This GTO is one you could enjoy driving every day. Its every bit the beastly muscle car you wantand#44; but you wont feel guilty driving it regularly. The 67 model year is known even among GTO aficionados as the best-looking of the runand#44; and this one is no exception. Start with thoseand#44; round headlamps stacked vertically at the far ends of the nose: 1967 was the last year for that featureand#44; and future cars would have a more conventional horizontal headlamp setup. Those headlamps bookend the splitand#44; mesh-patterned grille with an inset GTO badge. The natural crease at the nose leads up to the hood scoop and down to the largeand#44; chrome wraparound bumper. The chrome treatment continues in a wide strip all the way down the sides and to the backand#44; with true dual exhaust pipes exiting just below the chrome rear bumper. Eight narrow horizontal taillights are another feature youll only find on a GTO. The handsome factory Rally II wheels look greatand#44; and BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires with raised white letters are always a good-looking choice for a muscle car. This cars blue paint is well done and in very good condition. It has good shine and deep colorand#44; with only a few small signs of use because you are going to want to drive this one. If you look across all that bodywork and into the windowsand#44; youll notice a gold interior that beautifully complements the dark blue paintand#44; providing a visual accent through the glass and inviting you to slip into those vinyl-clad bucket seats. We believe the seats have been reupholstered in their factory gold colorand#44; and it appears to be a quality job. The rest of the interior appears to have aged well: The wood grain appliques are still present and still stickingand#44; the padded dashboard is not cracked or sun-faded. Though the interior does show wear here and thereand#44; but is in very good condition overall. Adding to the driving excitementand#44; a Hurst dual-gate His and Hers shifter for this TH-400 automatic lets you select the gears manually by sliding the shifter into a secondary gate. Give that key a twist - its mounted on the dashboardand#44; next to the AM radio - and listen to 400 cubic inches rumbling to life. Its all engine under the hood: this car appears to have a period correct YS block and runs great. An upgraded Holley carburetor lives under the original louvered air cleaner. Under the hood is a clean place to be. The engine wears a sharp coat of Pontiac Turquoise paint and cleanand#44; chrome valve covers that match the air cleaner. The Pontiac GTOand#44; the most famous of muscle carsand#44; will inspire guilt in the eyes of your friends and colleagues. This particular example is not only as beautiful as they comeand#44; but its affordable enough that you wont have to feel guilty any time you take it out for a spin. After alland#44; if youre going to own something that turns as many heads as a GTOand#44; you might as well get out on the road and actually get those heads turning. |
