Super rare GTO with numbers matching 400 High Output engine, 4-speed transmission, power disc brakes, power steering, in-dash tachometer, Safe-T-Track 3.55 rear end, and more! Fresh from a cosmetic restoration and ready to enjoy! As sales began to slip it became clear that Pontiac1/2s salvation would be to actually build a performance image. They proceeded to do so, and by 1962, the desired results - increased sales - were a reality! Hurst shifters found their way to Pontiacs with floor mounted manual transmissions and larger, more powerful engines nested under the hoods! Leading the effort was Pontiac chief engineer John Z. DeLorean who insisted that performance and styling would sell cars. DeLorean designed the GTO, but Pontiac General Manager Elliot Pete Estes is credited with pushing the idea through the politics at GM. Wildly popular upon its introduction, Pontiac created an instant legend with the GTO. To this day, the GTO remains one of the most sought after and collectable cars of all time. The birth of the GTO represents the beginning of the Muscle Car era, a craze that still enjoys tremendous popularity! Offered for sale here is a superb example of one of GM1/2s greatest creations, the 1967 GTO H.O. Hardtop! Equipped with its number1/2s matching 1967 date-coded WS 400ci High-Output 4-bbl V8 producing 360 horsepower, chrome open element air cleaner & valve covers, 1967 date-coded Muncie M20 wide ratio 4-speed manual transmission with Custom wood shift knob, 3.55 Safe-T-Track rear end, factory bucket seats with center console, Rally gauge cluster with in-dash tachometer, original date-coded Pontiac 141/2 Rally I wheels fitted with new BF Goodrich Silvertown Radial redline tires, power steering, Custom sports steering wheel, all Soft Ray tinted window glass, under hood engine light, rare interior map reading lights, ignition lamps, & trunk luggage lamp, AM radio, front & rear seatbelts, upgraded power front DISC brakes & red inner fender linings, this is without a doubt one of the finest and nicest driving GTOs available anywhere! Finished in stunning Starlight Black (Originally code GG- Signet Gold) over correct, and largely original Black interior (Code 223), this GTO boasts a fresh body-on restoration just completed in December 2012! The body & frame condition were in excellent shape requiring virtually no rust repair! The restoration included a complete stripping of the body1/2s exterior trim & bright work before it was professionally prepped, primered, 3-stage block sanded, painted PPG Starlight Black, clear coated, 3-stage wet sanded, and buffed to a brilliant, smooth finish! The engine and transmission remain completely stock and untouched. Factory intake manifold, exhaust manifolds, 670 heads, Delco Remy voltage regulator, Harrison Radiator, tower clamps, and more!
