Description of 1971 Pontiac GTO |
Ever wonder why it's so hard to find a real-deal 1971 Pontiac GTO convertible. Well, there were less than 675 produced 45 years ago, this is a true rare gem presented in a ruby red with its original numbers-matching 400 V8.Not just desirable for its rarity, but also for the aggressive design of the '71 GTO. The Endura front end was revised for a sleeker single-color appearance. And when you have a professional application of a more modern red, the effect is pure intimidation. Plus, the hood scoops look like they are out to inhale lesser cars. The feeling continues down the side with minimal chrome and correct GTO decals. The sleek rear end is given a massive bold touch with the sporty rear sing. This is also where the best brightwork is found with the nicely integrated rear bumper/taillight package and the standout quad tailpipes. Top it all off with iconic Rally II wheels for the perfect Pontiac appearance. Beneath the newer black folding roof is a more of that deep, dark appearance we love on muscle cars. These bucket seats are all about sporty business, and the chair's dark vinyl matches the color of the door cards, carpets, steering wheel, and center armrest, but the interior is not a monochromatic experience. There is wood appliqu' on the center console and surrounding the gauge cluster. Plus, Pontiac's performance cars feature a section of billet aluminum trim for some nice standout aggression within this luxury. There are a few nice upgrades like the AM/FM/CD stereo, but the one we like the most is the R134a air conditioning. It means you can take down the power folding deep into the summer season, and stay cool while looking cool in your rare GTO.One look at the original, numbers-matching 400 cubic inch V8, and you realize this GTO is all about honesty. It wears the correct Pontiac Turquoise paint with pride, and it sports a chrome air cleaner lid with the displacement proudly displayed. Pontiac rated this big V8 at 350 hp right out of the box, and they will certainly hear all of it thanks to the dual exhaust with those cool quad tips. This one moves down the road nicely thanks to the TH400 three-speed automatic, power steering, and front disc brakes.Complete with reproduction window sticker and PHS documentation to authenticate the car, it will be hard to find something rarer from the GM stable for even double this GTO's asking price. So more than just a turnkey intimidation machine, this cool convertible is a great opportunity for the first to grab this deal. Call today!!! |
