Gateway Classic Cars of Indianapolis is proud to present this 1969
Pontiac GTO convertible resto mod for sale! It all started in 1964,
when a group of car guys in GM's Pontiac division--led by John
DeLorean--built a car that started an automotive revolution and led
to an entirely new market segment. That car was the Pontiac GTO.
The premise was simple: put in the biggest engine you could cram
between the frame rails of the lightest car you could find. By
1968, the second-generation GTO got a full redesign, now a
curvaceous semi-fastback; the A-Body was lower, shorter and
heavier. The headlights were now arranged horizontally, and
concealed lamps were an option; dual hood scoops and a hood-mounted
tachometer added to the new muscular look, as well as the
body-color Endura front bumper, which was designed to absorb
low-speed impacts without deforming. For 1969, the front vent
windows went away, replaced by one-piece glass, and the ignition
switch moved from the dashboard to the steering column, locking the
steering wheel when the key was removed. This Carousel Red 1969
Pontiac GTO Convertible Resto Mod is equipped with an E-Rod LS V-8
crate engine cooled by an aluminum radiator and exhaling through
dual exhaust, with air conditioning and its accessories run by a
billet aluminum serpentine-belt drive. With the V-8 backed by an
automatic transmission, power is delivered to the pavement via
custom 5-spoke black 17-inch wheels with body-color accents and
wrapped in BF Goodrich G Force T/A tires. Braking is handled
courtesy of Wilwood, with a dual-port master cylinder, 4-pot
calipers and drilled and slotted rotors on all four corners.
Dropping the top reveals the black vinyl interior with
high-bolster, fabric-covered Sparco racing seats. The instrument
binnacle houses an array of aftermarket gauges, and a digital
stereo handles the tunes. This GTO Resto mod is featured in our
Indianapolis showroom and can be seen in detail including 100+ HD
photos and an HD video at www.GatewayClassicCars.com. For
