Description of 1967 Pontiac GTO

Few will argue that the 1967 Pontiac GTO is not a gorgeous car. Even among GTO fans, the '67 stands out as a high water mark in terms of styling. This matching-numbers 4-speed hardtop has been beautifully restored and offers several desirable options and upgrades that earn it a spot on most enthusiasts' short list of cars to own before they die. Originally code R, Regimental Red, the restorer wisely chose to keep it that way when the time came for a repaint last year. After writing an $11,000 check for the paint job, he owned a spectacular super clean Goat that doesn't bother speaking softly and still carries a big stick. Paint the most famous muscle car of all bright red tends to attract attention, but the good news is that it more than lives up to the scrutiny. With a high-profile color, you need to get the details right and in that regard this car delivers; from the laser-straight quarter panels, to the panel gaps, to the restored trim and badges, this car is all about getting the little stuff right. Up front the stacked headlights and split grille are Pontiac trademarks, with wire mesh inserts that recall European sports cars that inspired the GTO. In back, a re-chromed bumper and slotted taillights leave no question about the car's identity, even though Pontiac kept the GTO badges subtle. Heck, there's not even a vinyl roof to make this one jump out at you, and for many of us, that slick, uncluttered look is insanely appealing.The black interior is an excellent choice when contrasting with the red exterior, and gives the car a purposeful look that's the epitome of Pontiac's blend of style and performance. According to the cowl tag, this is an original bucket seat/console car, and we believe the interior is almost entirely original. The dash pad is brand new and the carpets might have been replaced at some point (they're really nice), and the original door panels are excellent. Other cool options include the Hurst shifter, wood-rimmed steering wheel, in-dash tachometer, and a factory AM radio that's augmented by an under-dash unit and a CD changer in the glove box. The woodgrain dash appliques are in good condition with no peeling or fading (they are, after all, just decals), and the deep dish steering wheel is a perfect representation of the '60s; surely you already have a pair of string-back driving gloves, right? The trunk is neat and simple, with a correct mat and full-sized spare with jack.The engine is the original, numbers-matching 400 cubic inch V8 which was just rebuilt to stock specs about 200 miles ago. Detailed with Pontiac Turquoise paint on the block and chrome valve covers, it keeps a low profile that will satisfy purists but delivers the kind of punch that even today's drivers will find impressive and a reproduction air cleaner would really make it shine. Both power steering and power brakes are part of the package, making this a very user-friendly Goat that can do it all. The great-sounding engine feeds a bulletproof 4-speed manual transmission and 10-bolt rear differential with 3.55 gears and a Saf-T-Track limited slip inside. Underneath, the floors are in good shape and the cackling dual exhaust has just the right attitude for the '60s' most famous muscle car. Pretty factory Rally II wheels always look great, and the staggered 225/70/14 front and 255/60/15 rear BFG radials give it a bit of an attitude.There are plenty of GTOs out there, but not many capture this one's clean look, potent powerplant, and outstanding pedigree, all documented with the proper PHS papers, Protect-O-Plate, receipts, and books.
