Original vintage GTO racing jacket sold through the legendary Gratiot Auto Supply and advertised in the back of Hot Rod Magazine. NOT a reproduction. Overall very nice shape. Looks to have been used very little. Some minor thread separation at sleeve cuff and at patch. Couple small dark spots on one sleeve - no other stains or discoloration. Zipper and snaps are in good working condition. Tag is missing, but I'm guessing it is Size Large. I am 6'1 and 195 pounds and the jacket fit fine. Sleeves were long enough, and waist was nice and wide but also has a drawstring to cinch it tighter. Last pic shows Gratiot Auto Supply ad from back of 1969 Hot Rod Magazine with exact same jacket for sale. Wouldn't it be neat to be able to buy stuff from the ads in these vintage car magazines? Here's your chance!
