It can be driven with confidence. This is the real deal 1966 â??242â? Vin coded GTO that you have been waiting for. I have painfully decided that it is time to pass the torch on my beloved GTO to another enthusiast who will have more time to use and enjoy it.

Always garage kept carefully driven only 2k miles since completion. The body is pin straight correct panel fit tight gaps whistle clean sheet metal. The paint was done right in Tiger Gold base with 3 coats of clear urethane buffed to a mirror-glass finish new rubbers it looks excellent upon close inspection. A correct pin stripe was added. The car was stripped painted in a correct for the year color â??Tiger Goldâ? that was a special color made by â??Royal Pontiacâ? which coined the phrase â??Tiger in The Tankâ?. It has clean chrome, emblems, stainless, and badges. It has Weld Polished Aluminum wheels w/Eagle ST Radials that complement the exterior. The original interior redone by a prior owner in black cloth that I have come to appreciate over the years simply due to the comfort level in varying degrees of weather hot or cold the seats are always at a constant and they still retain the original design pattern. It has power steering, upgraded Pontiac Cassette/AM FM radio w/cd changer in trunk, factory console, clock (not working) and more. The frame, floors, trunk are solid and a pleasure to see in this condition. PHS docs are included in sale.
