1966 Pontiac GTO

Motorcar Classics is pleased to present this 1966 Pontiac GTO Hardtop Coupe finished in striking Platinum Silver Metallic accented by a black vinyl roof and matching black interior with factory-style bucket seats and center console. This car comes to us following nearly three decades under the care of a dedicated GTO enthusiast and remains authentically presented exactly as it left the factory, as confirmed by its accompanying PHS documentation. Ordered with the desirable WS-code 389 cubic-inch V8 and factory Tri-Power setup rated at 360 horsepower, the car is paired with a 4-speed wide-ratio manual transmission and a 3.23 Safe-T-Track (Positraction) rear axlean ideal combination for performance driving enthusiasts.

Factory options include air conditioning (converted to R-134A; compressor currently not connected), power steering, power brakes, and tinted glass. The car rides on brand-new tires mounted to period-correct Cragar chrome five-spoke wheels, enhancing its classic muscle car stance while retaining a period-appropriate appearance. Supporting documentation accompanies the sale, including receipts for an engine rebuild completed in 2004 and an interior replacement completed in 2021, both performed with attention to originality and authenticity.

The 1966 GTO holds a special place in American muscle car history as the model year that defined Pontiac?s performance image, with its bold styling and potent Tri-Power engine marking the peak of the first-generation GTO. Few examples remain as faithfully preserved or as well-documented as this Platinum Silver coupe, particularly those equipped with the factory WS 389 Tri-Power engine, 4-speed gearbox, and desirable air conditioning. This GTO represents a rare opportunity for collectors seeking a documented, factory-authentic example of one of the most significant performance cars of the 1960san icon that continues to define the golden era of Detroit muscle.
