Vehicle Description
1967 Pontiac GTO Coupe
Born of the brainchild of John DeLorean, the initial concept was to
upgrade the Tempest, morphing it into an early version of the
muscle car, which was the up and coming trend in a niche market of
buyers who were hungry to go fast. The name, which was DeLorean's
idea, was inspired by the Ferrari 250 GTO, the successful race car.
It is an Italian abbreviation for Gran Turismo Omologato ("grand
tourer homologated"), which means officially certified for racing
in the grand tourer class. But in reality, the Pontiac GTO was
never really a certified Grand Tourer race car. Internally, it was
initially called the "Grand Tempest Option", one of many
automobiles in the Pontiac line up with a 'Grand' in it. Despite
these things, the GTO is one of the fastest cars ever manufactured
by Pontiac.
Wow is the first words out of your mouth when you take one look at
this iconic Pontiac GTO. With just one factory color respray of the
original blue exterior, this car appears as new. When driving the
GTO you are immediately impressed at how true to the model this
example is. It drives the same as the day it was when originally
delivered in 1967.
Exterior
Code 4217 denotes a 2-door hardtop coupe. F-F says it is Tyrol
Blue, and it has been resprayed to match original color. Chrome and
brite work is in very nice condition, and all badging is correct.
Even the rocker trim presents excellent. Rally wheels are all
around, and chrome tipped exhaust adds a menacing look to the back
of this goat.
Interior
Factory all the way, from the black vinyl seats, to the faux veneer
on the face of the dash, to the console, and down to the jet black
carpeting, the interior appears as it did when it drove out of the
showroom. A his and hers Hurst shifter is between the buckets. Air
conditioning blows Ice Cold! Power steering, power brakes are
added, and the steering wheel is definitely original.
Drivetrain
According to the owner the car is a matching numbers GTO, however,
the 3x2 carb and manifold set up were added at the selling dealer
due to the fact it was no longer an option in 1967. Powered by the
then new 400ci engine, horse power is rated at 360.
Undercarriage
Upon viewing the car from atop, one would expect nothing less than
a very clean view actually looking like it was polished. No rust
here, just clean, dry surfaces.
This wonderful 1967 Pontiac GTO is truly remarkable in every way
with all features fully operational, no smoke, original and
unmolested mint condition interior as well as fully detailed engine
and trunk compartments. This car drives so perfectly and
effortlessly that it would be a shame to make it a garage queen,
even though it presents itself as such.
