The undercarriage is very clean but not fully restored.
The professionally rebuilt 428/370 HP engine is what makes the car unique, nd as referenced in the Sept/Oct 2007 issue of Pontiac Enthusiast's Magazine, akes this car special in that it "embodies the spirit of the era when horsepower and street cred were important." The engine is a date coded to be that of a 1969 429/370HP Grand Prix SJ engine with a XF block and 4 bolt mains. It is speculated that the engine may have been swapped out at or near the time of the original delivery of the car at the request of the buyer to get around the GM factory limitations on the GTO engine in order to drive more horsepower and torque. The car was originally built in Baltimore, nd originally sold by Otten Pontiac in Commack, Y.
The engine was rebuilt in 2008 by 1st Performance/Brooks Racing in Mesa, Z. There a less than 5,000 miles on the engine since the rebuild, hich included a Ram Air III cam, eith Black hypereutectic pistons, nd 4 bolt mains. Also new to the Goat at the time of the engine rebuild was a cooling system, hocks, way bar, arpet, glass windowed convertible top, enses, hrome trim and Flowmaster exhaust.
The car spent most of its life in California, nd was located in AZ for over 5 years prior to me purchasing the car in 2008. I have put only a few thousand miles on the car, nd it presently has approximately 69,000 original miles.
This beautiful GTO starts easily, uns strong, nd does not overheat. It is a real torque monster that is a lot of fun to drive - especially when the top is down. This American classic would be a great addition to any classic car collection, nd is sure to only increase in value.
