Vehicle Description
This 1967 Pontiac GTO convertible represents the rare chance to own
a well-appointed muscle car icon that not only offers miles and
miles of future open-air driving enjoyment, but also retains a
sought after period-correct configuration while still running with
confidence-inspiring road-readiness and plenty of power. Because
there were also so few of its counterparts produced, it holds bona
fide collectability, as well.
As the last of the first-generation GTOs, this '67 carries a
variety of styling elements that would soon become unavailable -
its distinctive vertically situated dual headlights and generously
proportioned size being among them. Clad in its original Code N
Burgundy color, it exudes mid-'60s style and rockets forward to the
present with a fresh, vital look. That shade itself really stands
apart from the crowd while still remaining very tasteful - a great
match for this classic - and looks impressively uniform from front
to back. Draw a little closer and you'll notice the pinstripes
running the length of its sides were applied with a lot of
craftsmanship, showing nice, sharp edges. From the dual front
grilles and bumper up front to the casings surrounding the
distinctive eight-lens taillights in back, the chrome all
represents itself very well, which certainly adds to the visual
impact. Should you find yourself cruising down the road with
darkening skies above you, the power convertible Ivory top raises
into place without incident for protection.
The correct code 224 Parchment vinyl interior with optional power
driver seat waiting inside is truly impressive, with high-backed
buckets in front and a bench seat in back that have been
refurbished to their original specifications and, owing to the
scant number of miles logged since their restoration, show no real
signs of wear. The amount of room on display hits you right away -
while this GTO is a genuine muscle car, it's a spacious one, with
plenty of room to oblige those clamoring to ride along with you. As
you climb into the driver's seat, you can't help but be impressed
with the stellar condition of the dash area. Its contrasting black
steel surfaces are impressively smooth, and the woodgrain accents
surrounding the Rallye instrument cluster and lining the center
console have been installed seamlessly. A supple-looking and
table-straight dash pad runs across the top of the dash area while
a pair of vents sit at each side referencing the factory style air
conditioning system on board which has been upgraded to R134a. It
also comes equipped with a tilt column and power windows and the
hood-mounted tach looms just beyond the windshield and, in contrast
to so many we see, it's fully functional. In back, the spacious
trunk area is nice and clean and houses a full-size spare.
A very smooth running (non-matching numbers) WS code 400 cubic inch
V8 sits just underneath the broad hood. It's a period-correct power
plant and was Pontiac's most powerful offering during the model
year, kicking out 360 horsepower. It starts promptly and is mated
with a 4-speed manual transmission, to offer a great "hands on"
driving experience and underscoring that this GTO is not just a
vintage automotive conversation piece, but a great driving,
road-ready vintage ride complete with power steering and power
front disc brakes. This exceptional classic drop top sits on a set
of original and very rare Hurst Dazzler wheels outfitted with BF
Goodrich Silvertown radials.
Complete with PHS docs, great looks, careful restoration,
well-appointed interior and powerful, capable drivetrain, this 1967
Pontiac GTO convertible is a "must see." Call today!
