1966 Pontiac Gto Burgundy Hardtop

“I bought this 1966 Pontiac GTO from the estate of a local gentleman who took very good care of it for 40 years,” the seller comments. The car was repainted over 30 years ago, and the seller reports “It has held up very well.” The original windshield and other glass remain, and I think the upholstery is all original as well.” 

He continues, “The car looks pretty good overall, but has some blemishes from the older repaint. It runs and drives really well on its replacement 389 two-barrel engine. The seller has the correct Tri-Power induction system that came with the car when he bought it and is included in the sale. He adds, “I don’t have any documentation to verify that this GTO came with the three-deuces, but they are the correct numbers for this car, along with the intake and air cleaners.”
