Vehicle Description
You can call this 1972 Pontiac GTO tribute convertible a restomod
or a pro-touring machine, but really it's so much more. Starting
with a low-mileage convertible, next adding a modern GTO LS2 V8,
installing high end performance suspension components, and wrapping
it in an upgraded A/C interior � it all makes this total package
the build you've always dreamed of owning.
This convertible is absolutely stunning. Rendered in its
factory-correct Lucerne Blue, but today it has a much deeper luster
thanks to an investment in modern clearcoat paint and a
professional hand applying it. The result is a terrific shine
that's begging for sunlight, and that's exactly what you want in a
classic convertible. Now upgraded to a GTO, it gets all the
aggressive details right, too. The large hood scoops, doubled side
exhaust, and the low rear bumper that gives this a convertible a
sleek rear end like it's trying to slip away unnoticed. And
everyone will love seeing the special Year One alloys that take the
iconic Rally II wheel design and make them larger and wider. This
is an amazing looking classic, but lets really understand what it
took to get us here. Those who know Pontiacs, know there was no GTO
convertible in 1972, but there was a droptop with very similar
packaging called the Le Mans Sport. Complete with the optional
Endura front end, it's a dead ringer for a GTO in convertible form.
Best of all, a code D67 car like this is rare � less than 3,500
were produced in '72.
With one touch of a button, the pristine white vinyl top lowers to
reveal a matching pristine white vinyl interior. Part of the Le
Mans Sport packaging also included the bucket seats, and since this
convertible's body has averaged around 850 miles annually, we
wouldn't be surprised if these were the original materials that
still look fantastic today. This is a comfortable center console
car, and the machined aluminum around the gear stick nicely matches
the lower portion of the dash. And as you look over the rest of the
controls, don't be fooled by their appearance. While this looks
like a exceptionally restored/preserved classic, there are some
great modern features such as an AM/FM subwoofer stereo with
Bluetooth capability, and there's ice-cold R134a air conditioning
to keep you cool even with the top down in the summer. In fact,
when you grab the factory steering wheel, it gives you a clear view
of a full modern Dakota Digital gauge package that has a cool blue
glow.
When you lift the hood, the engine covers say GTO, but you
instantly know this is not a motor from '72. It's a 6.0-liter LS2
powerplant borrowed from 2006 Pontiac GTO, so this correctly tuned,
fuel-injected V8 gives a modern twist on a correct GTO lineage. But
the moment you turn the key, the header-fed Magnaflow exhaust gives
plenty of old-school muscle car rumble. The instillation of this
400 hp beast was done quite professionally, so it almost looks like
the modern motor belonged within the satin black fender walls from
day one. And this level of professionalism is seen throughout the
whole drivertrain. After all, a modern motor needs upgraded
components to make the most of its big power. That's why there is a
full Detroit Speed adjustable coilover setup on the front and rear
suspensions. There are also tubular A-arms up front, rear
stabilizer links, and thick sway bars a both ends. A big power
machine also needs stopping force, so there's upgraded four-wheel
Master Power Brake disc brakes, and the modern grip of BF Goodrich
Sport Comp tires. And while all of this seems like the perfect
vintage speed machine, it's also a great anytime cruiser thanks to
features like power steering and the four-speed automatic
transmission w/overdrive.
There is a full file that comes with this custom Pontiac that
includes original sales material, title documentation, maintenance
records, and receipts showing the huge $$$$$ investment in creating
your ultimate GTO. This is truly a one-of-a-kind, so if miss it;
you might never find something this cool ever again. Call
