This 1966 Pontiac GTO convertible underwent a refurbishment completed in 2014 that is noted to have involved rebuilding the 389ci V8, installing a tri-power induction system, and retrofitting a Muncie M20 four-speed manual transmission. Repainted in Montero Red, the car features a power-operated white convertible top as well as stacked headlights and a dual exhaust system. Inside, the front bucket seats and rear bench are trimmed in Parchment vinyl and accompanied by a Delco AM/FM radio, a heater, and a center console. Further equipment includes power steering, power-assisted drum brakes, 14″ Rally I wheels, and a Safe-T-Track differential. The car was acquired by the seller in 2016, and the Rochester carburetors are said to have been rebuilt in 2024. This GTO is now offered in Golden, Colorado, with a Protect-O-Plate, an owner’s manual, a reproduction window sticker, PHS Automotive Services documentation, service records, and a collection of awards and other memorabilia as well as a clean Colorado title in the name of the seller’s spouse. Originally finished in Nightwatch Blue (E), the car has been repainted in Montero Red and fitted with a replacement power-operated white convertible top. A hood scoop, stacked headlights, dual side mirrors, GTO badging, and chrome trim on the grille, bumpers, window surrounds, and rocker panels are further details. Painted 14″ Rally I wheels feature polished trim rings and center caps and are mounted with Firestone Super Sports Sup-R-Belt redline tires measuring F70-14. The car is equipped with power steering as well as a stabilizer bar, and braking is handled by power-assisted drums. The shocks, springs, and brake cylinders were replaced as part of the 2014 refurbishment, according to the seller. The cabin houses front bucket seats and a rear bench upholstered in parchment vinyl, which extends to the door panels. Woodgrain time accents the interior, and equipment includes a Delco AM/FM radio, a heater, and lap belts. Work performed as part of the 2014 refurbishment is said to have included reconditioning the seat upholstery and replacing the wiring harness. The three-spoke wood-rimmed steering wheel is paired with a floor-mounted shifter and console that were added at the time of the transmission change. Instrumentation consists of a 120-mph speedometer, a clock, and a fuel-level gauge as well as warning lights for the battery, oil pressure, and temperature. The five-digit odometer shows 52k miles, approximately 1k of which have been added under current ownership. The speedometer cable was replaced as part of the refurbishment work, and true mileage is thus unknown. The 389ci V8 is equipped with 093 cylinder heads and has been fitted with a tri-power induction system featuring three Rochester two-barrel carburetors. The engine was rebuilt as part of the 2014 refurbishment. Additional work performed at that time reportedly involved performing a valve job and boiling the fuel tank in addition to replacing the following components: Alternator Starter Choke Radiator Water and fuel pumps Fuel tank sending unit Dual exhaust system The carburetors were rebuilt in 2024, according to the seller. Power is routed to the rear wheels through a Muncie M20 four-speed manual transmission that was installed in place of the factory automatic unit under previous ownership. A Safe-T-Track differential is equipped out back. The transmission is noted to have been rebuilt prior to installation, and a replacement clutch assembly was also reportedly fitted at that time. The underbody is also said to have been sandblasted and refinished at the time of the 2014 refurbishment.
