Vehicle Description
When sales began to slide in showrooms, it became clear to Pontiac
that their salvation would be to continue to build on its
performance image. As they proceeded to do so and by 1962 the
desired result of increased sales was a reality. Leading the effort
was Pontiac chief engineer John Z. DeLorean who insisted that
performance and styling would sell more cars. DeLorean designed the
GTO, but Pontiac General Manager Elliot "Pete" Estes is credited
with pushing the idea through politics at GM. Wildly popular upon
its introduction, Pontiac created an instant legend with the GTO, a
status that has followed the car through time. To this day, the GTO
remains one of the most sought after and collectable cars of all
time. The birth of the GTO represents the beginning of the Muscle
Car era, a craze that still enjoys tremendous popularity with
collectors today!
Offered for sale here is a superb example of one of GM's greatest
creations, the 1967 GTO Convertible! Equipped with its original,
number's matching 1967 date-coded WT 400ci V-8 mated to a Hurst

Finished in stunning Tyrol Blue over Parchment interior and new
white top, this GTO boasts a frame-off restoration completed in
approximately 2015! The complete car was disassembled to receive
fresh components, suspension, brakes, exterior finish, weather
stripping, window gaskets, fully rebuilt drivetrain components, new
stainless steel Pypes exhaust with X-pipe, brakes, all interior
upholstery, interior carpet, door panels, convertible top & boot
cover, wheels/tires, and windshield are all brand new! The body was
originally Code A- Tuxedo Black from the factory, so it was
professionally stripped, prepped, primered, block sanded, painted,
clear coated, wet sanded, and buffed to a smooth 2-stage finish in
new period correct Tyrol Blue! The engine was completely rebuilt to
stock specification with new clutch and comes nicely detailed with
period correct GM hoses with tower clamps, factory Harrison
radiator, Quadrajet carburetion, "670" heads, and pinch style
battery clamps for an impressive under hood presentation. To
improve the durability of the factory components, the M20
wide-ratio Muncie transmission and 12-bolt 3.31 Posi-Traction rear
