Description : Gateway classic cars of Nashville is pleased to digitally present to you this 1966 Pontiac GTO. Now the term GOAT gets thrown around a lot these days. Like " This quarterback is the GOAT." But those of us old enough to remember when music was good, knows that there is only one, GTO! Detroit pumped out a lot of muscle cars in the 60's and 70's most of them where subtle but not the GTO, it was in your face and the thump of the cam was a lot like what we call trash talk. Gas, Tires and Oil is what we used to reckon GTO meant but we were wrong about this and I believe that the young generation has this one right, GTO means GOAT and this 1966 GTO has been painted a slick color that I call arrest me red. Makes one wonder how many times an Officer of the peace stood beside the drivers door and read the riot act to some young person behind the steering wheel while they sat on black vinyl buckets seats with center console. Under the hood is a potent Pontiac power plant, see what I did there? The 455 Cubic inch big block has been treated to some horsepower goodies like H.E.I ignition, single plane semi high rise intake, Edlebrock 4 barrel carb and Hedman headers to name a few. With AC, power steering and brakes this car is ready to cruise your favorite boulevard and teach the next generation the real meaning of the word GOAT. Options for this 1966 Pontiac GTO includes: Air conditioning, AM/FM, Seat belts, Vinyl interior and 5 spoke chrome rims.
