Pontiac GTO 1966

Allmän beskrivning : Flashy Pro Street cars are fun, and polished show queens are nice, but there's really nothing cooler than a well-done resto-mod. Seriously, who doesn't love a classic that looks good on the street AND performs well at the stoplight? No gimmicks, no frills and no posturing; just power and swagger -- LOTS of swagger. This sweet GTO is a sinister stunner that mixes 376 cubic inches of Chevrolet Performance LS3 with a modern driveline, a thoroughly upgraded chassis and a leather-clad, air conditioned cockpit. And if you're looking for some choice muscle that's road ready, show-ready and just plain battle-ready, it's the perfect way to prowl the scene and bruise a few egos!
THE STAR OF THE SCENE
An authentic code 42 GTO that's fresh out of a two-year rotisserie restoration, this legendary Pontiac is a timeless hunk of GM muscle that's clean, mean and ready to roll! That nut-and-bolt rebuild was conducted by a passionate GTO enthusiast who, to date, has between 40 and 50 restorations under his belt -- experience which shines, both figuratively and literally, when you take one look at this coupe's glossy PPG Viper Black two-stage. At the front of that svelte pigment, a stainless-trimmed dual-port grille hangs a prominent 'G T O' badge and spotless parking lamps between a fresh bumper and requisite T3 headlights. At the top of that grille, a long hood centers a small scoop in front of tinted glass that's centered behind stainless frames and a polished driver's mirror. At the sides of that hood, bright fender emblems and muted quarter scripts perfectly complement stainless wheel frames, stainless rocker guards and polished door handles. And at the back of the car, a stainless-trimmed valance bends stylish taillights between bold call-outs, polished exhaust tips and a second fresh bumper.
CONNECT & CRUISE
Purchased as a reliable Connect & Cruise kit straight from Chevrolet Performance, this Poncho's divine GM small block, officially known as the LS376/525, twists respectable 10.7 to 1 compression into 525 horsepower and 486 lb./ft. of torque! At the front of that mill, a polished Spectre air tube funnels cool wind into a proven GM throttle body, which is sequenced to a lightweight GM intake. That air meets spark in rectangular-port L92-style heads, which ride under familiar Corvette rail covers. A nodular crank, powdered connecting rods and hypereutectic pistons compress that volatile union. A racing-inspired ASA cam maximizes intake efficiency through better breathing. Speaking of breathing, that smooth valvetrain funnels spent gases through tame Hooker exhaust manifolds. Lubrication is greatly enhanced by a quality Holley oil pan. A billet CVF serpentine drive spins a polished alternator opposite a polished AC compressor. And there's a proven Cold Case radiator that's slid between two puller fans and a custom expansion tank.
BETTER IN ALL THE RIGHT PLACES
Logging scant miles since its ground-up restoration, this goat's fully rebuilt undercarriage has been thoughtfully upgraded in all the right places. The stout small block commands a new Tremec T56 Magnum 6-speed, which uses a hydraulic McLeod clutch to twist a custom Inland Empire driveshaft. That 3.5-inch, aluminum tube powers a fresh Ford 9-inch axle, which spins a posi-traction differential around sporty, 3.50 gears. That drivetrain rides a restored suspension, which has been upgraded with tubular control arms and QA-1 coil-overs. Power-assisted turns work well with power-assisted stops, achieved through a full roster of The Right Stuff Detailing components that includes 13-inch front rotors, powder-coated calipers and 11.5-inch rear rotors. At the center of the car's solid floors, a throaty Pypes exhaust system hangs an X-shaped crossover in front of aggressive Street Pro mufflers. And everything rolls on chromed Ridler 645s, which spin 225/45ZR18 Sumitomo HTR Z5s in front of 275/35ZR20 Sumitomo HTR Z5s.
COOL AUTHENTIC FEEL
Swing the doors and you'll find a clean leather interior that feels like the perfect place to spend a warm summer evening. Front and center, red-stitched TMI buckets lead a red-stitched, TMI-upholstered bench. The LS3's vitals are displayed by Dakota Digital VHX telemetry, which rides next to Vintage Air climate control and Bluetooth-capable RetroSound audio. Like-new carpet anchors a chrome Hurst shifter behind stainless-trimmed foot pedals. At the sides of the car, pliable door panels mix manual hardware with red-trimmed emblems. The driver spins a brushed steering wheel around a tilting column. And the passengers store essentials in a custom-upholstered trunk.
When it comes to performance, durability and sheer intimidation, nothing beats a good old GM workhorse. And thanks to a high quality, performance-minded restoration, this clean coupe wraps a killer drivetrain in a capable chassis and precise aesthetics. Looking for some standout muscle that'll provide years of great memories? Don't miss the chance to add this sweet GTO to your collection!

om Pontiac
Pontiac, en division av General Motors (GM), hade en distinkt position inom företagets hierarki och spelade en viktig roll i bilhistoria. Här är en översikt över Pontiac historia och några av dess mest ikoniska modeller fram till 1980 -talet:

Position i GM -hierarki:
Särskild identitet: Pontiac ockuperade en unik plats inom GM, känd för sina prestationsorienterade fordon och ungdomlig varumärke.
Midnivåmärke: Placerat ovanför Chevrolet men under de mer exklusiva uppdelningarna som Oldsmobile, Buick och Cadillac syftade Pontiac till att erbjuda prisvärda men ändå sportiga bilar.
Historik och anmärkningsvärda modeller:
Pontiac GTO (1964-1974):
Ikonisk muskelbil: anses vara den första sanna amerikanska muskelbilen, blandning av prestanda och stil.
Specifikationer: V8 -motorer, kraftfull prestanda och aggressiv styling gjorde GTO oerhört populärt.
Pontiac Firebird (1967-1981):
Muskelbil och ponnybil: delade plattformen med Chevrolet Camaro, med distinkta Pontiac -styling -signaler.
Varianter: Erbjuds olika modeller och motoralternativ, inklusive Trans AM, som fick beröm genom filmer som "Smokey and the Bandit."
Pontiac Grand Prix (1962-2008):
Personlig lyxbil: Ursprungligen förvandlades en i full storlek, senare till en medelstor modell, känd för sin blandning av komfort och prestanda.
Evolution: Under åren övergick den från en prestationsorienterad bil till ett mer lyxigt erbjudande.
Pontiac Bonneville (1957-2005):
Flaggskeppsmodell: Startade som en bil i full storlek och utvecklas till ett lyxigt och tekniskt avancerat fordon.
Innovation: Känd för att introducera funktioner som bränsleinsprutning, vilket gör det till en symbol för Pontiacs tekniska framsteg.
Påverkan och arv:
Prestationsbild: Pontiac snidade en nisch för sig själv genom att betona prestanda, sportighet och innovation och locka yngre och entusiastförare.
Marknadsföringsframgång: Innovativa marknadsföringsstrategier och framgångsrika racinginsatser bidrog till Pontiacs popularitet och varumärkesimage.
Produktionens upphörande: Tyvärr, på grund av ekonomiska begränsningar och förändringar i konsumentpreferenser, avbröt GM Pontiac -varumärket 2010 och markerade slutet på sin arv i bilindustrin.
