is awesome beyond all space and time. �€" Automobile magazine, June
2006 The Automobile magazine review above verified the Pontiac GTO
is a legitimate muscle-car legend. Back in the day (January 1967),
Motor Trend's road testers weighed in on the then-new '67 GTOs:
This test of the '67 GTO was one of the most comprehensive we've
ever done. We had the opportunity to drive several different
varieties, and in many different conditions. We ran quite a few
mileage checks and averaged 13.5 mpg on the open highway with a
3.90:1 rear axle ratio, and 11.5 around town. The fit and finish on
all the cars was the best we've seen on any Pontiac GTO, and we'd
rate the drivability as excellent for enthusiasts as well as
commuters. They're housebroken Tigers, but they can revert to the
jungle whenever you give the word. So, you really could have your
cake and eat it, too. Offered here is a 1967 Pontiac GTO hardtop in
a metallic blue (reminiscent of Elkhart Blue on Corvettes) over
black. The car underwent a frame-up restoration just four years
ago, and shows 72,000 miles on the odometer, or just under 1,500
miles per-year on average. Owing to the high quality of the recent
restoration, the exterior finish on the car is exceptional-smooth,
even, and uniformly glossy. Showroom new appearance is not an
overstatement. In the same way, the front grille, chrome bumpers,
dual-exhaust outlets, and body trim is all in excellent condition.
Lighting lenses-on the vertical quad headlights and handsome
rear-deck taillights (a re-design for 1967)-are clear and free of
cracks or fading. Cabin glass is equally well-maintained.
Period-correct Cragar mag wheels are mounted with blackwall tires.
All factory emblems and badging-including GTO identification on the
front, rear and both sides of the car--is properly located and in
excellent condition. Inside, the black vinyl upholstery and trim is
in excellent condition, free of any obvious signs of damage; there
are no rips or tears on the seat surfaces or the door trim. The
vertically pleated treatment on the front bench seat (with center
armrest) is matched across the rear bench seat. The black dashboard
features the four round instrument pods facing the driver with
three engine-monitoring gauges (SunPro® coolant temperature and oil
pressure, and a Bosch® voltmeter) mounted below the dash in a
period-correct fashion. The correct Pontiac-logo steering wheel is
mounted; the 3-speed automatic transmission shifter is mounted on
the steering column. (Motor Trend in 1967 on the 3-speed automatic:
Automatic transmission GTOs up until now haven't been known as
'stormers' but this is the year to change that. The secret is Turbo
Hydra-Matic 3speed....) A replacement AM/FM radio is mounted in the
factory radio location. GTO badging is correctly located above the
glovebox, and on both doors. Under the hood, the 6.5-liter (400
cubic-inch) Pontiac V8 glistens in a tidy and very clean engine
bay. Chrome valve covers and a chrome air-cleaner cover add a touch
of flair that was common among owners of GTOs. All components,
wiring, and engine-cooling hoses are properly located. The car's
build tag remains undisturbed. Viewed from below, most metal
surfaces have been treated with rust inhibitor.
