Schornack "Mr. Royal Bobcat!IT DOESNT GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS!This
exceptional 1966 Pontiac GTO Coupe represents the pinnacle of
authentic restoration and period-correct performance. The recipient
of a meticulous, frame-off restoration completed in late 2024, this
GTO has been restored to an extraordinary standard, blending
factory accuracy with legendary performance heritage. Its
significance is further underscored by being featured on the cover
of GTOAA The Legend magazinean honor reserved for only the finest
examples in the hobby. Finished in its striking factory-correct
Fontaine Blue, this GTO is beautifully complemented by a dark blue
interior that reflects the car?s original character and timeless
appeal. Every detail of the restoration was approached with
precision, utilizing correct casting numbers and date-coded
components throughout. When possible, New Old Stock (NOS) parts
were sourced, ensuring authenticity and elevating the overall
quality of the build. Under the hood resides the legendary 389
cubic-inch V8 engine, rated at 335 horsepower. This powerplant was
expertly built by Motor City Muscle in collaboration with Milt
Shornack, famously known as Mr. Royal Bobcat. Shornack was a key
figure behind the renowned Royal Pontiac dealership in Royal Oak,
Michigan, during the golden era of muscle cars. Through Royal
Pontiac?s performance programoften referred to as the Bobcat
treatmentShornack and his team transformed already potent Pontiacs
into true street and strip dominators. His involvement in this
engine build brings an unparalleled level of historical
significance and performance credibility, connecting this GTO
directly to one of the most celebrated names in Pontiac history.
Power is delivered through a smooth-shifting automatic transmission
paired with a Safe-T-Track rear differential, providing both
drivability and performance. The car is further equipped with
factory air conditioning, enhancing comfort without compromising
originality. This GTO is impressively optioned, featuring a rare
reclining passenger seat with headrestan uncommon and highly
desirable featurealong with a tilt steering column, center console,
and custom front and rear seat belts. Additional amenities include
a power antenna, push-button radio, Soft-Ray tinted glass, and a
remote-control driver-side mirror, all contributing to the car?s
refined and well-appointed interior. The driving experience is
elevated further by a Gardener exhaust system, known for its
factory-correct appearance and authentic sound, delivering the
unmistakable tone of a classic Pontiac V8. From its concours-level
restoration and rare factory options to its connection with Milt
Shornack and Royal Pontiac history, this 1966 GTO Coupe stands as a
truly remarkable example of one of America?s most iconic muscle
cars. A showpiece of craftsmanship, heritage, and performance, it
is a standout addition to any serious collection.
