive?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 сен 2023
- This 1969 Pontiac GTO has been abandoned since the 1980s, rotted to pieces by Minnesota salt roads, but will it run and drive again? It is a very rare car sporting a de-optioned 2 barrel Pontiac 400, a column shift, bucket seats with no console, am/fm and in-dash tach but no other options.

That guy sucks
Watching niw
Now lol
How about GT Oh No !
5:40, ouch. get well soon.
The camera does not do this thing Justice... This thing was a Zombie goat
Poor thing...
Extra flexible frame, She's a factory race car.
And this is the name, I’m calling it now, zombie goat: a painful series of events 😂
@@jakegere1349 actually I think the jury is still out on that, throw some suggestions out people!
If I wanted a GTO that's about all could afford.
I died when you asked why the steering column was on fire and JD said just ignore that, he’s learning so fast 😂👏🏼👏🏼
Dude, it is fun watching the evolution of JD. That young man showed a ton of intelligence in this episode. That kid is a good egg.
Yes he is
🗿 yep 💯👍
This is the Holey Goat's long lost sibling. Seems perfectly restorable to me. its a miracle this thing even moves because holy crap😂
JD has got to be about coolest kid on the planet and know exactly what to do. Dalton you’re a blessed man.
They're the best "rustoration" team on RUclips
@@randall1959 ... great comment ...
I laughed so hard I had to change my diaper!
He got the dalton gene that’s for sure, young man knows his stuff that’s for sure, with the knowledge he has from this. It’s a trade that he will never starve !! And that is the most important in my opinion . The Holy Rollin Goat Duo!!
If you do merch, you could sell a JD shirt with:
OH,
Yeah!
JD's going to end up being an academy award winning director some day.
Let's hope he stays far away from Hollywood!

Man that kid of yours has a bright future ahead of him your a great father and America needs more fathers like you sir, I love your content and its awesome when you and Kevin upload together thank you for your time and effort man
You bet
If you ever pull a steering wheel again, here’s a free tip to prevent a free face rearrangement. Once the bolt/nut is off, wind it back on a couple of threads, then disengage the wheel. The bolt/nut should hold the wheel - hand tight should be plenty.
It's dropping more ass than a Tuesday night at a taco bar. But absolutely worth saving.
Happy to be a new member of the low buck club. 🙌
You two are a hell of team!
Thanks man, welcome aboard!
Wonder how many self tappers project this one will be
Thousands, millions?
The entire box will stay together, and yes there will be multiple boxes of self tappers used.
@@PoleBarnGarage ALL of them!
@@PoleBarnGarage prices right rules, I'll say 1 self tapper.
99 self tappers on the car, 99 self tappers..
Imagine that car pulling up to a car show
I didn't scroll thru the hundreds of comments (congrats on that!) but that GTO is pretty rare. The 2 bbl was only available in a GTO from 67 to 69 and is why it is a column shift GTO not a floor shift example. It does have some options though. The buckets are an option as well as the AM/FM radio. Also the "chicken wire" cowl grill does not specifically mean an early build car. I have a 1969 LeMans bought new by my grandfather that is heavily optioned that was built on December 22nd 1969 at the Baltimore Maryland plant and is has the exact same "chicken wire" style cowl grill. The car has 51k original miles and is completely original except the timing chain was replaced at 45k because I'm not a fan of factory nylon coated timing chains along with the water pump. The only other things that have been replaced are normal tune up parts. My gosh though, I've never seen a Pontiac frame that heavily rusted to the point the bumper fell off! Yikes!
Gonna be honest here, man. Today was exceptionally shitty for me, and seeing an upload from you guys sure has made it better. I’m only five seconds in, by the way
This one is worse than the previous one, this proves that water and air can do more damage than bullet holes. Great Content as always! Keep up the good work Boss!
The bullet holes were obviously for drainage! All makes sense now
Don't forget UV rays
5:40 Done that! When it happened, I thought to myself, "self, this is probably not gonna be your finest moment". Then it hit me. It was a common sense lesson in "f*** around and find out".
I do find it incredibly sad how people often cherish something so much to the point they'd rather see it Rot then to have it on the Road again.
