Vehicle Description
THE TIGER SCORES AGAIN! Or so said Pontiac's Performance Brochure
from 1966. The GTO is THE original muscle car, genisis, the
beginning of the greatest performance car era the motoring public
has ever seen. Fueled by a generation of young people with cash in
their pockets and gas in their vanes. The sky was the limit, and
each year the numbers got bigger. Well, usually anyways. For 1966,
the GTO could be had with two different 389CI V-8s. The standard
single four-barrel carb engine made 335hp, and the infamous
Tri-Power making 360hp. The next year the cubic inches were
increased to 400 and the tri-Power disappeared, but the base engine
remained at 335hp. The GTO for sale here is a 66' vintage, but with
the heart of a 400CI from a later 68' model year. This GTO rolled
off the Freemont California assembly line the third week of October
1966. Finished in beautiful Fontaine Blue over blue vinyl interior,
this GTO was ordered to go fast and look good. The looks come from
the optional rallye wheels over red painted drums, hood scoop, and
beautiful rear flying buttress roofline. The go-fast part was
probably what spelled the demise of the original 389, and the
upgrade to the later 400. The GTO was so legendary because of its
dual nature, fast at the strip, but yet docile enough to be a
grocery getter. Referring yet again to the Pontiac Performance
Brochure, With it's 4-barrel, standard cam, and firm but civilized
suspension, your grandmother can even pick up her sauerkraut juice
with it.. Seriously, sauerkraut juice? Who buys sauerkraut juice?
None the less, this GTO is an easy driving, smooth riding
automobile that is a joy to drive and the styling is probably the
best of any muscle car. The optional four speed with Hurst shifter
feels great sliding from one gear to the next, the exhaust rumbles
quietly, and you don't notice bumps in the road as this GTO just
absorbs them without drama. The interior is posh with vinyl covered
bucket seats, wood grain and chrome trim throughout, AM/FM radio,
and full instrumentation. This GTO is in great condition, with
beautiful paint and chrome. The only thing it needs is a new garage
to call home. If that's you, call Brian at 352-307-1968 and Go get
em' Tiger! Financing and transportation services are available!
