In terms of muscle car lore and legend, few cars can match the
might of this 1966 Pontiac GTO. Being the first year that the GTO
broke away from the Tempest and became its very own model makes
this car even more collectible than most. Resprayed in a brilliant
silver finish, the aggressive lines of this Golden Age Pontiac can
be noticed from any angle. Inside, a sea of black vinyl dominates
the interior but is broken up by a wood-trimmed dashboard,
three-spoke wood-rimmed steering wheel, and Sunpro gauge cluster
mounted beneath the original Pontiac AM/FM radio.
Under the hood sits a 389 cubic-inch V-8 that the owner states has
been bored and stroked out to a massive 447 cubic inches and
modified with a Comp Cam, Eagle Rods, Ross Pistons, ceramic-coated
long tube headers, and a bit of chrome to spruce up the engine bay.
Power from that big motor gets sent through a TH400 three-speed
automatic transmission onto a ten-bolt rear that sports an Auburn
Traction Lock differential using 3.55 gearing.
This 1966 Pontiac GTO has a Pypes stainless steel exhaust finished
with sweet-sounding FlowMaster mufflers. If that rumble isn't
enough, there is also a toggle switch under the left side of the
dash to actuate this car's dual electric cut-outs, which changes
this big block's rumble to an NHRA-level roar. If the sound of
bored and stroked V-8 isn't enough to get you going, mash the
go-pedal and listen to the BF Goodrich tires that wrap their
American Racing rims try and claw for traction whenever the urge
arises.
