Vehicle Description
A real-deal 1966 Pontiac GTO convertible restored in the correct
colors, Hurst four on the floor, and an enhanced 389 V8 heart. A
machine like this is built for show and go, and so it will never
disappoint.
We could start off by telling you how rare these '66 GTO
convertibles are, but you probably already know that Ford basically
sold more Mustangs in a week than Pontiac produced droptop GTOs
that year. Refinished in a vivid coat of its factory-correct R-code
Montero Red, this restored droptop looks terrific in the sunlight,
which is exactly what a car like this was born to do. You can
really tell there was investment that went well beyond the paint to
make sure the body was looking its best. Pontiac's subtle hood
scoop hints at the power underneath, and the big, bright chrome
bumpers are great reminders of Pontiac's wide track design. This
one has all the right factory pieces, including the badging on the
front fenders, callouts on the rear fenders, and the aggressive
stock wheel package with matching redline tires. So yes, this GTO
is all about the bold confidence of an iconic appearance.
You get to choose the best of both worlds on this GTO. The white
folding roof gives you a classic two-tone appearance, or when you
want to be open to the world, the factory-correct red interior
gives the whole car a very rosy disposition. There's more evidence
of a quality restoration when you lay eyes on the stellar condition
of the bucket seats, fresh carpeting, and the crisp door panels
with correct GTO emblems. Aiming for a touch of European feel in
the GTO, Pontiac designers gave it a wood-grained dashboard that
houses the round gauge cluster, heater/defrost controls, and
correct AM/FM radio. This goes nicely with the wood on the
three-spoke steering wheel. And while your left hand will enjoy the
power steering, your right one will likely never want to leave the
Hurst floor shifter.
Pontiac's famous 389 cubic-inch V8 is the powerplant that made the
GTO an icon. Presented exceptionally well in the engine bay with
the correct turquoise paint on the block and intake. But, it also
doesn't forget to add flair with the bright air cleaner, valve
covers, and alternator. It also gets to breathe deeper than from
the factory thanks to an Edelbrock 600 CFM four-barrel carburetor.
The tidy presentation tells you it has been well-maintained, and
they way it fires up with ease gives you real confidence in this
convertible. You really get to enjoy this V8 to the fullest thanks
to the control of the four-speed manual transmission. But more than
just hear the crackle of this muscle car's exhaust, take some time
to look at where it comes from. The undercarriage photos show you
how clean the car is all around and just how extensive the
restoration was to this rare droptop.
We've got a ton of receipts showing you just how much time, money,
and effort went into making this the perfect turnkey show and go
GTO. It even comes with the original bill of sale so you can tell
its origins story. With a package this attractive you're going to
want to hurry up and call today!
