1966 Pontiac GTO Convertible

Description

A tri-power V8, slick paint, A/C interior, and an overall awesomely crisp presentation make this 1966 Pontiac GTO Convertible a very cool cruiser. And you'll really love all the right details - from the show-ready presentation to the control you get from four-on-the-floor.

Red convertibles always instantly attract an audience, and this one turns that appeal way up with its maroon. After all, the darker tone gives it a hint of added sophistication. And the depth of the clearcoat finish and high-gloss metallic shine shows off investment in a quality modern application. The dark tone also gives a hint of intimidation, and this GTO keeps that authoritative vibe going with the stacked headlights, large dual exhaust tips, GTO badging, and hood scoop. Plus, the straight sheet metal, clean glass, and excellent brightwork - everywhere from mirror-like bumpers to the rocker trim - give this an overall look of quality. The finishing touch is a set of rare Hurst wheels in their correct 14-inch size.

The white roof looks good against the deep maroon, and with the touch of a button, it powers down to reveal an equally attractive parchment interior. There is a premium look and feel on the textured upholstery, plush carpeting, and door panels with correct GTO emblems. There are even nice details, like the wide headrests and courtesy lights that greet you when the door opens. It's a great drop-top for cruising, and you know this from upgrades like the armrest center console, cup holders, and cold-blowing air conditioning. But the real appeal is the full driver-oriented setup with front bucket seats, the grippy steering wheel on a tilt column, a clear gauge cluster with speedo and tach, and a Hurst floor shifter.

The engine bay is an award-worthy presentation all on its own. So we love how the dark inner walls really funnel your attention to this tidy and bright turquoise block with plenty of polished components. Pontiac fans know the triple set of air grabbers is a sure sign of the 3x2 carb tri-power arrangement. Plus, this is believed to be a 400 cubic-inch V8, which is a larger displacement than what Pontiac offered in 1966. And while we all know how to unlock some serious power from the full package, we like how this one is tuned right now to be a confident but pleasant cruiser. There's an upgraded aluminum radiator to help keep it all running cool on city drives. The four-speed manual transmission gives you full control over the full package, and power steering, power brakes, and front discs all let this GTO feel assured and easy on the road.

This is the exceptionally finished powerful Pontiac package in the rare drop-top form you've been waiting for. So don't let it slip away, call today!
