1966 PONTIAC GTO 389/360 HP TRI-POWER
This extraordinary Pontiac represents far more than a restored
automobile - it is a rolling artifact of American muscle car
history, preserved and presented at a true Concours, museum-quality
level. Finished in its factory-correct Tiger Gold Poly (Paint Code
B #1848), the car radiates the unmistakable color and presence that
defined Pontiac's performance image during the golden age of the
1960s, standing today exactly as it would have appeared on the
showroom floor.
At its heart remains the car's original, matching-numbers 389
cubic-inch Tri-Power V8, conservatively rated at 360 horsepower and
paired with a Muncie 4-speed manual transmission - the very
combination that established Pontiac as a dominant force on both
the street and strip. The unmistakable induction sound of the
triple carburetors and the direct engagement of the 4-speed deliver
the same visceral experience enthusiasts cherished when new.
Beyond performance, this Pontiac was remarkably well optioned from
the factory, blending muscle with innovation and comfort. It is
equipped with factory air conditioning, transistorized ignition,
Rally gauges with tachometer, AM/FM radio with Verba-Phonic sound,
Soft Ray tinted glass, power steering and power brakes, tilt
steering column with 3-spoke sport wheel, bucket seats with
console, reclining passenger seat, interior lamp package, rear
defroster, vinyl roof, and the distinctive original front and rear
red wheel liners - a rare combination that reflects both luxury and
performance at the height of Pontiac engineering.
Its authenticity is supported by an exceptional level of
documentation, including the original window sticker, and full
Pontiac Historical Services (PHS) paperwork, with provenance
further elevated by its time in the Jim Mattison Pontiac Historical
Services collection, a respected benchmark within the Pontiac
community.
Meticulously restored to Concours standards and carefully
preserved, this example stands not as a commodity, but as a
reference-grade time capsule - a vehicle that tells the story of
Pontiac's engineering prowess, bold design language, and leadership
in the American muscle movement. It serves as both historical
record and tribute, capturing a moment when performance, style, and
innovation came together to create something truly
unforgettable.
Today, it remains a centerpiece-quality automobile, deserving of
display, admiration, and preservation for generations to come.
