If you're a fan of style, peed and swagger, ou simply can't go wrong with Pontiac's storied GTO. The goat practically defined the golden age of Detroit, nd by the time its first production run was over, t had become the best-selling muscle car of all time. Not surprisingly, emand for these cornerstone classics continues to be strong, nd in the first half of 2015 we shipped five awesome GTOs to five very satisfied owners. The beneficiary of a recent rotisserie restoration, his documented, ational award-winning hardtop is likely one of the nicest Pontiacs we've ever featured. With a numbers-matching drivetrain, olid, ostly original sheetmetal and a correct triple black color combination, t's the perfect turnkey muscle car for anyone who enjoys cruising fast, ide and loud. And if you're looking for an impressive classic that'll roll straight out of the showroom and right on to the show field, t's your chance to grab a tiger by the tail!
BODYWORK/TRIM
Fresh out of a no-holds-barred reboot that wrapped up in May of 2014, his super cool A-Body is a perfect blend of good craftsmanship and great attention to detail. Originally sold in Westfield, assachusetts, he car was discovered by its current owner, '64 GTO purist, n Waycross, eorgia. After roughly 25 years of enjoyment, hat owner initiated a 2-year, otisserie restoration that fitted the coupe with a fresh pair of quarters and meticulously straightened its profile to better-than-new condition. Once that comprehensive metalwork transitioned from the garage bay to the paint booth, lassic '60s panels were re-sprayed in correct Starlight Black PPG. When that paint dried, correct vinyl roof capped a hearty layer of clear, hich had been buffed to a clean, lat shine. And today, fficially unleashed as the epitome of old school American style, his goat is one seriously cool head turner that grabs trophies just as easily as it drops jaws.
ENGINE
Pop the car's sculpted hood and the first thing you'll notice is a 389 cubic inch Trophy V8 that's been completely rebuilt and wrapped in attractive Turquoise skin. Less obvious, f course, s that stalwart mill's correct 9773155 casting number, pril (D) 2nd (2), 964 (4) casting date and 348 horsepower, anual transmission-exclusive "76X" assembly stamp. At the top of the block, correct Rochester Tri-power setup bridges the gap between polished air cleaners, right stainless fluid lines and a correct, ast iron intake. That intake rides between correct heads, hich hang hardened valve seats and attractive valve covers over a flat-tappet cam and GM NOS pistons. A familiar points distributor jolts spark through pliable plug wires. Cooling is provided by a heavy duty Harrison radiator, hich sends water around a correct fan via GM-branded hoses and traditional tower clamps. Charge comes courtesy of a rebuilt GM alternator and reproduction Delco battery. Charred dinosaurs float through a nice pair of restored exhaust manifolds. And aesthetically, he impressive engine is fully detailed, rom its correct tags and vivid decals all the way to its yellow carb spring and appropriate grease marks.
DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION
Logging few miles since their thorough restoration, his goat's carefully repaired floors and super clean frame are completely free of significant issues and major defects. The stout 389 sends power to a stalwart Muncie transmission, hich hangs a correct 3851325 casting number in front of a Muncie (P) assembled on February (02) 26th (26), 964 build stamp. That proven gearbox spins a tough GM 10-bolt, hich twists a posi-trac differential around big, .90 gears. At the sides of that rock-solid drivetrain, luminized, rue-dual exhaust pipes connect the aforementioned manifolds with tough turbo mufflers. At the sides of that booming soundtrack, rebuilt and tagged suspension is complete with factory power steering and power drum brakes. Muscle meets the pavement through 14-inch steelies, hich spin 205/75 BF Goodrich Silvertown Radial redlines around deluxe wheel covers. And absolutely everything, rom this Poncho's fresh stainless fuel tank to its clean Turquoise oil pan, s fully sorted and ready to be scored!

The engine's vitals are displayed by a rebuilt gauge cluster, hich integrates an optional tachometer into a correctly padded dash that's complete with engine-turned trim and a correct Delco radio. On the floors, ike-new carpet anchors a simple shifter and stylish, hrome-trimmed console between thick, ontiac-themed floor mats and classy, isher-themed sills. At the sides of the car, resh door panels hang new chrome handles under straight stainless trim and monochromatic Pontiac insignias. In front of the driver, Custom Sport Steering Wheel spins a faux wood rim around a red, ontiac-branded horn button.
