Vehicle Description
We can tell there was a lot invested in making this 1969 Pontiac
GTO look so good. Packaged with period correct features and the
original 400ci V8, it's handsome, fast, comfortable, and
intimidating... all the elements that make the GTO a timeless
legend. With all the optional luxuries, including AC, multiple
national awards, and tons of documents, you know you have a winner
on your hands.
The subtle code-40 Mayfair Maize hardtop and black vinyl roof give
this a premium vintage appearance that could pass for a simple cool
cruiser. In fact, the level of investment that went into the paint
and new top might just stun people into momentarily believing that
this is only a well-restored luxury cruiser. The body panels remain
straight, the rear chrome bumper is shiny & complete, and the
Endura front bumper continues to look correct & color-matched. Of
course you won't be able to keep up this ruse too long. The correct
G-T-O badges that inspire fear in lesser cars are present on each
side and easily seen. Plus, the optional hideaway headlights, hood
scoops, and Rally II wheels with the PMD (Pontiac Motor Division)
center cap remind everyone who is really king.
The factory-correct parchment bucket seat interior is quite
inviting with nicely detailed seat covers that showcase the
always-interesting Pontiac design motif. Plus, the woodgrain
paneling on the center console and dash further this upscale
feeling. Of course you want to drive your classic so the thick
black carpeting and floor mats mean you don't have to take off your
shoes before hopping in for a ride. You get the Pontiac three-spoke
steering wheel, and just ahead of that is a tri-pod round gauge
design with the speedometer prominently in the middle. As you look
out over the driver-oriented controls, this highly original coupe
reminds you of what a premium Pontiac looked like back in the day.
But while this looks like a time capsule, the modern R134a air
conditioning will keep you cool like no '60s machine ever
could.
One look at the 400 cubic inch V8, and you're again reminded this
GTO is all about honesty and originality. It wears the correct
Pontiac Turquoise paint with pride, and it sports a chrome air
cleaner lid and valve covers (after all, Pontiac knew its customers
would be showing off their engine bay.) Best of all, this
1969-correct YS block is the original motor. Pontiac rated the big
V8 at 350 hp right out of the box, and there's an added kick from
an Edelbrock intake and four-barrel carburetor (the original intake
is part of a host of spare components that come with sale.) And no
matter how you decide to run this V8, the sweet rumble of the dual
exhaust let's everyone know you have serious power under the hood.
This one handles its performance nicely thanks to the stout TH400
three-speed automatic that sends power to the 10-bolt rear end.
Plus, handling is done right with power steering, disc brakes up
front, and BF Goodrich rubber at all four corners.
This GTO comes with a ton of documentation, including the dealer
invoice, original bill of sale, reproduction window sticker, build
receipts, restoration photos, and Pontiac Historic Services (PHS)
paperwork, so you can show everyone all the authentic pieces. Such
a well-assembled package is surely to win awards and surely won't
stay around here long. Call today!!!
