Garage Kept Motors is pleased to present this beautiful 1966
Pontiac GTO 2-Door Hardtop Coupe for consideration. The car has
been fully restored and remains highly original with some very
desirable factory options. It also has the original owner Pontiac
Protect-O-Plate, which we've never seen available in a classic
GOAT. The car has been fully gone through by our mechanic prior to
posting it for sale. It is turn-key and ready for a new garage. Mr.
Arthur Picariello, born in 1910 and resident of Philadelphia, PA,
purchased this car brand new at the ripe age of 56. At some point,
the car came to Michigan. Our client acquired it in 2014 and
started the restoration process. In 2017, the car was resprayed in
factory original Candlelite Cream (code Y) with a brand new black
vinyl top (code 2) installed. The interior remains original
standard Black (code 223) with bucket seats and center console. The
original 389 motor was replaced with a 1970 455ci V8 that was
professionally rebuilt by Performance Engineering, mated to the
original Automatic Transmission with center console shifter. It was
also upgraded with Pontiac Ram Air exhaust. As stated, this car
came heavily optioned from the Framingham Assembly Plant. According
to the PHS documentation and Data Tag Codes, the car has the
following: Power Steering, Power Brakes, Power Windows, Factory Air
Conditioning, Pushbutton Radio with AM/FM and Electronic Antenna,
Verba-Phonic Rear Speaker (included with sale), Custom Seat Belts,
Electric Clock, Rally Wheels, Custom Sports Steering Wheel,
Console, and Safe-T-Track Rear Axle. Many options here and hard to
find, especially combined with others, like power windows and AC.
It is also unheard of to have the original Protect-O-Plate with
original warranty book and owners manual. Priceless documentation
to accompany this car. This is a gorgeous GTO and one of the most
desirable model years. The car has been completely restored without
any excuses. An incredible classic Pontiac at a reasonable asking
price. Be sure to check out all the photos and video on our main
website: Garage Kept Motors. Call if interested or e-mail with any
questions. Thank you for looking. VIN Decoder: 2 - GM Division:
