This true 242, 1967 GTO has been inspected and labeled a “creampuff” by a local classic car restoration shop. This car was purchased near San Diego, CA a few years ago from the original owner, I am the second owner. The frame and body are in excellent condition with little to no rust concerns and it has always been stored indoor. In addition, the motor, transmission and suspension have all been rebuilt with only about 500 miles on those parts. The car has a total of 116,500 miles but the motor has less than 1000 miles. I know of no bondo on the body, it is straight, and the doors, trunk and hood close as they should.
The original 400 block was bored and stroked to 461 CI, The performance package came as advised from Butler Performance, the Pontiac performance specialists, and includes a 750 Holley double pumper carburetor. The motor was assembled by Austin Speed Shop and runs on premium pump fuel - but still boasts about 425hp and 525 fp of torque. This build was carefully thought out and executed for reliability and muscle car worthy performance including a high performance Comp roller cam, balanced rotating assembly, electronic ignition and rebuilt high performance Pontiac 061 heads.
The original turbo 400 automatic transmission was rebuilt and paired with an Edge Racing Converter. A new 2.5" exhaust system was installed with Doug's headers and H pipes, The exhaust was welded and does not leak. A new front wiring harness has been installed. This car sounds as good as is runs and it is geared for the highway. Along with the motor and transmission, both the front and rear suspension were rebuilt including new springs and shocks. It rides like a dream.
The dash, headliner and radio were recently replaced. The rest of the interior is original. There are a couple of small tears in the original front seats. The hand made console can be easily removed if desired. Aftermarket temperature and oil pressure gauges have been installed. All original parts that have been removed from the car have been saved and come with the car.
