1967 Pontiac GTO Convertible

Widely celebrated as the very car that put American Muscle in the spotlight, the first generation that was manufactured by Pontiac from 1963 to 1974. With Pontiac's selling point revolving mostly around performance-based vehicles, head company General Motors' decision to ban all of their divisions from being involved in auto-racing meant that Pontiac was deprived of gaining any motorsport heritage, so the American automaker decided that the next best thing was to focus on street performance. At first, Pontiac just dabbled in the idea by turning their Pontiac Tempest into a sporty version of itself, but by 1966, the GTO brand name (inspired after the Ferrari 250 GTO) was ready to make its official debut. This 1967 example is currently available for purchase in Florida with 93,400 miles done.

Exterior and Interior

The first generation GTO was available in either coupe, hardtop, or convertible, such as this one. Even before it received its own brand name, Pontiac continued to improve the vehicle, both mechanically and cosmetically every year. the 67 GTO, such as the gloss-red example seen here, received a new set of eight taillights, Rally ll wheels with colored lug nuts, and a chrome frame on the split grille. This one seems to have aftermarket wheels that are reported to be almost new, as well as a white convertible top boot cover. A car cover is also included in the sale. This 1967 Pontiac GTO Convertible maintains the same red leather and chrome-accented interior that matches the exterior. The cabin includes a set of plush leather seats and door panels, chrome accents on the doors, as well as chrome and wood trim on the dash panel and center console. A vintage air conditioning unit has also been reported.

Engine

1967 Pontiac GTOs such as this one received plenty of mechanical upgrades for this specific year. The tri-power carburation system was now replaced by a single 4-barrel Rochester Quadrajet carb, the 389ci (6.4L) was now a 400ci (6.6L) V8, and the high-output tune was capable of producing upwards of 360hp and 438lb-ft of torque. The engine on this car is said to be rebuilt and is coupled with a rebuilt automatic transmission, Power brakes, and power steering for a great driving experience.
