Motorcar Classics is pleased to present this 1966 Pontiac GTO
Hardtop Coupe finished in striking Platinum Silver Metallic
accented by a black vinyl roof and matching black interior with
factory-style bucket seats and center console. This car comes to us
following nearly three decades under the care of a dedicated GTO
enthusiast and remains authentically presented exactly as it left
the factory, as confirmed by its accompanying PHS documentation.
Ordered with the desirable WS-code 389 cubic-inch V8 and factory
Tri-Power setup rated at 360 horsepower, the car is paired with a
4-speed wide-ratio manual transmission and a 3.23 Safe-T-Track
(Positraction) rear axlean ideal combination for performance
driving enthusiasts. Factory options include air conditioning
(converted to R-134A; compressor currently not connected), power
steering, power brakes, and tinted glass. The car rides on
brand-new tires mounted to period-correct Cragar chrome five-spoke
wheels, enhancing its classic muscle car stance while retaining a
period-appropriate appearance. Supporting documentation accompanies
the sale, including receipts for an engine rebuild completed in
2004 and an interior replacement completed in 2021, both performed
with attention to originality and authenticity. The 1966 GTO holds
a special place in American muscle car history as the model year
that defined Pontiac?s performance image, with its bold styling and
potent Tri-Power engine marking the peak of the first-generation
GTO. Few examples remain as faithfully preserved or as
well-documented as this Platinum Silver coupe, particularly those
equipped with the factory WS 389 Tri-Power engine, 4-speed gearbox,
and desirable air conditioning. This GTO represents a rare
opportunity for collectors seeking a documented, factory-authentic
example of one of the most significant performance cars of the
1960san icon that continues to define the golden era of Detroit
muscle.
