Vehicle Description
A blue on blue droptop is thought of as a casual cruiser...but you
can still have a mean streak in this 389 V8, four-speed 1966
Pontiac GTO convertible. Best of all this drop top is not only in
it's original color combo, but as you dig deeper, it will be hard
to find anything out of place, including that burly V8.
There are many reasons why you're going to want to take this GTO
out for a drive, but one of the main reasons is how good the paint
looks. This is an exceptional re-spray of the factory Barrier Blue.
It's perfect for a sunshine-friendly droptop as the daylight hits
modern cleracoat and makes an amazing shine. The paint also
showcases just how much was invested in keeping the panels looking
great, with uniform gaps and doors that close with authority. Of
course, everybody knew not to mess with the GTOs by '66, so Pontiac
gave it bold touches like the vertical stacked headlights, big
chrome bumpers, hood scoop, and narrow sporty taillights shared
with the best Pontiacs on the road. All of it is fantastically
presented, and you can tell this has been in the care of those who
understood how significant this car really is.
Those who like the blue exterior will be especially happy with the
interior. The level of factory originality on this bucket seat
convertible is amazing. The survivor quality on the blue vinyl
seats, door panel, and dash alone are the kind of condition you
only see on the most cared for convertibles. The wood paneling
center console with Hurst shifter provides an upscale feel that was
a GTO trademark, and the quad-pod instrument panel give this GTO a
touch of European elegance. This car has a true blue personality
right down to the included convertible boot. But anytime you want
to add some more color, just hit a switch, and the white folding
roof will lift into place - an elegant touch when you want to
portray your "nice guy" personality.
Of course no matter how nice you want to appear, there's a
ferocious tiger under the hood of this GTO. The 389 cubic-inch V8
is a true legend in Pontiac circles, and so we are so glad to see
it presented so well. Correctly detailed with corporate turquoise
engine paint and chrome valve covers, it shows all signs of being
the original motor. Below the large air filter, you'll find a
four-barrel carburetor feeding the big V8. The rumble that this
package creates is a sweet symphony thanks to the FlowMaster dual
exhaust. Best of all you're the conductor of this concert thanks to
the complete control from the four-speed manual transmission. So
even if you want to be the quiet nice guy out cruising on the
weekend, it only takes one downshift to let out the beast
within.
This is a highly cared for GTO that even comes with the right
documentation like the owner's manual and original warranty card.
It's this kind of overall package that you don't see too often ('66
GTO convertibles were about seven times rarer than the hardtops) so
don't miss your chance. Call now!!