Honestly, I hate to see when people just leave old relics like those cars just to rot... it's just pure stupidity if that ever happens..
If you can turn the silver dollar Chevy into a work of art, you can fix the GTO!
From 1 Dad to another the memories you two are making together is what it is all about.
Thank you for the great content Dalton
I subscribe to your and Kevin's channel and it's really cool how you two share the content. Gives one a better perspective to how the day went working on the cars. And you got a really great kid there. Nice to see a Dad teaching his son the importance of mechanical skills and good father and son time.
See, the guy didn't order AC with the car since the cars actually came factory with rust holes in the floor, so it has built in cabin cooling. That frame delete package is full custom though.
Here in the rust belt we consider that a good start to a project 😂 A lot of collectors are getting tired of the same old same old and seem to be paying good money for Oddly Optioned cars . Even if you just sit in the corner of the barn it's a good investment
Here in michigan that's how most of the mopars look here sometimes they are even more rusty, but this takes the cake as the rustiest gm car I've ever seen
@moparman-maestro8008 Yes I am in the Upper Peninsula and have seen plenty of ripe Mopars that still run well but have major weight reduction and see through parts. 😂😂😂
Never ceases to amaze me how easy it is to get old engines running again.
I absolutely love the cinematic view at 20:27 , makes this thing look like a ghost that was resurrected.
Man i cant get enough of your videos. This car is very ruff but it would be great to see a series on this and to bring back to life. I know it would be a lot of work and money. But it would be worth it. Thanks for sharing the adventures
on the next episode of pole barn garage: will the GTO gently eject us through the floor at 55 mph
The current fashion in the custom classic car world is patina and lowered suspension. This car is already there. Great find. Congratulations - you don't need to do anything to it, except, maybe, get it running. By the standards, i.e., fashion, of today, it's beautiful!
Extreme patina, and natural lowering
How does “Lieutenant Goat” sound? I mean.. the car is green, kinda giving me that old military jeep vibe and for being a rare and rusted piece of V8 glory, IT SURVIVED AND STILL DROVE….mostly lol. Without a doubt it deserves a lot of love and a good name to be remembered by. Can’t wait to see restoration on it!!!😎💯
I am here for it, I hope it turns into a fun multi episode restoration ❤
dispite shape its in, i think it could be fixed up, def needs new floor pans lol. knock some dents out, fix the frame in the back, tune it up some etc.
Well, dont think even Dalton will manage to restore it in just one episode 😂
Really really really looking forward to a follow up! If you want to drive it home, you may have to cut the hanging bits of the framerail and rear bumper off, aside from fixing the breaks. Also gotta do something to the floor pans, at least remove the seats and patch something in there that will hold for the trip. This thing wants to be saved, so save it, even if it means having to weld half the car again.
That car didn’t just take the cake, it took the whole bakery
ok.......it was worth it for the motor alone. great video!
That's my logic!
Usually ejection seats go upwards. I think a drive down the highway in this thing would be a great demonstration of why.
you are an unrecognized genius of comedy, the looks, expressions you come up with while looking over that GTO are such a hoot!
awesome way to bring up your lad, I have spent my whole life doing the same thing with my boys, buying $50 derelicts & fixing them up as burnout cars, now I am watching my oldest son teach his son, makes me so proud, JD is very lucky to have a great dad like you mate, well done
The hood "mounted" gas tank with sliding action must have been an expensive option!
Talk about wanting to live! I can’t believe how easily she came back to life! I can’t wait to see what the future holds for this Goat!
I felt the pain there when the steering wheel flew off. A while back, I was installing a JaguarSport steering wheel (basically a Momo of some sort) into my Jag XJ40. The original steering wheel was somewhat stuck on the splines, not enough for a puller....but enough to mean I had to wriggle and pull it. It came away, quite suddenly.......into my face.
This may sound weird, but this guys voice is so soothing that I put on revival vids to go to sleep to. Also I enjoy the kind of repair triage used, that if the repair works, it's a goodun, no pedantic bullsugar about getting it all 'right' or having to use the 'correct' parts to consider the car as a fun project. Cheers from the UK.
You have to have the best car channel on here, great job bud!
