This real deal 242 1967 Pontiac GTO is for sale in our Louisville
KY showroom. The GTO is what many will say started the Muscle car
craze in 1964. John DeLorean was "the man with the plan" if you
will, but Bill Collins and Russ Gee played a huge role in its
development. There had been other cars long before the GTO that
offered hopped up engines but were only available in the full-size
cars and very limited in production. The GTO would be the first
intermediate sized car that would be available to the masses and
not to mention affordable. This would turn into to be a very
successful formula and soon you would see every automaker
struggling to catch up. This 66 must be one of the best examples I
have seen. With it being a 2-owner car with the current owner
having taken possession in the late 60's it easy to understand why
the restoration had to be done and done right. With a full book of
photos that show the car being stripped down to bare metal and
taken completely off the frame. With a set of NOS fenders placed on
the front and the rest of the metal prepped for paint this was job
done right. Back to its original color of blue charcoal the
finishing job speaks for itself. The chrome and bright work are in
excellent shape and were replaced when the restoration was done. Of
course, the real determining factor on any muscle car is what's
under the hood. This gem has the original 389 Tri Power that looks
as good as the day it left the lot. Freshly built with only 250
miles on it she is ready to have some miles put on her. The Tri
Power setup was gone through with all the Carbs rebuilt and tuned
this baby will even idle and if you ever tinkered with this set up
that is saying a lot. Matched up to the original Muncie 4 speed
transmission going through the gears is one of the best feelings
any car nut could have. The new interior looks like it's never even
been sit in. The blue strato buckets remind you that the contoured
seats of then are nothing like today's huge side bolstered buckets,
but that's the whole point of these muscle cars. Although PHS
documentation is not available we have something even better, the
original sales paperwork including the window sticker is included
in the sale. If you want a car that is sure to get thumbs up at
every stop light and has all the criteria that collectors demand,
this fully restored beauty is. Options on this gorgeous 1966
Pontiac GTO include, Vinyl Interior, Seat Belts, Am Radio, Bias Ply
redline Tires and Hub Caps. This beautiful 1966 Pontiac GTO can be
