Vehicle Description
If you're a fan of style, speed, and swagger, you simply can't go
wrong with Pontiac's storied GTO. The goat practically defined the
Golden Age of Detroit, and by the time its first production run was
over, it had become the best-selling muscle car of all time. Not
surprisingly, demand for these cornerstone classics continues to be
strong, and in the first half of 2020, we shipped three awesome
GTOs to three very satisfied owners. Benefitting from detailed
restoration, this Impressively well-documented hardtop is probably
one of the coolest Pontiacs we've ever offered. With a correct
drive train, solid original sheet metal, and a correct Silver Glaze
color combination, it's an excellent turn-key muscle car for anyone
who enjoys cruising fast, wide and loud. Looking for an impressive
classic that'll roll straight out of the showroom and right into
your garage / or man cave? Here's your chance to grab a tiger by
the tail!
PURE MUSCLE
The beneficiary of acute restoration, this super cool A-Body is a
perfect blend of good craftsmanship and great attention to detail.
With a solid body present and accounted for, the car was carefully
straightened and sanded into better-than-new condition. Once that
comprehensive metalwork transitioned from the Shop floor to the
paint booth, These original classic '60s panels were re-sprayed in
their correct GM code Silver Glaze. When that paint dried, it was
sealed in glossy clear and accented with clean pinstripes. And
today, officially unleashed as the epitome of old-school American
style, this goat is one seriously head-turner that can drop jaws
just as easily as it can win trophies.
Tough, understated, and attractive, this GTO perfectly defines
Pontiac's lasting legacy of tempering sophistication with
aggression. The front of the car is dominated by trademark,
stainless-trimmed grilles that are anchored between stacked
headlights, a satin-finish arrowhead, and a body-width bumper.
Inside those grilles, a prominent "GTO" emblem hints at the
performance bolted beneath a subtle hood scoop. At the sides of
that scoop, expressive 'coke bottle' fenders hang slim wheel trim
and polished rocker moldings around correct chrome door handles. On
the outsides of those fenders, bright GTO crests complement black
"G T O" quarter scripts, creating visual excitement to match the
car's visceral thrill. Above those crests, like-new glass joins
straight drip rails, highly restored stainless and correct mirrors
to highlight the car's awesome, pillarless profile. And behind that
glass, a second body-width bumper hangs integrated reverse lamps
below a slotted valence, an ominous "G T O" badge, and a small
Hurst emblem.
PONTIAC 400
Raise the car's long steel hood and the first thing you'll notice
is a raucous 400 that's been completely rebuilt and layered in
attractive Turquoise paint. Less obvious, of course, is that
stalwart V8's correct casting number, & casting date ( shown in our
pictures )and 335 horsepower, Auto Trans with the trim tag as shown
in pictures still on side of the trans. A bored version of
Pontiac's 'Trophy 389', this legendary block, is good for 335
horsepower and 441 lb./ft. of pavement-charring torque, continued
the brand's theme of producing purpose-built performance engines.
Its big 4-barrel carburetor feeds a correct cast iron intake, which
is bolted between attractive chrome valve covers. Fires are lit by
a familiar points distributor, which jolts spark through 7mm
Standard Triple Silicon Wires. Cooling is provided by a correct
radiator, which sends water around a correct fan shroud via pliable
hoses and traditional tower clamps. This car has the Correct
California A.I.R. emissions system on it, which I dare you to try
and find, And charred dinosaurs are funneled through a nice pair of
restored exhaust manifolds. At the back of the clean mill, you'll
find a show-finish brake booster that feeds a quartet of heavy-duty
drums. At the front of the engine, a Delco Energizer battery keeps
the electrons flowing. And everything between the car's smooth,
Satin Black fenders has been fully restored and looks great!
QUALITY RESTORATION
Logging sunny day miles since attaining collectible status, this
goat's subdued original floors and super clean frame are completely
free of issues and any defects. The stout 400 sends power to a
Turbo 400 automatic transmission, that proven trans spins a tough
GM 2:92 set of gears. At the sides of that rock-solid drivetrain,
aluminized, true-dual exhaust pipes connect the aforementioned
manifolds with correct mufflers. At the sides of that booming
soundtrack, a fully rebuilt/restored suspension is complete with
factory-optioned power steering and heavy-duty power drum brakes.
Muscle meets the pavement via 14-inch Pontiac Rally IIs, which spin
a set of red-line Bias Ply tires around chrome trim rings and
correct PMD center caps. And absolutely everything, from this
Poncho's fresh stainless fuel tank to its clean Turquoise oil pan,
is fully sorted and ready to pound the pavement!
INTERIOR
Open this coupe's doors and you'll find a fully restored, and
correct, GM Black interior that's simple yet sporty. Front and
center are firm bucket and bench seats, which feature bright chrome
trim, cool pleated covers, and era-correct lap belts. The engine's
vitals are displayed by a rebuilt gauge cluster, which integrates
round-faced dials and a correct Delco radio into a veneer-trimmed
dash that's reminiscent of European sports cars. On the floors, the
new carpet anchors a chrome Hurst shifter inside a
stainless-trimmed console. At the sides of the car, fresh door
panels feature new chrome handles and straight stainless trim that
parallels bright GTO crests. In front of the driver, a
satin-finished steering wheel spins an attractive wood ring around
a Turquoise, Pontiac-branded column cover. And behind the
passengers, a clean trunk sandwiches a correct jack and a full-size
spare between a standard mat and prerequisite deck-lid decals.
This awesome GTO is an impressive muscle car that features an ideal
blend of performance and style. Thanks to its acute restoration and
correct drivetrain, it'll be an absolute pleasure to drive and show
off. If you've been patiently waiting for the opportunity to pick
up an excellent example of the ORIGINAL muscle car, here's your
chance!
