For Sale: 1967 Pontiac GTO in Morgantown, Pennsylvania

1967 Pontiac GTO Hardtop

The Pontiac GTO became known as "The Goat" due to an interpretation of the letters that make up its name. Figuratively speaking, the car's defiant, stripped to the basics personality also had a hand in cementing the moniker, according to Edmunds.com. It is speculated that the acronym GTO, which stands for Gran Turismo Omologato, was taken from the Ferrari 250 GTO.

For consignment, a 1967 Pontiac GTO hardtop showing 53,231 miles, but the true miles are unknown. It would not be hyperbole to say you're looking at the recognized grandfather of the muscle car movement and perhaps an early iteration of performance cars for the public.

Exterior
Our car was born with Palmetto Green paint, but now benefits from the two stage coverage of Starlite Black and it is mean and classy all at the same time. The vertical headlights flank a grille that works its way to a point in the center, in line with a scoop that shares the hood with the tachometer. Chrome bumpers are complemented by the headlight bezels and other metalwork on the car is in great condition and a red pinstripe spices things up a bit. Meanwhile, 15-inch Pontiac Rally II wheels carry 235/70R15 tires. Four section tail lights are new for 1967, an amazing cosmetic feature and look great enveloped in black and our black vinyl top is also in very nice condition. Imperfections include a touched up chip, some less than perfect filler, a couple of blisters low on a door, a chip at the panel gap ahead of the door and some touch up on the door edge, scuffs and cracking filler above the rocker panel, and minor inclusions on the topside of a fender.

Interior
Standard black vinyl door cars wear the GTO badge and terminate with a strip of black carpet with one small tear on the driver's side but otherwise clean. Black vinyl bucket seats are up front with some wear on the driver's piping while all others appear flawless. A wood colored 3 spoke steering wheel greets the driver ahead of the woodgrain faced dashboard, a remnant aesthetic feature that ended up in a lot of muscle cars as personal luxury performance cars. Four circular gauges fill the front while heat and air controls fill a simple panel in the middle atop an AM/FM radio followed by an added triple gauge cluster. In the center console, the epic Hurst dual gate, (His/Hers), shifter resides allowing one to drive as normal or slam the shifter through the gears. The floor is covered in nice black carpet the trunk shows use on its plaid vinyl mat.

Drivetrain
Under the hood, a clean 428ci V8 from 1969, rated at 360 horsepower and topped with and Edelbrock intakes attached to an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor. This powerplant is mated to a TH350 3-speed automatic routing power to the 10 bolt axle with 3.23 gears.

Undercarriage
Clean and dry underneath with minimal surface rust and no errant fluids. We see the dual exhaust coming from headers and meeting a pair of FlowMaster mufflers before exiting through pipes out back. Power brakes are on board as front disc and rear drum and suspension includes coil springs front and back with a 4 link accompanying in back. The car has power steering.

Drive-Ability
We fire up the 428 and its exhaust note does not disappoint, clearly proclaiming its muscle car status. On the test loop, the car tracks straight, handles well, and provides all the power you'll need, and watching the tach on the hood is about as much fun as you can have with your clothes on. Meanwhile, we find the power antenna not working but all other functions operate as they should and we take this Goat back to the stable. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.

If those epic tail lights, hood tach, or natural stance of this car doesn't excite you, check your pulse. As the commercial for the car said in 1967, "This is the great one. The ultimate driving machine. And if you don't know what that means, you're excused.". Wait...don't go! Get a closer look at this collectible muscle car and you'll soon understand!
