Vehicle Description
What do you get when you take the GTO and turn it up to 11? Maybe
something like this 1967 Pontiac GTO Restomod hardtop. Finished
only 848 miles ago, it packs a thumping 468 V8, a quick-shifting
automatic, sinister black paint, a gorgeous interior, and all the
right hardware to make it scary fast yet perfectly streetable. If
you like the idea of a GTO that takes no prisoners, this incredible
black Goat won't disappoint.
The black paint is miles deep and beautifully applied, but it's
really that iconic muscle car stance that grabs your attention
first. There's no mistaking the GTO DNA at work here, from the
stacked headlights and mesh grilles to the beautiful Coke-bottle
shape. The black paint is indeed worthy of scrutiny, a beautiful
show-quality finish that's deep and lustrous and is exactly the
right color to grab everyone's attention as you cruise into the
show, and it's broken up ever-so-slightly by the red pinstripe that
runs down the profile of this GOAT. There are plenty of beautiful
details, ranging from the Ram Air hood scoop, to the iconic
tail-panel with those thin individual taillights, and to the bright
bottom trim that lines the profile. You'll also note that the "GTO"
and accompanying badges are exactly where they're supposed to be,
although the "428" badge in the grille doesn't exactly tell the
whole story. But more on that later. All the factory chrome and
stainless trim is brand new (as is the glass and weather-stripping)
and looks amazing, so it has a very correct look, but nobody's
going to mistake this for a conservative grocery getter.
Inside, the beautiful black bucket seat interior has plenty of
factory hardware, but at the same time, it was obviously built for
the street and has a couple choice upgrades as well. All the soft
parts are new and correct reproductions, so it looks right, and
there's a proper Trans AM steering wheel atop a tilt column, which
sets the tone for the driver: GO FAST. Black-faced Classic
Instruments gauges replace the original dials inside a custom bezel
and give a better view of the upgraded engine, and there's
machined-turned accent trim on both the dash and middle console
that give the cab a cool, custom look. But make no mistake, this is
a street car, so it also has cold A/C, power windows and locks, a
powerful AM/FM/CD/AUX stereo system, power 4-disc brakes and power
steering, so it's easy to drive for anyone. You'll note that the
factory his-n-hers shifter in the slick middle console, and it
manages the TH400 3-speed automatic transmission that lives below.
In addition to the seat covers, the door panels, headliner,
carpets, and GTO floor mats are all new, making this GTO feel
incredibly fresh inside. The trunk is tidy with beautifully laid
carpet, and there's plenty of room back there so you can feel free
to hit the open road with this Poncho.
Powertrain hardware is what truly makes this car special, and the
468 cubic inch Poncho V8 (a built and bored over 400 block from
'74-'75) under the hood is extremely impressive. Professionally
built, it's a take-no-prisoners engine that makes incredible power
that's delivered instantly. It's fed through a big Edelbrock 800CFM
4-barrel carburetor that rests atop an aluminum intake, and is
augmented with Edelbrock aluminum heads, Ross pistons, a full MSD
system, and March pulleys that make everything work together in
harmony. Everything is top quality, from the finned valve covers,
to the air cleaner, and to the big aluminum radiator with dual
electric fans up front keeping things cool. Of course, there's
plenty of polished aluminum and chrome to dress things up as well,
but we're pretty sure everyone's jaws will drop just from the
smooth firewall and bright red inner fenders. The transmission is a
more-than-capable TH400 3-speed automatic linked to the big motor,
while a heavy-duty posi-traction 12-bolt rear end out back can
handle all the torque you can throw at it. A custom front
suspension uses A-arms, a giant front sway bar, and power steering
up front, while the rear end has a giant sway bar and QA1
adjustable coilovers. There's a power disc brake at all four
corners and the long-tube headers feed a custom Flowmaster X-pipe
exhaust system that uses QTP electric cut-outs for a killer sound.
Slick American Racing Torque Thrust wheels are always a great
choice and carry 235/45/17 front and 225/50/18 rear Pirelli
performance radials.
With over $130k invested in the build, this PHS-documented
real-deal 1967 GTO might be the best driving Poncho we currently
have in our inventory. Better still, it's all wrapped in
show-quality bodywork that will make everyone stop and stare. Call
