Vehicle Description
Flashy Pro Street cars are fun, and polished show queens are nice,
but there's really nothing cooler than a well-done resto-mod.
Seriously, who doesn't love a classic that looks good on the street
AND performs well at the stoplight? No gimmicks, no frills and no
posturing; just power and swagger - LOTS of swagger. This sweet GTO
is a sinister stunner that mixes 376 cubic inches of Chevrolet
Performance LS3 with a modern driveline, a thoroughly upgraded
chassis and a leather-clad, air conditioned cockpit. And if you're
looking for some choice muscle that's road ready, show-ready and
just plain battle-ready, it's the perfect way to prowl the scene
and bruise a few egos!
THE STAR OF THE SCENE
An authentic code 42 GTO that's fresh out of a two-year rotisserie
restoration, this legendary Pontiac is a timeless hunk of GM muscle
that's clean, mean and ready to roll! That nut-and-bolt rebuild was
conducted by a passionate GTO enthusiast who, to date, has between
40 and 50 restorations under his belt - experience which shines,
both figuratively and literally, when you take one look at this
coupe's glossy PPG Viper Black two-stage. At the front of that
svelte pigment, a stainless-trimmed dual-port grille hangs a
prominent "G T O" badge and spotless parking lamps between a fresh
bumper and requisite T3 headlights. At the top of that grille, a
long hood centers a small scoop in front of tinted glass that's
centered behind stainless frames and a polished driver's mirror. At
the sides of that hood, bright fender emblems and muted quarter
scripts perfectly complement stainless wheel frames, stainless
rocker guards and polished door handles. And at the back of the
car, a stainless-trimmed valance bends stylish taillights between
bold call-outs, polished exhaust tips and a second fresh
bumper.
CONNECT & CRUISE
Purchased as a reliable Connect & Cruise kit straight from
Chevrolet Performance, this Poncho's divine GM small block,
officially known as the LS376/525, twists respectable 10.7 to 1
compression into 525 horsepower and 486 lb./ft. of torque! At the
front of that mill, a polished Spectre air tube funnels cool wind
into a proven GM throttle body, which is sequenced to a lightweight
GM intake. That air meets spark in rectangular-port L92-style
heads, which ride under familiar Corvette rail covers. A nodular
crank, powdered connecting rods and hypereutectic pistons compress
that volatile union. A racing-inspired ASA cam maximizes intake
efficiency through better breathing. Speaking of breathing, that
smooth valvetrain funnels spent gases through tame Hooker exhaust
manifolds. Lubrication is greatly enhanced by a quality Holley oil
pan. A billet CVF serpentine drive spins a polished alternator
opposite a polished AC compressor. And there's a proven Cold Case
radiator that's slid between two puller fans and a custom expansion
tank.
BETTER IN ALL THE RIGHT PLACES
Logging scant miles since its ground-up restoration, this goat's
fully rebuilt undercarriage has been thoughtfully upgraded in all
the right places. The stout small block commands a new Tremec T56
Magnum 6-speed, which uses a hydraulic McLeod clutch to twist a
custom Inland Empire driveshaft. That 3.5-inch, aluminum tube
powers a fresh Ford 9-inch axle, which spins a posi-traction
differential around sporty, 3.50 gears. That drivetrain rides a
restored suspension, which has been upgraded with tubular control
arms and QA-1 coil-overs. Power-assisted turns work well with
power-assisted stops, achieved through a full roster of The Right
Stuff Detailing components that includes 13-inch front rotors,
powder-coated calipers and 11.5-inch rear rotors. At the center of
the car's solid floors, a throaty Pypes exhaust system hangs an
X-shaped crossover in front of aggressive Street Pro mufflers. And
everything rolls on chromed Ridler 645s, which spin 225/45ZR18
Sumitomo HTR Z5s in front of 275/35ZR20 Sumitomo HTR Z5s.
COOL AUTHENTIC FEEL
Swing the doors and you'll find a clean leather interior that feels
like the perfect place to spend a warm summer evening. Front and
center, red-stitched TMI buckets lead a red-stitched,
TMI-upholstered bench. The LS3's vitals are displayed by Dakota
Digital VHX telemetry, which rides next to Vintage Air climate
control and Bluetooth-capable RetroSound audio. Like-new carpet
anchors a chrome Hurst shifter behind stainless-trimmed foot
pedals. At the sides of the car, pliable door panels mix manual
hardware with red-trimmed emblems. The driver spins a brushed
steering wheel around a tilting column. And the passengers store
essentials in a custom-upholstered trunk.
When it comes to performance, durability and sheer intimidation,
nothing beats a good old GM workhorse. And thanks to a high
quality, performance-minded restoration, this clean coupe wraps a
killer drivetrain in a capable chassis and precise aesthetics.
Looking for some standout muscle that'll provide years of great
memories? Don't miss the chance to add this sweet GTO to your
collection!
