Description : Gateway Classic Cars of Tampa is proud to offer this Resto-Mod 1969 Pontiac GTO. This is a real "242" tagged GTO that has been extensively modified as a mean street/strip bruiser. The seller is all about the Indian and decided nothing but a Poncho-based V8 will sit between the fenders. So, a 532ci V8 was sourced from Kaufman Racing Equipment. Kaufman is known for making monstrous Pontiac based power and this V8 was stuffed with all the racing goodies such as: forged rotating assembly, ported aluminum heads, with oversized valves, a high-rise intake manifold, headers, and MSD ignition. This combo is good for an estimated 700+hp and it sounds the business. All this power is restrained with upgraded disk brakes at all four corners including wildwood 4 piston brakes in the rear. Power is put to the rear wheels through a 'built' Turbo 400 automatic, slapping power to the ground via a Moser 9" rear end with Strange, splined rear axles. Handling is enhanced with tubular upper and lower control arms up front, and a tubular 4-link locating the Moser axle out back. No matter how fancy the suspension, it doesn't mean a thing if it can be applied to the ground. That's addressed with a set of black, staggered Foose wheels with ultra-wide meaty tires at all four corners - 275/40/17 tires up front and WIDE 315/35/18s out back! The Foose wheels complement the dark blue body and black bucket and counseled interior. This GTO is a monster and ready to tear up the strip or cruise the streets; breaking necks wherever it goes. If you're a GTO fan and want to spread the Poncho faith to the masses, this is the GOAT for you!
