Vehicle Description
In the golden age of American muscle, the Pontiac GTO was king. And
today, when you're looking to grab a piece of Detroit's finest iron
without closing out your retirement, a well-restored GTO is one of
the smartest purchases on the market. There's no reason a top notch
classic should cost more than the mortgage on your house. And
there's ABSOLUTELY no reason spending your hard earned money should
result in a 'rope and red carpet' trailer queen. After all, being a
part of GM's rambunctious Pontiac family was never about striking
pretty parking lot poses. This national award-winning coupe is the
kind of car you can enjoy WHILE it appreciates. If you're the kind
of gearhead who likes to put their hardware on the field and the
street, you're looking at your next classic!
LOOKS TO LAST A LIFETIME
As fast as it is beautiful, this awesome GTO is the beneficiary of
a detailed, ground-up restoration that was conducted over the
course of 10 years. According to previous owners, all sheetmetal is
original, suggesting the car has lived an easy life in mostly warm
and dry climates. And naturally, that canvas has been bathed in
correct Signet Gold 2-stage that nails the sporty yet upscale image
that defines Pontiac's best offerings.
At the front of the car, a flashy dual-port grille founds ornate
parking lamps and a prominent "GTO" emblem between a mirrored
bumper and stacked T3 headlights. At the top of the car, a broad
hood floats a small scoop, a small tach and a monochromatic
arrowhead in front of fresh glass that's framed in straight
stainless and cleared by matte wipers. At the sides of the car,
flowing pinstripes and sporty GTO emblems add a little class, while
traditional door handles and a polished mirror perfectly complement
requisite wheel lips and ornate rocker moldings. And out back, a
stainless-trimmed valance hangs louvered taillights between and a
fourth "GTO" emblem and a second bumper that's finished with clear
reverse lamps.
PONTIAC POWER
Under the hood, 400 cubic inches of correct Pontiac power hides a
familiar 9786133 casting number between a correct "YS" assembly
stamp and a February (B) 9th (09), 1967 (7) casting date. At the
top of that Turquoise mill, a reliable Rochester carburetor bridges
the gap between a polished air cleaner, bright stainless fluid
lines and a correct, cast iron intake. That intake rides between
correct heads, which hang a polished AC breather over attractive,
polished valve covers. An old school distributor utilizes
retrofitted electronic ignition to spark pliable Packard Radio TVRS
cables. Cooling is provided by a correctly shrouded radiator, which
sends water around a traditional fan via GM-branded hoses and
reproduction tower clamps. Charred dinosaurs float through old
school exhaust manifolds. And, aesthetically, the car's impressive
engine bay has been very well-maintained, from its smooth fenders
and Delco Moraine brake booster all the way to its Frigidaire AC
compressor and Delco-Remy voltage regulator.
THE WAY OF THE FACTORY
The stout powerplant spins torque through a tough Turbo-Hydramatic
400 3-speed, which twists a proven 10-bolt axle that's finished
with friendly, 3.23 gears. Those gears push a factory suspension
that's been fully rebuilt all the way down to correct spiral-type
shock absorbers. Factory power steering plays well with power front
disc and rear drum brakes. Reproduction exhaust feeds correct
mufflers and correct resonators. As with the engine bay, correct
markings and labels are present in all the right places. And muscle
meets the pavement through fully dressed Rally Is, which spin
205/75R14 BF Goodrich Silvertown Radial redlines around stainless
trim rings and factory center caps.
SOLID GOLD
Open this Poncho's doors and you'd expect to find a simple Black
interior that serves as a nice contrast to the car's rich paint.
But this classic is built to exceed expectations, and its gold
cockpit looks positively awesome! Front and center, requisite bench
and bucket seats balance tight vinyl hides between fade-free side
panels and color-keyed door frames. Those hides look great behind a
wood-trimmed dash, which anchors rebuilt telemetry above factory
air conditioning and factory audio. On the floors, a snazzy console
frames locking storage behind a cool Hurst His n Her Shifter. And
the driver tames the road through a satin-spoke steering wheel
that's finished with a green Pontiac inlay.