Nice job! Looking forward to seeing more on this GTO
Dude, I have been a JunkyardDigs fan for years and recently stubbed my toe on one of your videos while wandering about. Im freakin hooked. I love your style of content. Now I have been binge watching all your old videos. Cant believe I was missing out on this the whole time.
Back in the mid 80's, we pulled a Pontiac 400 2bl engine outta a land yacht in the wrecking yard. Did absolutely nothing to it. Even the timing set was ok, so in my buddies 68 firebird it went, with 2bl carb, single exhaust for the 326 it had in it. Thankfully it was a 4 speed and 3.33 posi. The engine had a chrome aircleaner and we did recurve a hei ign. It ran 14.3 at 95 all day long in quarter mile. Granted we are sea level in northern ca. That car was so much fun especially with single exhaust. Yes it did have 1 thrush turbo muffler. It was viewed as a freak and ran better than we coulda hoped.
YOU and your son are by far 1 of the best auto bloggers on here , along with JUNKYARD DIGS and a few more.
The fact that D is such a veritable fashion plate makes me appreciate the extra effort he throws our way.
Another awesome episode.
Love all your work so far.
Videos with you and Junk Yard Digs are the best, you guys bounce off each other effortlessly!
I've never been more ready for this drive home. I love this car as much as the holely goat.
Another great video!! Love the content, can't wait to see what you do to it!
Gonna be fun!
I like your style boys! Taking something most would consider too far gone and giving it life! So much fun
I'll tell ya what. I'm in a bad situation. Lost my job, no income, no family to help out, rent is due and me my wife three kids and 2 dogs are about to be homeless. No joke. But watching your videos brings the only enjoyment I can find in these horrible days. If anybody has any suggestions for me on how to fix my current issue, please comment. But thank you for your funny videos. I don't know how much longer I'll get to enjoy your humor.
Great video man, honestly it’s fixable anything is anymore if you got the time or money. Keep up the great work.
Man That car is rotted but if you actually try to make a trip home in that I would be amazed . Runs really good I'm shocked , kinda sounds like Christine on that last part before u cut it off to park it . Haha Kevin is over there scratching his head when u said about driven it home 😂😂 lmao
I knew the moment I saw it you were already sold on it. That's the reason you're one of the best channels on youtube. You're willing to do the work most arent to save something worth saving.
great video of the sketchy goat. thanks for posting.
If it moves i think it will just fall apart! Such a shame! Cars just die when left outside especially if its a wet area... older uk cars suffered the same fate as weather and salt just kills them! Lots of homes dont have garages so they lived on the streets! Ive got a mk2 ford escort ( uk escort) and ive replaced everything on the underside and its took me years to get it back on the road!
Good old-fashioned tin-worm. At least it's a Ford, if it was an Alfa it might have lasted 3 years total!
NO ONE ON YT DOES what you and JD do!
Find the cheapest rarest GTO EVER!!👍🏁🇺🇸
And the lightest 😂
I love this content, just amazing watching you two work together
I love watching your videos with your son right beside you turning wrenches. You are very lucky. My son let his jeep TJ on 35’s sit for 8 months because he didn’t feel like putting new coils on it.
It’s great seeing you and your son having fun playing with cars. Proves there is hope for the next generation of car guys.
The Zombie Goat will be the coolest revival series ever. Thank you for such entertaining and interesting content 👍
idk how much its worth restoring (roof looks halfway decent) but if nothing else might be able to transplant the drivetrain into a roller. either way im here for it. love a gto
Rapidly becoming my fav youtube channel!!! Thanks for the content!
After seeing what that chevy truck was and what it has become i have zero doubt that this car can be fixed and even look decent
How did you manage to find an even worse GTO? A road trip with both this and the Holy Goat would be dope. Only question which would be the worse ride quality lol
Watched this yesterday and love this GTO...they say love is blind and this GTO is beautiful...hope you can bring her back to her former glory !!!
Another great vid Dalton and JD!
Ya know something, only someone like you and I would ever take on a project like that. Most would part it out and scrap the rest.
That one is actually better than my 69 GTO, more of it is there for starters. Also it runs and drives, which is a huge bonus. The 2 barrel 400 with a column shifter is unique, not overly desirable, but definitely unique. It does look like the frame was cut, not rusted. The frame under my 69 GTO and the 64 LeMans are definitely rusted, I was concerned about getting the 64 out of the woods without tearing it in half.
