Overview of 1966 Pontiac GTO For Sale by Owner

The Pontiac GTO was the work of a team of automotive greats. John DeLorean, Russ Gee, and Bill Collins came together to circumvent a General Motors ban on auto racing by their divisions. The trio’s thinking was that while Pontiac couldn’t go racing, there was nothing to stop the brand from creating street performance machines that individual owners could race themselves. Cue the GTO’s arrival for the 1963 model year. With a name inspired by the legendary Ferrari 250 GTO, Pontiac’s GTO would go on to become a symbol of the muscle car segment. If you want a slice of the action, check out this first-generation 1966 Pontiac GTO that’s for sale right now, having covered 1,700 miles since the restoration so far. The car has undergone a rotisserie restoration, as reported by the current owner, who’s had it since 1995 and includes many powder-coated components for longevity.

Exterior and Interior

This 1966 Pontiac GTO shimmers in a Blackberry Metallic paint coat, that looks black from some angles, but exudes a tinge of purple at times. During its rebirth, the car has received a full frame off restoration. The body was removed and disassembled with 4 coats of paint with 4 clear coats giving it the shine it has now. The car has reportedly been ceramic coated over its entire exterior, as well as its interior painted parts. Then, we’ve got new show chrome on the front and rear bumpers, complemented by a quartet of chromed aftermarket five-spoke alloy wheels for that signature restomod look. The restomod theme continues on to the black four-seat interior of this car, which includes original-look digital gauges nestled within the period-correct wood-trimmed gauge surround. There’s also a retro-looking replacement radio and a replacement air conditioning system for a cooler cabin on hot days. The trunk has also received the requisite attention and looks clean as a result.

Engine

This 1966 Pontiac GTO has a 389ci V8 that’s reportedly been bored out to 400ci, as we’re told by the current owner. We’re told that this is the original engine, and it drives the rear wheels via a three-speed automatic gearbox. The engine has a 10:1 compression ratio for more power. Meanwhile, the power steering makes maneuvering this beast much easier. Furthermore, the front brakes have been upgraded to discs, which is a useful enhancement for enthusiastic street driving.
