1967 Pontiac GTO Hardtop

You are viewing a beautiful privately owned 1967 Pontiac GTO Hardtop. This GTO is one of only 2967 400cu. In. 2 bbl. Cars built. Below is a complete description.

Exterior:
This GTO is painted in its beautiful original color of Linden Green Metallic (code H). The paint is 2 stage and has been wet sanded and buffed to a brilliant finish. It also has a beautiful black vinyl top which this GTO came with originally. The panels are arrow straight and upon my inspection has had the rear quarter panels professionally replaced. There is no rust in this body. All of the tinted glass is very nice. The chrome on the car is excellent. The trim is all in very good condition with the exception of a very small piece by the rear sail panel with could be buffed. The double black pin stripe is painted on and was done professionally by hand. You will notice this GTO has a power rear antenna which was an original option on this car. Rally II wheels with trim rings and redline bias ply tires are mounted on all 4 corners of this beautiful GTO to complete the stunning exterior.

Interior:
The Black interior, (code 223), of this beautiful GTO is just as nice as the exterior. The seats, door panels, carpet, center console, dash pad, bucket seats and rear seat are all ready to show. This interior came originally equipped with power steering, power disc brakes, factory air conditioning, tilt wheel, power rear antenna, custom seat belts, am radio, his and hers Hurst shifter and tinted glass. The owner has made me aware of the fact that the gas gauge does not work and a/c needs to be charged. The trunk as you can see also looks like new with the correct jack assembly and a spare tire.

Drive Train:
Under the hood is a clean engine compartment that is home to the 400 cubic inch 2bbl Engine. You will notice this engine now has a 4 bbl intake with a Holley carb but the owner has the original 2bbl intake and carb That goes with the car. This engine carries a casting code of 9786133 and a date code of J166. The stamp on the passenger side of the block shows 062782 and a suffix of XM showing this engine is in fact a 255hp 2bbl engine. The engine runs excellent. The shifting duties are taken care of with a turbo 400 3 speed automatic transmission. It carries a code of PT which shows it is for a 255 hp 2 bbl engine and does show the 67 year on the tag. The transmission shifts excellent. The rear differential is the correct 10 bolt open unit and carries a casting code of 9783393 and a date code of H166. The entire drive train operates excellent.

This is an excellent GTO that you can take to any show or cruise and expect to be considered one of the top cars there. If you have any question on this GTO please contact us.

Question of the Day: Most degraded car name?

Fri, May 27 2016

When Ford came up with a not-so-sporty version of the Pinto and slapped Mustang badges on it in 1974, that was a low point for the Mustang name. When Chrysler applied the venerable Town & Country name on perfectly functional but unglamorous minivans, it saddened many of us. But perhaps the biggest demotion for a once-proud model came when, in 1988, General Motors imported a misery-enhancing Daewoo from Korea and called it the Pontiac LeMans. The original Pontiac LeMans was a great-looking midsize car with fairly advanced (for the time) suspension design and engine options including potent V8s and a screaming overhead-cam straight-six. The Daewoo-based Pontiac LeMans was a cramped, shoddy hooptie that served only to ruin the LeMans name forever, while stealing sales from the Suzuki-based Chevrolet Sprint. Sure, using the once-respected Monterey name on the Mercurized Ford Freestar was bad, but Mercury didn't have long to live at that point. I say the downward spiral of the LeMans name was the most agonizing in automotive history. What do you think? Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

GM reintroduces Tripower name in the worst way possible

Wed, Aug 1 2018

The story of General Motors' use of the Tripower moniker begins way back in 1957, when Semon E. "Bunkie" Knudsen, then General Manager of GM's Pontiac division, directed his engineers to inject more performance into his brand's line of V8-powered automobiles. Fuel injection was an option, but hot rodders flocked instead to Tri-Power (marketed way back when with a hyphen), which grafted a trio of two-barrel Rochester carburetors onto a single intake manifold. A legend was born. And that legend was born of performance. At idle and when full power wasn't required, Pontiac's Tri-Power system used just the middle carburetor, which helped make the setup easier to tune. Depending on the year and model, either a vacuum system or a mechanical linkage opened up the two outer carbs, thereby switching from two barrels to six, and allowing the engine to take in more fuel and air. And it was an easy marketing win – six barrels is better than four barrels, right? Because performance! So, when news filtered in that GM has resurrected the Tripower name, those of us who grew up attending classic car shows and wrenching on old Pontiacs did a double-take. And then we all collectively sighed. Turns out that today's Tripower refers to a trio of fuel-saving measures that include cylinder deactivation, active thermal management, and intake valve lift control, according to Automotive News. And, at least for now, it applies to GM's line of fullsize trucks powered by a 2.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. We're all for saving fuel whenever possible. And we have zero say in how any automaker chooses to market its products and technologies. But, we'll offer our two cents anyway: Relaunching a storied name from the past is fine. Relaunching a storied name from the past while completely overlooking the reasons the name got famous in the first place is only going to irritate the people who remember the name in the first place. Couldn't they just call this new technology package something else?
