1969 Pontiac GTO Convertible

Description

There are few real-deal 1969 Pontiac GTO convertibles out there - less than 7,350 were produced nearly a half-century ago. So when you're looking at one that appears to be all original (yes, ALL ORIGINAL) in an unbeatable color combo, and it also has the hidden headlights and fire-breathing 400 V8... well then, you know the ultimate GTO collectable is up for grabs.

A factory black GTO convertible.... let the awesomeness of that sink in for just a moment. But more than just a cool story, this appears to be the same code-10 Starlight Black that was applied at the Baltimore factory nearly a half-century ago. The way it's presented today, with its slick, mirror-like luster, tells you this car has been treated with the highest respect since day one. Plus, all the trim and the form-fitting rear bumper shine just as brightly. The standard GTO didn't need stripes or even a wing to stand out, because people saw the two scoops on the hood and knew to take warning. Of course, with the wide track Endura font end paired with the optional hide away headlamps, this coupe looks like a bird of prey ready to strike. Add in the iconic Rally II wheels, and this has everything you love about a speedy Pontiac.

While we love the way the newer contrasting white roof looks against the stellar black, we love the way this all looks even more when you take the power convertible top down. This reveals the red interior, and arguably no color looks better against the deep black than this bold vinyl. And just like the paint, everything inside is amazingly well preserved. You can tell by the condition of the seats, side panels, and carpeting that there has been great care to button up this GTO after any time it has enjoyed the sunshine. Also, the mileage actual, and so averaging less than 420 miles annually means there was little time to wear out the seats. The intricate factory pattern on the front buckets and rear bench remind you that you paid a little more for a Pontiac back in the day. Nicely coordinated door panels, dash, and carpeting are all part of this pristine red package. Plus, the woodgrain paneling on the center console furthers this upscale feeling. The driver gets a grip on the original-style factory three-spoke wheel, and it gives you a commanding view of the sporty triple pod gauge package.

Filling the engine bay is the big 400 cubic-inch V8. This is the Pontiac's original YS coded block with four-barrel carburetor, which was good for 350 advertised horsepower. And more than just muscle car power, you can really see the that this is a great period-correct presentation. From the bright chrome valve covers, to the correct Pontiac turquoise on the block, everything looks like this GTO is fresh out of the showroom in '69. And just like its first day on the streets, the dual exhaust has the kind of rumble to warn the lesser cars out there to take cover. But more than just listen to the exhaust, see where it comes from with the undercarriage shots. Most people don't get to see under your car, so when it looks this good, you know its quality presentation is more than just cosmetic. And while this is a great survivor, features like the power steering and three-speed automatic transmission will mean you won't be able to resist adding a few more miles to the odometer.

This survivor-grade GTO comes with all the right paperwork you could want, including the window sticker, protect-o-plate, dealer invoice, and factory buildsheet. There's even the final statement and its canceled check! Yes, this is the muscle car you've been looking for quite some time, but you're not the only one who knows how great this Pontiac is, so hurry up and call today!
