1966 Pontiac GTO

Description

Admit it, it's the color that first attracted you to this 1966 Pontiac GTO. This has the perfect paint combo for those who want to grab attention with luster instead of loud color. But since this is a real-deal Goat, you also know it's all backed up by a big 389 V8.

The early GTOs like this are highly sought after by collectors, thanks to a more squared-off body with minimal chrome work. To a true car enthusiast the beauty of the car shines through without needing flashy wheels or crazy custom designs. Instead, this one lets its Burgundy paint do all the talking. It's a shade borrowed from the factory palette in '66, but a thorough professional respray gives it the kind of luster and depth make people take notice the moment the sunshine hits the super straight sheetmetal. Plus, noting looks better on a pillarless hardtop coupe body than a pristine black vinyl roof. Pontiac's subtle hood scoop hints at the power underneath, and the big, bright chrome bumpers are great reminders of Pontiac's wide track design. This one has all the right factory pieces, including the badging on the front fenders, callouts on the rear fenders, and the aggressive stock wheel package in between. So yes, this GTO is all about the bold confidence of an iconic appearance.

Pontiac nailed the interior of the GTO in every way: comfortable, sporting, and refined, with just a hint of European sophistication. This complete package made the GTO an adult's sports car, and the comfortable bucket seats, full plie carpeting, and wood-rimmed steering wheel all work towards that end. All of this looks like it has been updated recently with the period-correct pieces, and so nothing gets in the way of the dark black appearance. The round gauge package is always a nice sporty touch, and if those don't keep you entertained, the updated AM/FM/cassette stereo will.

Pontiac's famous 389 cubic-inch V8 is a legend that doesn't need much introduction. It looks exceptionally honest in the engine bay, and it even wears the correct 093 heads. There's some nice chrome touches on the air cleaner and valve covers. It makes plenty of power with a four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock intake, and long-tube headers. The crackle from the dual exhaust will make this irresistible to take out on the road. That's why it's backed up by a new aluminum radiator, and all the belts wires and hoses show signs of good maintenance. There's also more great driving features such as the power steering, three-speed automatic transmission, and front disc brakes.

Included in the sale of this GTO is Pontiac Heritage Service (PHS) documentation. What many consider the first American Muscle car still stands today as one of the most sought after vehicles of all time. One that looks and sounds this good won't last long in our showroom. Call today!!!
