Vehicle Description
The Best Muscle Cars is proud to offer an opportunity to invest in
a blue chip iconic car that you rarely have the opportunity to buy.
When was the last time you saw a 1966 Pontiac GTO Convertible that
is a PHS doc'd FACTORY Starlight Black, Factory Tri-power, 4 speed
that is all numbers matching with what is believed to be 36,000
original miles and awesome paperwork including the order invoice
and P-O-P .If you then throw in owner history with the car residing
in California until '97 ( have the license plate ) We have never
seen another Triple Black GTO Convertible this original or this
Clean from top to bottom available outside a Big Name Auction !
Don't pay ridiculous fees and buy an inferior GTO ! It was 1966,
and Pontiac had a tiger by the tail as it introduced the newest
version of the GTO. With competing muscle cars coming in from every
direction, the car that started it all for the street set in '64
was ready for fight, flight, or just looking right. Gone were the
nascent pubescent cues formerly added to the base LeMans, now
replaced by a mature sophistication and curvaceous lines that made
The Great One a stand-alone model. Its split-grille treatment,
stacked headlamps, centered hood-scoop opening and beckoning chrome
highlights brought buyers into the showrooms and put a lot of new
GTOs into American garages. Noted for optional equipment, the
vehicle offered here is finished in matchless triple-black, and is
one of the 12,798 convertibles built in '66, a small number
considering the brand sold over 96,000 total that year. For power,
it features the optional 3x2-equipped Tri-Power 389 CI engine rated
at 360 HP backed by the Original 4 speed transmission . Rally
wheels with Silverline red-streak tires and the GTO's exclusive
chrome trim and badging finish the look from the outside. Its
original steering wheel and convertible top boot still intact, this
rust-free muscle car also has comfort to spare. It is equipped with
the power top, power brakes and power steering. Engine conditions
are monitored by a factory tach and gauge assortment, and the came
radio equipped. The front buckets, wood grain-style trim, and
well-detailed accessories under the hood help complete the idea
this is a showpiece. Of course, the best GTOs always have
provenance. This car will be accompanied by its original
Protect-O-Plate. Still more than capable of turning heads even at
50 years old, this muscle car will be �forever young' in the minds
and hearts of its admirers.
