For sale in our Indianapolis Showroom is a 1966 Pontianc GTO. This
GTO in Marina Blue Paint with brand new Black Interior is a real
beauty. All the chrome shines nicely and the Crager Wheels are in
great shape. This American Muscle car has a 389 hooked to an
Automatic Transmission. The build was completed less than 500 miles
ago and it shows. This a true numbers matching orignal car. This
GTO has Power Brakes Power Steering Tilt WHeel and working AC. The
GTO became a separate Pontiac model (model number 242) in 1966,
instead of being an "option package" on the Tempest LeMans. The
entire GM "A" body intermediate line was restyled that year,
gaining more curvaceous styling with kicked-up rear fender lines
for a "Coke-bottle" look, and a slightly "tunneled" backlight. The
tail light featured a rare louvered cover, only seen on the GTO.
The GTO was available as a pillared coupe, a hardtop (without
B-pillars), and a convertible. Also an automotive industry first,
plastic front grilles replaced the pot metal and aluminum versions
seen on earlier years. New Strato bucket seats were introduced with
higher and thinner seat backs and contoured cushions for added
comfort and adjustable headrests were introduced as a new option.
The instrument panel was redesigned and more integrated than in
previous years with the ignition switch moved from the far left of
the dash to the right of the steering wheel. Four pod instruments
continued, and the GTO's dash was highlighted by walnut veneer
trim. Although Pontiac had strenuously promoted the GTO in
advertising as the "GTO tiger," it had become known in the youth
market as the "goat." The car comes with documentation of the build
and parts list in a nicley organized binder. This 1966 Pontiac GTO
for sale is located in our Indianapolis Showroom and can be seen in
