1966 GTO

This is a 1966 Pontiac GTO. I found this car in Augusta, Georgia. When I found this car It was in decent condition, an older restoration showing its age with rust spots here and there and an aging frost blue paint. After I purchased it I had a PHS report done just to make sure it was the real deal.

Everything checked out, it is a Z code car built in Freemont California in March of 66. The car started its life in Cameo white with a black vinyl top and black interior. Originally it had a 389 4-barrel backed by a Munice M 21 four speed with console. It still has its original 389 motor which was evident that it was rebuilt not too long ago but it had a 3 speed turbo 350 automatic floor shift installed. The interior was perfect and had been redone not too long ago and had 15 inch vintage American Racing mags.

Mods

The changes I have made since getting the car are as follows:

• I had the car completely taken down to bare metal by Lopez paint and body and had it painted GM Platinum.
• new front chrome bumper
• tinted the windows
• replaced the rims with Boyd Coddington 17" Magneatos
• Vehicle Recreations stepped up a did some excellent resto work:
  • I found a complete concours correct factory original triple carb setup and had them put it in.
  • They converted the automatic floor shift back to the original Muncie M 21 four speed, dated coded correctly with 4 speed center console and Hurst shifter.
  • rewired the entire car,
  • added Ram Air and headers, and
  • and had the rear end redone with an Eaton posi with 3.90 gears.
• Rubber is Z rated BF Goodrich TA’s.
• Car has approx 405 horsepower and really gets it down the road.

One of my favorites.
