Vehicle Description
This 1966 Pontiac 2+2 Convertible is a beautifully restored
big-block convertible that is ready for some boulevard cruising!
Known as GM's performance-oriented division, Pontiac lived up to
the hype by creating the first Muscle Car and kicking off the
Muscle Car era. 1966 was a remarkable year for General Motors'
Pontiac Motor Division which had captured over 10% market share for
the very first time in large part due to its performance-oriented
reputation. Introduced on October 7, 1965, the Pontiac 2+2 became
its own standalone model which was a departure from the previous
years where it was merely an option package on the '64 and '65
Catalinas. Marketed as the GTO's Big Brother, the new 2+2 models,
while larger, were not slouches with the 421 V8 engine coming as
standard equipment along with heavy duty suspension and low
restriction exhaust. Pontiac added all sorts of special trim around
the exterior of the new 2+2 to make sure that everyone knew that
the 2+2 was a beast. The 2+2 Convertible was also one of the most
expensive Pontiacs offered in 1966, with an initial MSRP of $3,602
and over $500 more than its little brother GTO Convertible. This
particular 2+2 Convertible comes to us from a southern-based
collector who meticulously cared for the car while under their
ownership. Under the hood on this 2+2 is a 421 Cubic Inch V8 engine
paired with a single 4 barrel carburetor that was said to push out
338 horsepower when new. Dual exhaust gives this classic Pontiac a
nice throaty sound. The 421 V8 is hooked up to an Automatic
Transmission ensuring that just about anybody can take this baby
for a cruise. This Pontiac is particularly well optioned! With
power steering, getting in and out of those tight spaces at car
shows is a breeze. Power brakes provide plenty of assistance
bringing this Two Plus Two to a stop especially with all that
muscle under the hood. The black vinyl power convertible top is in
wonderful condition and goes up and down with the simple flick of a
switch. The exterior has been beautifully refinished in its
original color, Cameo Ivory, which gives the car a nice elevated
look. Riding on Whitewall Radial Tires with Wire Wheel Covers, this
Pontiac 2+2 has a fantastic look and even better ride. The interior
on this 2+2 Convertible is stunning! The front bucket seats and
rear bench seat have been reupholstered in beautiful Black Vinyl,
just how this car came when it rolled off the Southgate, California
plant floor. The dash, door panels, center console, and steering
wheel are all in superb shape and appear to be in their stock
configuration. The dash is equipped with a 120 MPH speedometer,
battery gauge, gasoline gauge, clock, and upgraded retro-style
AM/FM/Cassette entertainment system. Sunpro oil pressure and
temperature gauges have also been tucked neatly under the dash for
improved engine performance reporting. Whether you're looking to
buy your very first classic muscle car or you're an established
Pontiac collector, this 1966 Pontiac 2+2 Convertible would make an
excellent choice. Give us a call today!
