Description
Lot #747.1 - This matching-numbers 1967 GTO underwent a multi-year frame-off nut-and-bolt restoration and has less than 200 miles since its completion. It has PHS paperwork and was the recipient of the 2013 Muscle Car & Corvette Nationals Concours Gold Award and 2014 GTOAA National Concours Gold Award. The current owner purchased this car in 1976 and commissioned its professional restoration in 2010. No detail was overlooked and great lengths were taken to create a factory authentic restoration. The laser-straight GTO body and frame were completely disassembled, stripped to bare metal and painstakingly refinished in correct Starlight Black paint using a modern PPG base coat/clear coat system. The original matching-numbers 400ci 8-cylinder engine and 4-speed wide-ratio manual transmission were disassembled and refurbished. In addition to a rebuild guided by factory specs, the engine received hardened valve seats for the use of unleaded fuel. This GTO is also equipped with the correct 3.55 Safe-T-Track rear axle and power steering. The original front power disc brake calipers were refurbished and reinstalled, and the wire disc wheel covers were restored, packaged and stored in the trunk as-delivered to the dealer by Pontiac. The interior features bucket seats, console, AM push-button radio and Rally gauge cluster with tachometer. All of the interior components were carefully returned to factory-correct status. The car has correct Gardner dual exhaust, date-coded SoftRay tinted glass and decals. It also has new wiring harnesses. The original instruments and gauges were checked for operation and restored to factory condition. The restoration of this GTO is factory-correct, including the headlamps, original seat belts and reproduction Firestone white line oval tires. The car comes with items such as PHS paperwork, Pontiac Motor Division Window Sticker, owner's manual and restoration photos.
