Dubbed âThe GOATâ, The Pontiac Lemans GTO is arguably one of the greatest cars in American history and widely debated for being credited as Americaâs first true muscle car!

Road ready with Saf-T-Track rear running 3:55 gears, added front disc brakes with drums in the rear.
Painted in beautiful period correct âReef Turquoiseâ with matching âReef Turquoiseâ dawning the interior giving this car that beach boys vibe of the mid-sixties!

A RARE commodity thatâs a unicorn even at the largest of swap meets! Donât miss your chance to own a piece of history in this ever-soaring market!
