Vehicle Description
Beautiful, factory�High Output convertible!�Fitted with power
steering, power disc brakes, American Racing wheels, 4-speed
transmission with console, and upgraded Tri-Power carburetion!�
Outstanding triple black threat!! Revered as one of the most
popular and sought after Pontiac GTO's ever produced, the styling
characteristics of the 1967 model came together in outstanding
success! Subtle styling changes at the nose and rear end, along
with all new engine options, allowed new showroom buyers something
to get very excited about! One of these engine choices was a
factory High Output option that included a performance carburetor &
intake, 670 heads (or 997 heads on later engines), special
high-lift camshaft, free-flow exhaust manifolds, 10.75:1
compression to provide 360 horsepower and 438 lb. ft. of toque! The
St. Louis Car Museum is extremely excited to offer this factory
ordered 1967 Pontiac GTO HO Convertible finished in Starlight Black
with Black vinyl glass window convertible top and Black bucket seat
interior. Equipment options include number's matching 400ci V8
engine & close-ratio Muncie M20 4-speed manual transmission with
center console, Safe-T-Track rear axle, power steering, power front
disc brakes, Rally Gauges with dash tachometer, rare headrest
seats, deluxe steering wheel with tilt column, reclining passenger
seat, power folding top, pushbutton AM/FM radio with rear seat
speaker, dual outside mirrors, foot pedal trim, carpeted floor
mats, and deluxe front/rear seatbelts! This example hails
originally from Vowinckel Pontiac based in Clarion, Pennsylvania
selling new to R.D. Seigworth on December 8th, 1966. It comes with
original owner's manual, warranty booklet with Protect-O-Plate
still attached, top folding instructions, reproduction window
sticker, and supporting PHS documentation. It made it way westward
over time selling most recently to a Missoula, MT resident in
October 2009 with 87,299 miles on the odometer. It was enjoyed for
the first 3-4 years as-purchased adding some 10,000 miles to the
odometer, but as with many collectors, enhancements ensued. A
complete engine overhaul in 2013 by performance engine specialist,
Bill Crosier of Crosier Kinetics, fully balanced & blueprinted it
with forged Scat crankshaft, Scat 6.800 forged 4340 steel I-Beam
connecting rods, forged ICON domed pistons modified to accept 14
degree Pontiac valve angle, Crower hydraulic camshaft, and
Pertronix Flame Thrower ignition. The factory block was hot-tanked,
then bored .030 over, square decked, and plate honed before
construction began. The stock 72cc "670" heads remain with complete
valve job. The displacement now measures 434ci with 9.7 to 1
compression to run optimally on premium pump gas. A fresh
Clutchmaster heavy duty clutch kit was installed. It has just under
1,000 miles on the engine ensuring it was properly broken in and
tested. Visually stock in appearance to most onlookers, it is an
unbelievable performer, and quick to provide ample power to the
ground! Additional improvements include new aluminum radiator,
heavy duty 7-blade cooling fan, manually operated electric cooling
fan for summertime use, Doug's heavy flange long tube headers,
aluminized 2.5" exhaust with Magnaflow mufflers with chrome tips,
newly remanufactured GM intake with Tri-Power Rochester
carburetion, new gas tank, fresh front end steering components with
resealed power steering pump, new rear air shocks & springs, new
front brake rotors/pads, 15" American Racing Torque Thrust wheels
measuring 15x7 up front & 15x8 at the rear, with 4-wheel alignment.
Tires are BF Goodrich Radial T/A at 215/70R15 & 255/60R15
respectively. The original rear axle 3.55 gear set is included with
the sale, but it is now fitted with 4.11:1 for additional
performance. With the engine and transmission out, the entire car
was fully disassembled, stripped, and repainted professionally by
House of Color Autobody, Inc. in Missoula, MT using 3 coats of Jet
Black paint and 4 coats of clear. The body is flawless, remarkably
straight, with perfect gaps everywhere! A double red pinstripe was
added to accent it nicely, and a single stripe to all four wheels
enhancing it further! A new convertible top & boot cover top off a
truly stunning car! It's ready to hit the streets in your
neighborhood, and represents a remarkable number's matching GTO
High Output convertible investment! Please feel free to call with
any questions or to make an offer. Thanks for looking!
