Welcome to Street Dreams in Texas as we celebrate our 24th year in
the classic and muscle car business. There are '67 GTO's, and then
there's THIS 1967 GTO. This is one of those rare cars that has
everyone here at the shop fighting for the keys! Unlike most of the
'purple' Pontiacs that we've seen, this beauty is a factory Plum
Mist (M) car. Slide behind the wheel and enjoy the view of the
excellent dash with correct walnut veneer, correct black interior
(223), taut headliner, and the glistening Hurst shifter. Turn the
key, however, and you'll begin to understand what this beautiful
machine is all about. You've just awakened 428 cubic inches of
Pontiac power, and it sounds ANGRY! This engine has a wonderful
split personality and is able to idle smoothly and cruise sedately,
but it is capable of launching the car IN A HURRY! I have driven
many GTO's over the years, but none were quicker. To handle the
horsepower the detailed chassis features numerous upgrades
including tubular steel upper and lower A-arms, new boxed trailing
arms, new upper links, new bushings, new heavy duty front and rear
sway bars, and power (Hydroboost) 4-wheel disc brakes with drilled
and slotted rotors. Now for the interesting part. According to the
PHS, this car was originally ordered from Stan Long Pontiac with
the Ram Air engine, TH400 transmission (now a Muncie 4-speed), and
4.33 rear gears, indicating a race setup. Stan Long Pontiac had
many ties with the legendary Royal Pontiac, the source of the
infamous Royal Bobcats. Extensive documentation, though
inconclusive, includes an invoice from Royal Pontiac and a letter
from a PHS employee stating that he thinks this car was ordered by
Tony Knieper before his death. And while the provenance is a
fascinating facet of this ferocious flyer, the driving experience
is what you'll be dreaming about. Full throttle in third gear is
practically a religious experience! Street Dreams is a full service
dealership that can assist with worldwide delivery, insurance, and
financing options.
