Vehicle Description
Highly optioned, rust free GTO survived out of Georgia for the
first 45 years of its life! Complete number's matching drivetrain
recently rebuilt mechanically. Options include air conditioning,
power steering, power disc brakes, His/hers automatic transmission,
and more! Super specimen with only 6,800 proven miles driven since
completion! Arguably the most sought after of GTO models came about
in 1967 with the introduction of the new 400ci V8 while continuing
with the similar body lines from the previous year. Although, some
subtle styling changes at the nose and rear end, along with these
new engine options, allowed buyers into showrooms something to get
very excited about! Changes were in the making for the GTO for 1968
by GM, so many collectors today continue to seek highly optioned
examples in the open market! We are very pleased to offer this
finely restored 1967 Pontiac GTO Hardtop finished in Regimental Red
exterior over all new Black interior! This highly optioned example
includes its numbers matching YS-code 400ci V8 engine producing 335
horsepower, 3-speed Turbo-Hydramatic automatic transmission with
His/Hers shifter, center console, factory air conditioning,
quick-ratio power steering, power front disc brakes, 3.55
Safe-T-Track rear end, 14 Rally II wheels with BF Goodrich
Silvertown Radial redline tires, wood steering wheel, tinted
windshield, Delco pushbutton AM, hood-mounted tachometer, chrome
engine dress up kit, carpeted floor mats, front & rear seatbelts,
and more! This example sold new from Miller Pontiac Inc. located in
Columbus, Georgia, in July 1967. Our history picks up in February
1987 when Jim Daniel of Altanta, GA purchased this car from
Evevette Vincent, who would then keep the car in his possession
until October 2012. It remains beautifully solid and rust free,
without any signs of damage. It would be cosmetically restored by
Mr. Daniel to include a color change from original Champagne Gold
to Regimental Red along with an updated interior to black. Once he
parted ways after 25 years of ownership, it would find its way to
Denny Gunn, a passionate Gateway GTO Club member here in the St.
Louis area. With the paintwork surviving rather well, his main
focus would be mechanical items, starting with a very complete
overhaul of the original engine with an odometer reading of 98,017
miles. All visible components remain 1967 date-coded including an
original, factory correct block that was fully rebuilt by Morley
Performance Racing Engines with a .040 overbore, notch & honed
lifter bores, new forged pistons with 4 valve reliefs, piston
rings, resize rods, new ARP rod bolts, ground & polished crank,
main bearings, new cam & cam bearings, fully balanced assembly,
correct 670 heads with new lifters, springs, & retainers, valve
guides & seats, and complete valve adjustment! It is tuned
remarkably well with a concourse rebuilt, date-correct Quadrajet
carburetor, re-cored radiator with HD 7-blade clutch fan,
completely rebuilt air conditioning system, fresh hoses, belts, new
alternator & voltage regulator, complete engine wiring harness, all
new Gardner concours exhaust system with chrome tips, and more! It
was dyno-tuned to 326hp and 404 ft. lbs. of torque. The under hood
presentation is quite sharp, but the driving capacity is second to
none!! Its a remarkable driver accumulating 6,828 miles on the
drivetrain since completion. The entire differential was rebuilt
with new 3.55 gearing, axle seals, and bearings by STL Tuners LLC!
The original 14 wheels were refinished, then fittedwith new Coker
supplied radial tires, trim rings, center caps, and lug bolts. The
complete front end suspension was rebuilt and upgraded to
incorporate power disc brakes, the rear brakes also fitted with
completely new drum equipment along with new Delco spiral shocks,
new springs & isolators. Nearly all of the chrome on the car was
re-plated by Highline Plating or simply replaced for new. This
included front & rear chrome bumpers, grill & headlight surrounds,
door reveals, etc.! The exceptional interior was totally refinished
from the dash face, air vents, chrome appointments, to the carpet
including Dynamat Xtreme sound deadener underneath! The upholstery
was provided by Legendary Auto Interiors and finished by Precision
Restoration. We invite interested buyers to call with questions or
to schedule an appointment to inspect this gorgeous GTO in person!
Hard to find for sale like this anymore! Thanks for looking!
