1967 Pontiac Le Mans GTO Clone

Description

Slick red paint, beautiful chrome, iconic hardtop profile, and a 400ci V8 under the hood... It's everything you would love about a restored 1967 Pontiac GTO with a Le Mans kind of price.

The Le Mans and GTO were always quite close in styling, but when investing in a restoration, it takes time to re-create the GTO's more aggressive appearance. This coupe does it right, and it starts with the paintwork. The red was recently applied so that it looks like this hardtop is out for blood. Then the sunlight hits it, there's a great shine, thanks to the panels that perfectly reflect the first-gen GTO's Coke-bottle styling. By 1967 Pontiac Motor Division was into their Wide Track performance look, and it gave the Le Mans bold touches like the vertical stacked headlights and big chrome bumpers. But making sure this is appears like a true GTO are correct upgrades like the hood scoop, mesh grille, all the correct badging, and the narrow sporty taillights shared with the best Pontiacs on the road. As you can tell from the pictures, all of these features are standouts because they look as good as if the factory applied them. You even get the correct Rally II wheels with PMD center caps.

Pontiac certainly nailed the inside design of the GTO in every way: comfortable, sporty, and refined, with just a hint of European sophistication. This complete package made the GTO an adult's sports car, so you'll love what the builder did with the comfortable bucket seats that look recently recovered. The matching door panels and newer carpet keep this muscle car attitude going. Plus, the round gauge package and center console shifter are always nice sporty touches, especially set in the nice woodgrain panel. And while this all looks like this is a great vintage package, there are some nice upgrades, like the newer AM/FM stereo that has a classic knob-style appearance but a modern digital tuner.

Under the hood is an exceptionally shiny 400 cubic-inch V8. Painted in the correct shade of Pontiac turquoise, this big motor is correctly dressed with a bright air cleaner and valve covers – all which will impress at the car shows. But when you look beyond the shine, you'll see the substance of upgrades like an aluminum radiator, as well as an Edelbrock intake and four-barrel carburetor. The long tube headers add even more power to the mighty V8, and they also add to the wicked rumble coming from the dual exhaust. Not only is the TH400 three-speed automatic able to handle all this power, but also it has a smooth operation – perfect for those days when you want to take it easy on a weekend joyride. Add in front disc brakes and modern tires, and you have a great total GTO package.

Beautiful paint, premium interior, and a great American V8... and it's all priced right. Time to get you hands on a GTO tribute that's about better than the real thing. Call now!!
