For Sale: 1969 Pontiac GTO in O'Fallon, Illinois

Gateway Classic Cars of San Antonio/Austin is proud to present this 1969 Pontiac GTO aka the "Goat". This 2nd generation GTO is a fitting example of a true 242 car, this GTO is authentic and after the GTO was named Motor Trends car of the year in 1968, this was a highly sought-after year. By 1968 the car was beginning to become dated, so a new model with a fastback design was released, and the public went car crazy. 1969 would bring what many believe to be the most desirable GTO to come out of the Motor City. Undergoing a rotisserie restoration in 2014, this car has had every component touched and looked over. Originally done in Expresso Brown "61" this GTO has been redone is Matador red and Cordova Black vinyl top. The original 400CID V-8 (casting # 9790071) and 3-speed manual transmission pushing power through the 3.31 geared PosiTrac rear end remain intact. The Pontiac 400CID engine has also received some upgrades like an 800CFM QuadraJet carburetor, PerTronix high performance distributor, new polished valve covers and a complete HRG exhaust system. Silver 14 Rally II wheels wear PMD center caps as well as trim rings and are mounted with 225/70 B.F. Goodrich Radial T/A tires. Power steering and power front disc brakes vastly improve the driving experience, and with updated shocks at the corners it handles like a dream as well. The cabin features front bucket seats and a rear bench upholstered in black vinyl with matching door panels, dash, headliner, and carpets. Additional interior amenities include a Delco push-button AM radio, floor mounter Hurst shifter, lap belts and cold blowing air conditioning. The 3-spoke steering wheel frames a 120-mph speedometer, a fuel gauge, and a clock. Auxiliary gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, and amperes are mounted beneath the dash and the classic option of an 8k rpm tachometer is mounted on the hood. The five-digit mechanical odometer shows 37k miles, although true mileage is unknown. The tank sticker & an entire folder full of documents & receipts will be included to the new owner. This '69 Goat is a real beauty and has a really sweet look to it, and about the only thing that would make this 1969 GTO look any better would be it siting in your driveway!
