The GTO by Pontiac could quite literally be responsible for
popularizing the muscle car market of the 1960's. Furthermore if it
was not for a little shadiness by none other than John DeLorean for
some sneaky marketing then none of this would have taken place, but
that's a whole other conversation. With the help of Bill Collins
and Russ Gee the GTO would evolve into a pavement crushing machine.
The first generation was built from 1964-1967 and the second
generation would follow up from 1968-1972 with the A-body platform.
What we have here is a absolute stunner of a GTO convertible
offered here at GR AUTO GALLERY OF TC finished off in Red over
White. Originally it was Signal Red over Parchment with a Ivory
white convertible top. This car is a California car still
registered in the state. It has a 68 date coded 400 Cubic Inch V8
but does not appear to be numbers matching. That is also confirmed
in a detailed inspection sheet that the seller had done in April
2020. This 350 HP 400 is mated to a Muncie 4-speed as indicated on
the build sheet. The paint although appearing to be several years
old still shines very nicely with only a couple very small
blemishes. The hideaway headlights operate as they should as do all
lights and gauges. This car has had a complete suspension upgrade
on all four corners with fully adjustable shocks and stabilizer
bars. Paint measures 16-20 mils, all the glass is in excellent
condition, has a very tidy and detailed engine bay and the
brightwork is also very good. Gaps and fitment appear to be very
good with excellent door closings. This GTO starts, runs and drives
like new with a full engine re-build with receipts in 2015. We also
have a copy of the build sheet as well as other service records.
This is a must see...
