Vehicle Description
This 1969 Pontiac GTO Convertible is a numbers-matching muscle car
with a high-spec restoration that gives you a show-ready style. So
as you look at the clean and sleek presentation over every inch,
you'll really love this V8 drop-top for far more than just its
rarity.
It was a pricey jump to go from a GTO hardtop to a convertible, and
so a car like this is about eight times rarer than its coupe
brother. That's why we always get excited to find the real-deal. It
only gets better on an example like this that was part of a
multi-year restoration process, and it was only fully completed
recently. For example, the paint is only about a year old. This
fresh and professional application of maroon gives you the
sportiness of red but in a deeper and more sophisticated tone that
seems fitting for this high-quality. Plus, there's a hint of
metallic in the finish, and so this sunshine-friendly convertible
has extra radiance. And this one has all the best pieces you want
on a GTO. That means the optional hide-away headlights, a
shapely-pointed color-matched Endura front end, dual hood scoops,
proper GTO badging, large dual exhaust tips, and Rally II wheels.
And there's a nice level of quality everywhere from the fit of the
sheetmetal, to the shine of the rear bumper. It makes for the kind
of complete package that can leave our showroom on a Saturday and
be ready for the car show on Sunday.
The new black roof fits snugly in place, and it's an attractive
look against the maroon paint. It only gets better with the flip of
a switch. Because the roof powers down to show off the full black
interior. So you get a tasteful color combo in a detail-oriented
package - right down to the correct bright trim on the seatbacks.
Just like the exterior this has the fresh look of a proper
investment. The upholstery, carpeting, door panels, dash, and all
the fundamentals look terrific. Bucket seats, a center console, and
a sporty round gauge package are all part of a classic driver's
package. This also has well-placed upgrades like a wood-rimmed
sports steering wheel and auxiliary gauge trio under the dash.
Plus, there are worthwhile upgrades like provisions for R134a air
conditioning (likely just needs a recharge) and a RetroSound AM/FM
digital tuner with stereo speakers to give you upgraded driving
music.
Under the hood is the numbers-matching 400 cubic-inch V8. It has a
clean and stock style, right down to the GM branded hoses. In fact,
the consignor states there's only about 1,000 miles on this since
it was rebuilt, and it certainly runs like a well-invested
powerhouse. Keen eyes will even spot key upgrades like the newer
wiring, an upgraded ignition, and an Edelbrock intake (the stock
intake comes with the sale, too.) And the newer X-pipe dual exhaust
with Pypes mufflers really lets this V8 sing a powerful tune. Plus,
with the numbers-matching TH400 three-speed automatic transmission,
power steering, and wide BF Goodrich radial T/A tires, it's easy to
enjoy this drop-top GTO.
The sale comes complete with an impressive paperwork file that
include Pontiac Historic Services (PHS) documentation, the factory
buildsheet, reproduction window sticker, service manuals,
maintenance records, build receipts, and restoration photos. This
is the legendary muscle machine that has been given all the right
investments. You know you don't want to miss this deal. Call