If I didn't have a 72 Cutlass on my rotisserie taking up space, I would challenge you to see who could rebuild their 'show car' 69 GTO into a comfortable daily driver first. I need to get the Cutlass done and out of here, can't do any other big projects until its gone. Once I have it back on the frame and ready for paint, then I can race you to see who gets the 69 done first.. wait, that doesn't sound quite right..
We'll see where it takes us, gotta get it home just to see what there is to work with
69 is always a race 😏
@@PoleBarnGarage it has a cowl, roof, and C pillars, so there is enough to work with sitting there. I haven't bought a running car older than 1995 in a very long time. That thing even has safe t track in it.. WINNING!
It’s so crazy to me that that car was once a perfectly decent running and driving car, and just got parked one day to rot away to nothing. Have to wonder why someone would let that happen. It’s quite sad really.
That was a rotted out old beat down car when it was parked, it just rotted further after it was parked
I’m so glad I found your channel! Great background ambience for working on my project car
JD is going to be a car diy star and should have his own channel soon!!!
He is so mature and just a great kid! Cheers
LOL! You and JD are creating father and son memories. Your son has inherited your sense of humor, you two make a great team. Congrats to you both for getting the 'GTO thing' to run again.
Great job thanks for the show 😊
I really like watching these videos back 2 back 👍🏼.
Of course you'll get it running and looking like new
Brilliant video as always Dalton and JD.was so much fun seeing you drive that down the road classic.
New to the channel, just watched your GOAT video after this... that thing makes this car look mint. Looking forward to seeing what you do with this. Congrats on the new GTO.
Another fine instalment of PBG👍🏼
The young padwan has learnt well from the master too,his input helps make this channel what it is 👌🏼🇬🇧
Great video! Keep
Up the great work!
This was awesome. Your channel has quickly grown to be one of my favorites, if not at the top of the list.
Always a fun vid with you guys! Excited to see the ride home.... might wanna bolster up the driver floors first tho! lol A+++++
Yep, county's gonna be missing a fair few road signs I figure
@@PoleBarnGarage 😂 😂 😂
Dalton, some top level revival, bringing that yard art back from the grave is highly impressive. There is an impressively small number of people on the planet who see that and say, "okay, put 60 minutes on the clock and I"ll be slinging rocks." Well done sir
Its kind of heart warming to see these old neglected cars get a second chance. So many have been lost. Time to get those that are dormant up and about.
I can not tell you how much the low buck club has put a smile on my face. The content you create and especially include your son gives me hope for the next generation. The collaborations with some of the other you tube automotive creators is pure genius. I look forward to these videos.
Came over from Junkyard Digs channel . I subbed to you .Enjoying this video .Just finish watching Digs .
Awesome video, glad you brought the gto home, it wants to live again 👍
I laughed out loud when Dalton picked up the piece of tailpipe that had fallen off and made the comment about numbers matching 🤣🤣. Great video!
Enjoy watching you and your son working as a team!
Thanks for the awesome video! This kid is amazing!
Another excellent video with you and JD great entertainment
Unbelievable 😮😮😮😮😮! Great job guys!👍👍
This is amazing! Just like my 1972 Ford Cobra Coupe I pulled out of a collapsed barn in Barrhead! Looking forward to seeing you fix this old girl up, can’t do that with the newer cars😎👍👍
Best episode yet! Thanks for the great entertainment :)
Dalton & JD is exactly what i needed after the week i have had 😢
Thank you guys. 🇬🇧
Awesome video, seriously enjoy these. Keep it up boys!
Thanks! Will do!
Man I love your videos, keep it up
Nice job getting that thing going. What a heap though. I like that 70 Monte Carlo in the background. I've had one of those since 1987.
gotta love a pontiac!!! super cool work man
Been looking forward for this since you’re last video! Look forward for all your content.
My first gto was a convertible 69 . It was so bad that when you opened the doors it just about folded in half but I was 17 and so happy to have a gto . Two part cars later and a lot of help from my dad I had my first car . You never forget your first car!!
You guys are a great team keep up the good work. The bad to the bone Goat is a keeper.
