Description of 1966 Pontiac GTO

Pontiac’s 1966 GTO was not only a formidable performer. but one of the most attractive mid-sized cars of its time. Indeed. the intervening years have only added to the GTO’s standing as a superb example of GM’s styling of the period. An expanding options roster added to the car’s broad appeal. and the convertible version was every GTO lover’s dream. Finding a carefully restored. well-optioned example with extensive documentation is a genuine delight for fans of the “original muscle car. ” This Modified-original 22. 00 original miles. has the Correct Montero Red. Black interior and original White top GTO convertible is a gorgeous example of the classic 1966 model. Fully documented with a numbers-matching original 389 CID. 6. 5 L. Tri-Power. custom built to 450” with 527 HP and brand new high performance 3 speed turbo 400 auto transmission. has been restored with great skill and attention to detail. and retrofitted with a carefully chosen group of highly desirable extras that emphasize the convertible’s “sport luxury” nature.

During restoration we added many features to increase safety. performance. drivability. and luxury to this beauty. All changes are termed – “bolt on” as to maintain much of the originality and correctness of this car. As a little fun. we added a state of the art radar and laser detection and jamming system (Escort 9500ci) and for sound we place an Alpine stereo receiver in the glove box with a Kicker system placed in the trunk. Originally rust free and undamaged. the car has been restored to Concours condition and is supported with PHS documentation.
