Vehicle Description
1969 Pontiac GTO Convertible YZ Ram Air Engine
Why This Car Is Special
The original Pontiac GTO is an automobile that was built by Pontiac
from 1964 to 1974 model years.
The first generation GTO was a muscle car of the 1960s and 1970s
era. Although there were earlier muscle cars, the Pontiac GTO is
considered by some to have started the trend with all four domestic
automakers offering a variety of competing models.
We have a true 242 vin code 1969 GTO with PHS Documentation
Convertible here at Skyway Classics that has a striking shade of
blue with Judge stripes, rear spoiler, and emblems added, with a YZ
Ram Air 400 cubic inch engine block with the oh-so-rare streamlined
exhaust, black bucket seat interior, and an automatic
transmission.
The car is very original and rides down the road, just like it did
in 1969. It has had a complete restoration and with the black
interior and black convertible top it looks stunning.
Mechanical
This GTO Convertible is loaded with options such as the Enduro
Bumper, Power steering, Power disc brakes, body color painted
Pontiac Rally wheels on BF Goodrich raised white letter Radial TA
tires and more.
The engine is a YZ 400 cubic inch Ram Air block which was rated at
366 horsepower from the factory. It shows coming with the YS engine
per the PHS Documentation so it has been changed somewhere else in
its history.
It looks factory stock with all the correct parts like the remote
cable operated Ram Air cleaner assembly, factory intake, the Ram
Air smooth flowing exhaust manifolds, correct factory Quadrajet
carb, chrome factory Pontiac valve covers, power steering and power
brakes, added vacuum canister system, and all the correct wiring
and hoses.
The engine sits in the complete and detailed engine compartment and
this beast sounds as good as it looks, and runs even better. When
is the last time you have seen a Ram Air YZ engine GTO for
sale?
Interior
Our GTO has a complete restored and replaced dual black bucket seat
interior with matching black carpets, Judge floor mats and glove
box emblem, black door panels, and trim. The black convertible top
works well and overall this is like a brand new GTO again.
It has the great GTO dash with its wood grain inserts housing all
the correct factory gauges in lauding the tachometer, full wood
grain floor console with the automatic shifter, factory wood
Pontiac steering wheel, Ram Air hood control, and an aftermarket
stereo system and speakers.
Exterior
General Motors redesigned its A-body lines or these series of GTO's
with more curvaceous, semi-fastback styling.
Pontiac abandoned the familiar vertically stacked headlights in
favor of a horizontal layout, but made hidden headlights available
at extra cost which ours has.
The concealed headlights were a popular option. The signature hood
scoop was replaced by dual scoops on either side of a prominent
hood bulge extending rearward from the protruding nose.
A unique feature on our GTO was the body-color Endura front bumper.
It was designed to absorb impact without permanent deformation at
low speeds. Pontiac touted this feature heavily in advertising,
showing hammering at the bumper to no discernible effect.
Concealed windshield wipers, which presented a cleaner appearance
hidden below the rear edge of the hood, were standard on this GTO
and it all looks great with its restoration and repaint in blue
with the added on Judge spoiler on the trunk, Judge stripes on each
side, and the Judge emblems along with the Ram Air decals on the
hood scoops.
