1966 Pontiac GTO

Pontiac's legendary GTO hit its stride for the 1966 model year. Beefier "Coke bottle" styling with its curvaceous profile and semi-fastback roofline added more pizzazz to the Pontiac while a greater array of luxury options and a choice of 389 V8s provided luxury and performance in equal measure. For many enthusiasts, the '66 and '67 GTOs are the ones to have. Here we have a 1966 GTO that received an incredible, frame-off restoration in the mid-1990s that still looks fantastic today. New Old Stock (NOS) parts were used whenever possible and although this car was already well-equipped with options, the restorer added pretty much every option you could get in a 1966 Goat. The correct Cameo White paint with the black vinyl top looks stunning on the arrow-straight and rock solid body, while the chrome and various stainless-steel trim pieces are brilliant as well. Correct black pinstriping, factory optional red plastic fender liners and a set of factory Rally wheels wearing redline radial tires finish off this GTO's incredible curb appeal. Inside, from the headliner down to the carpet it all looks pristine. The option highlights include A/C, power steering and brakes, power windows, power driver seat, AM/FM radio with power antenna, power trunk release, vacuum gauge, headrests, rally gauges with tach, custom sport steering wheel and reclining passenger seat. There are even a couple of dealer-installed options, including cruise control and an engine block heater. There are over 40 options (see window sticker) in all, and we doubt that a single one was left out during the comprehensive restoration process. Included PHS documentation provides more detail as far as what factory-installed options the car came with. Under the hood is a 389 4-barrel V8 factory rated at a stout 335 horsepower. The power is sent to the 3.08-geared Safe-T-Track rear end via a TH400 3-speed automatic transmission. Note that the TH400 was swapped in to optimize the car's performance, but the original 2-speed automatic goes with the car. As expected, the GTO runs and drives great, and sounds awesome doing so as the dual exhausts play that '60s muscle car soundtrack. Originally from New Jersey, the car attended many Pontiac events in the late 1990s and early 2000s and won multiple awards. Back in 2004 the GTO was personally signed by the Godfather of the Pontiac GTO himself, Jim Wangers. Please note that the GTO is going to receive a complete engine compartment detailing as well as a paint correction, which should be completed by the end of May.
