Description : Gateway Classic Cars of Dallas is excited to present this sharp 1966 Pontiac GTO Convertible 4 Speed with Air Conditioning!

This 1966 Pontiac GTO convertible occupies some seriously rarified automotive air. Not only would it be considered an undisputed member of muscle car nobility simply by virtue of its identity, to begin with, but it also features its correct engine to go along with its offering of open-air driving exhilaration, and comes complete with PHS documentation to prove its authenticity. On top of that, it's also a bona fide award winner - garnering an impressive collection of hardware in a variety of car shows. The GTO started off as an option package for Pontiac's Tempest before receiving the distinction of becoming a separate model the very year this one came out and was counted upon to capture a share of the younger market, which had an undeniable infatuation with speed. You notice right away that this is a broad, sturdy-looking car, with an engine compartment capable of handling a big block with ease. The Montero red paint on this classic looks great, providing more than its share of flash and even coloring sitting underneath a great clearcoat that produces a strong shine from all angles. It received an extensive, ground-up restoration to look as it does, and when the time came to put the pieces back together, that also was done with care, as this is a very well-aligned car from front to back. Its extensive array of clean chrome, ranging from the front and back bumpers to its trim, also adds to the strong impression this Pontiac makes at the first glance. Sitting up above, its power black vinyl convertible top is in good condition and raises into place for protection against unforgiving weather. Inside, a very clean black vinyl interior awaits. It's been restored while retaining its original configuration, so both the wide bucket seats up front and the bench seat in back feature the same textured surfaces they began life with and show only light wear. There's fresh-looking black carpeting sitting underneath, punctuated by a pair of branded GTO floor mats up front. One very nice dividend of the GTO's ample size is the generous amount of legroom in the back - this will make for very happy passengers when you take this beauty out on the road. Just beyond the woodgrain Pontiac steering wheel, the quartet of gauges in the cluster are surrounded by woodgrain paneling, joined by another trio sitting to the front of the center console. The spacious trunk area is impressively tidy, lined with new-looking fabric and a full-size spare sitting off to the side. Very much in keeping with Pontiac's original performance-minded intent, its date code correct YS code 389 cubic inch V8 sits underneath the hood, its power output amplified by the trio of 2-barrel carbs sitting on top -GM's revolutionary Tri-Power configuration which is also correct for this car. Sounding very healthy and pulling strong, the engine mates with a Muncie M21 4-speed transmission for a great, "hands-on" driving experience, along with Chilly Modern AC keeping you comfortable in hot summers. In the back, the 3.23 Safe-T-Track limited slip rear end strikes a great balance - providing admirable off-the-line acceleration with reasonably low highway speed RPMs that would be completely out of the reach of more drastically equipped muscle cars. Outfitted with power brakes and power steering, this is an easy-driving, open-air classic that you'll actually look forward to getting behind the wheel of, and it sits on a set of 15" Cragar rims outfitted with BF Goodrich T/A radials that still show nearly all of their tread. With its outstanding vintage looks and power, this 1966 Pontiac is a real find. Call today!

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.
