I'm speechless at the moment from this beautiful GTO.

EDIT: What's under the hood?

67? 389? Tri-power? I've owned 3 GTO's in my life. All 70's models. The last had a 455 HO and a 70 RA IV in it over the 15 yrs I owned it.

Great looking classic muscle.

Thanks for the flattering comments, guys!

It is in fact a 1966 Pontiac GTO. However, the motor is 1967 400ci 6.5L (that's how I bought it). I had it completely rebuilt by a local racing company and replaced the carburetor with a FAST electronic fuel injection system. The transmission is the original Muncie 4-speed, but a 5 or 6-speed will be installed in the near future (4 gears isn't enough for what the engine is putting out). The paint is a custom color mixed by yours truly (I call it Giants Blue), base and clear/no metallic or metal flake. The interior is Parchment seats/door panels/headliner with black carpet and dash.

I bought the car in August 2003 for $3,000. The frame-off restoration took nearly 10 years and I won't even say how much it cost. Let's just say the chrome alone was close to the price of my BRZ. I also had a 1966 Lemans with an overhead-cam straight 6 (one of the first American cars with that type of motor). I did some work to that and doubled my money when I sold it about a year ago. Even though I'm only 25, I love cars from this era and driving them is an absolutely amazing experience. I'm glad to see there are so many of you on this forum that also appreciate it!

Let me know if you have any other questions or comments. I'll be glad to post more pictures too.
