You might try nursing homes and senior centers in the Atlanta area. Any mechanic familiar with the cars is retired. Just joking!

What you need is a restoration shop familiar with Pontiacs to look it over. They can tell you if it is a REAL GTO or just a V8 LeMans with GTO hood and badging. A mechanic will only be able to identify condition, not correctness.

Google found me this shop: [https://www.atlautoresto.com/](https://www.atlautoresto.com/)

There are people that specialize in classic car inspections, perform a search for _ **classic car inspection** _.

This is one company;

Another approach - find one through the local GTO club:

> **[Southeastern GTO Association - Official Chapter of the GTOAA](https://segtoa.org/)**
>
> Southeastern GTO Association (SEGTOA) is an official chapter of GTOAA and a home for Pontiac and GTO owners and afficianados. Join today!

I buy vintage cars and have used [www.autoappraisal.com](http://www.autoappraisal.com) to perform inspections where the car is too far for a personal visit.
