Vehicle Description
When you're going to take the ultimate muscle car drop-top and turn
it into the ultimate restomod, you really should make sure that it
fulfills the entire wish list. That's why this 1967 Pontiac GTO
Convertible is a fresh build that has a fuel-injected 502 crate big
block, five-speed stick, upgraded suspension, and four-wheel disc
brakes. And you get to enjoy this full package from a loaded A/C
interior.
A real-deal GTO convertible is already a rare sight, but this one
instantly lets you know it's something extra special. The color is
similar to the Gulf Turquoise that Pontiac offered in 1967, but
there's a level of luster that shines with a professional-grade
quality. There's less than 1,600 miles on this car since completing
its full build, and so this high-gloss finish loves to show off the
curves that made the first-gen GTO such an icon. Plus, the hint of
metallic sparkle is exactly what you want radiating on a sunshine
friendly convertible. Competing with the paint for the shine is the
mirror-like bumpers, trim, and rockers. And this has all the best
GTO pieces, including the hood scoop, badging, dual exhaust, and
eight taillight rear panel that was exclusive to 1967. This is an
upgraded restomod, but the exterior goes to great lengths to remain
vintage. So while the tires are upgraded to modern/grippy 17-inch
units, it's hard to recognize, because they used classic Cragar SS
wheels.
If you like the look of the crisp white roof against the blue
exterior, then you'll love the style of the creamy white upholstery
inside. The whole interior is both fresh and thoughtfully
assembled. For example, power windows and a power convertible top
mean you never have to leave the driver's seat to go from enclosed
comfort to a wind-in-your-hair experience. And cold-blowing R134a
air conditioning lets you enjoy this feeling even in the
summertime. While there will be plenty of people wanting to go for
a ride, a muscle car restomod like this makes sure the driver is
always the priority. The custom center console gives you extras
like a nice armrest and a well-integrated AM/FM/CD/DVD touchscreen
stereo interface. You have the comfort of bucket seats, a
wood-rimmed sports steering wheel, and a tilt column. The custom
dash is now filled with AutoMeter Cobalt gauges - including a large
speedo and tach. And that works in harmony with the Hurst shifter
to get your enthusiast blood pumping.
The engine bay continues the clean and fresh look seen throughout
this build. But what's really going to attract you is the substance
within the style. It was pretty sweet when Pontiac increased the
GTO's displacement to 400ci in 1967, and so this one take that
spirit and turns it way up. That's because you're looking at a 502
cubic-inch crate V8. More than just a monster displacement, this
was built with the right go-fast goodies like an Edelbrock Victor
Jr. intake and Hooker long tube headers feeding an X-pipe dual
exhaust. And it's topped with a Holley electronic fuel injection
system for added power and consistency. Keen eyes will also spot
thoughtful supporting components, like upgraded brackets, upgraded
pulleys, a serpentine belt system, an aluminum radiator, electric
fans, and the battery moved to the trunk for better weight
distribution. The V8 loves to growl to life with power, and you're
in complete control of it all with the upgrade to a Tremec
five-speed manual transmission. As you look underneath, there are
more great upgrades, including Bilstein shocks and a full Hotchkis
suspension package with tubular front arms, boxed rear arms, and
thick sway bars front & rear. There's also power steering, modern
ZR-rated tires, and four-wheel power disc brakes with drilled &
slotted rotors.
Complete with build receipts, it's now clear how this fresh build
is an all-around awesome restomod. So if you want a car that's
terrific to drive and ready to bring home awards, this GTO is ready
right now. All you have to do is call today!
