Vehicle Description
This 1966 Pontiac 2+2 is a proper cool-cruising hardtop with
everything you want, including an A/C interior, 8-lug wheels, and a
big 421 V8 with tri-power on top. It means you're looking at a
sleek, loaded, powerful, and rare coupe that's perfect for the
enthusiast looking for true distinction.
The 2+2 was its own series for only 1966, and there were less than
6,400 made. So over a half-century later, this is truly a rare
sight. But it's more than just history that makes you want this
hardtop. Pontiacs really were entering their own stratosphere of
cool in this era, and it all started with the design. Stacked
headlights stretched to the edges made room for dual wide grilles
to drive home the Wide Track look. In the back, the bumpers
mirrored the outstretched sheetmetal for a true designer's touch.
This is a significant looking car, and so there was a significant
investment to keep it that way. The factory-correct Cameo Ivory was
given a high-quality professional respray. Great-looking body
panels, clean/clear glass, and mirror-like brightwork all give this
one premium appeal. The 2+2 was built to be the GTO's big brother,
and so they gave it the best in sporty attitude, including the
nicely sloped hardtop profile. And not only do you have a set of
classic and sporty redline tires, but also they are mounted on the
famous 8-lug wheels which were great for both style and stopping
power.
The 2+2 badging on the car and the tires give the bright white
exterior a nice hint of red accenting. And it also happens to be a
preview of the factory-correct red interior. The doors, dash,
upholstery, and headliner all share this color for a great uniform
appearance, and the condition tells you there was a big investment
to keep it looking impressive. Pontiac loved to have fun with
European names and make them their own. So while the GTO was
borrowed from a V12 Ferrari, the 2+2 name in Europe meant a small
back seat...but Pontiac's 2+2 was quite the opposite. This is a
full-size car, and so there's a ton of hip and leg room in the back
to make this terrific for sharing with family and friends. There's
even an upgraded AM/FM/CD stereo to keep them all entertained. But
where Pontiac got the European part right is by focusing this car
on the driver. Bucket seats, a center console, and a full
driver-oriented dash mean you are always the top priority. There
are great classic pieces like the wood-rimmed steering wheel and
long speedometer. This is joined by well-integrated upgrades like
the backlit auxiliary gauge trio. This was born a factory air
conditioning car, and now it has been updated to blow cold with
modern R134a refrigerant. So you know it's the ideal one that keeps
you cool when you roll down all the windows and show off the
pillarless hardtop profile.
Because this was built to the GTO's big brother, it got an even
bigger powerhouse. That means Pontiac's mighty 421 cubic-inch V8.
Not only does this motor look clean and complete, but it's also a
year-correct block. Of course, what really has you excited is the
triple set or Rochester dual-barrel carburetors for Pontiac's
famous tri-power setup. The V8 fires up readily, and the dual
exhaust has a terrific low bass. So the three-speed automatic
transmission, power brakes, and power steering are a great combo to
have to make sure you can show off this full package with ease.
This is a distinct Pontiac that is ready to show off. That's why
the sale comes complete with the reproduction window sticker and
Pontiac Historic Services (PHS) documentation. So if you're ready
for the best in big muscle coupes, this 2+2 is ready for you. Call
