Vehicle Description
What true 'car guy' hasn't wanted a GTO? For the last fifty years
the GTO has symbolized late-'60s performance car culture and its
wonderful, never-to-be-repeated era. Yeah, the '64 was first and
the '65s are really nice, but 1967 was the last slim & fit design
before they began to grow rubber bumpers and chubby profiles-let
alone tacky 'judge' decals.
This Marine Turquoise over Parchment bucket seat 4-speed hardtop is
one of the most original survivor cars from those days you'll ever
find. Accompanied by binders full of vintage Pontiac build data and
option sheets, this car was ordered with many popular features and
still has its original owner's books, GM keys, trunk equipment and
still wears its original paint!! Service records covering most of
the car's life track the mileage, attesting to 48,577 actual miles!
The car spent almost its entire life in Southern California before
going into storage in New Mexico for fourteen years.
We've all seen Cars & Coffee goats that were built up from old
Tempests, have aftermarket wheels, crap sound systems and all
manner of other teenage engineering. This car has its original
engine, original close-ratio 4-speed with Hurst shifter, original
Safe-T-Track diff and Rally I wheels-just like on its build sheet.
It was ordered with the Rally Gauge Cluster, simulated wood-grain
steering wheel, tinted glass and other nice extras like courtesy
lights, remote-control mirror and factory pushbutton radio. When
you get in this car, you're sitting down in 1967.
The dedicated-enthusiast third owner has maintained this GTO for
thirty years, and as a gesture to its future, he had our shop do
over $5000 worth of very careful paint detailing, a lot of hand
buffing to preserve the original finish, detailing the chassis &
suspension, new authentic hood pad & trunk mat and a new
original-spec radiator & hoses. The car runs great, is tight and
solid all over and couldn't be in more attractive period colors.
The 400 engine has no noises, the clutch engages just off the floor
like it should and the Muncie synchros work as new. It's apparent
this car was never some kid's whipping boy and has always been in
responsible ownership. Will you be next?
