Vehicle Description
Fuel Required is pleased to present this incredible 1966 Pontiac
GTO Convertible in our McDonald, PA showroom. This timeless beauty
has received a rotisserie restoration and is finished in the very
desirable Blue Charcoal metallic with Parchment interior. In fact,
the car was painted by Bruce Harvey of Pro Comp Customs who is a
two-time winner of the prestigious show car Ridler Award. The name,
GTO was inspired by the Ferrari 250 GTO. The moniker is an Italian
abbreviation for Gran Turismo Omologato, designating being
certified by the FIA for racing in the grand tourer class as a
production car. The first Pontiac GTO began production September 3,
1963, and was available as an option package for the Pontiac
LeMans, available in coupe, hardtop, and convertible body styles.
The $295 package included a 389 cu in (6.4 L) V8 with a single
Carter AFB four-barrel carburetor and dual exhaust pipes, chromed
valve covers and air cleaner, a floor-shifted three-speed manual
transmission with a Hurst shifter, stiffer springs, larger diameter
front sway bar, wider wheels with 7.50 � 14 redline tires, hood
scoops, and GTO badges. The GTO became a separate Pontiac model (#
242) in 1966, instead of being an "option package" on the Tempest
or LeMans. The entire GM "A" body intermediate line was restyled
that year, gaining more curvaceous styling with kicked-up rear
fender lines and a longer restyled hood. This GTO also benefits
from a rebuilt 389ci V8 V-8 topped by three 2-barrel carburetors, a
combination rated at 360 HP and 424 lb-ft of torque all matched to
a 4-speed manual transmission. It sports the Hurst shifter, power
convertible top and Hurst wheels mounted to new BF Goodrich
Silvertown redline tires. The odometer reads 66,366 miles. Vehicle
has less than 100 miles since restoration. Heavily documented
through the restoration process. This vehicle was part of a well
maintained private collection. This vehicle qualifies for a
complete classic vehicle warranty up to 10 years/40,000 miles. We
always recommend, welcome and encourage personal or professional
inspections of any vehicle in our inventory prior to purchase.
