The Pontiac GTO is a staple of classic American muscle, and taking a single look at this stunning 1966 GTO makes it clear as to why. Instantly recognizable as classic Pontiac, the GTO's muscular powertrain, gorgeous coke-bottle styling, and split grille all combine to make one of the most legendary muscle cars ever built. Popping open the hood reveals a WT-correct 389 C.I. Pontiac V8 breathing through a 4-barrel carburetor, ensuring that this GTO isn't hurting for power in any way. Torque is stomped into the pavement through a Hurst 4-speed manual transmission, which shifts quick and smooth and is guaranteed to put a smile on your face every time you're behind the wheel. This car has a bit of a story, the previous owner purchasing the car and being the second owner of it in 1970. He kept it for a while and sold it, but then tracked it down to buy it back in 2010! When he did so, he had the car's laser-straight, curvy bodylines sandblasted and repainted, finding that repainting it was the only time it's been done! He also pulled the engine and put in completely new gaskets, meaning that this '66 GTO runs like a top. The exterior's stunning bodylines are covered in the correct shade of "Signet Gold", which has a beautiful gleam in the sun and is matched up to an equally correct black vinyl top. The undercarriage is rock-solid, with rust-free original floors and frame rails! In addition, the trunk pan has been recently replaced with a brand new one, giving some peace of mind. Opening the doors and stepping inside reveals an interior that appears to be all original and in fantastic shape, with black vinyl trim adorning the comfy patterned bucket seats and additional woodgrain trim giving this GTO some luxury flair! Options on this mean '66 Pontiac include power steering, factory gauges & tachometer, an original "Gas Saver" gauge, a remote mirror, an original AM pushbutton radio, and a mean-sounding dual exhaust system. The car is equipped with an attractive set of 14" chrome wheels wrapped with B.F. Goodrich RWL tires for a factory-fresh, muscular appearance that's sure to turn heads! With only 113k miles logged on the odometer since new, this '66 GTO runs and drives like a dream on wheels, which fits this car's character. Being an authentic '66 GTO with a cool history, a highly-original interior, and a correct drivetrain, this Pontiac really is a special car. You're not going to see another one quite like it, so don't let it pass you by!
