Vehicle Description
NEW PRICE! Hurry- This is a VERY NICE, REAL GTO! Gateway Classic
Cars of Fort Lauderdale is pleased to present this far out 1969
Pontiac GTO. This one was born a real 4237 VIN GTO and features a
neat semi-custom paint scheme with blue flames. The body looks
great, as do the panel gaps and Endura nose. It is a sharp goat, no
doubt. For you purists out there, it was code 65-65 (Antique Gold)
originally, with no vinyl top. Now, she's JET black, with eye
catching, subtle blue flames. Looks like a fighter jet ready to
spank a few would be challengers, and defend the GTO legacy. This
car rips it. Under the hood you will find the original YS code 400
per the Seller, and large valve "62" heads (72cc), with matching
J188 date codes. The 69 GTO base 400 was rated at a conservative
350 horses, with stump pulling 445 ft. lbs. of torque. These cars
not only look great, but they are a pleasure to drive, or reduce
the rear tires to a pile of burnt rubber. Power finds its way to
the asphalt through a 10-bolt rear. 4-wheel discs help assure a
safe stop. The owner indicates only a 2-owner history, and the
original 400 engine and THM400 auto were rebuilt 1000 miles ago, as
well as ground up restoration including powder coating the frame,
and a few suspension upgrades. He also indicates all original GM
panels on the car. The black interior looks great. This one is the
recipient of one of the cool 67-68 Hurst Dual Gate shifters. Always
neat to see vintage stuff like that. Nothing quite like looking out
over the bulging hood and fenders on 68-69 GTOs. One could even add
the factory hood tach if wanted. The 1969 GTO grew up a bit with a
more modern dash, better cylinder heads, no more vent windows, and
updated grills / rear bumper. It was the first year for The Judge
model, as well as the RAIII & RAIV engines. This is a car you can
have fun with- and save a ton of money over a far more costly Judge
version. It will surely get the looks- and represent a time, and
manufacturer no longer made. We all miss Pontiac, with their
untouchable early 60's track records and groovy cars. But
fortunately, many survived the era and we are always happy to have
them.
