1966 Pontiac GTO Additional Info:

This 1966 Pontiac GTO has a Tri-Power 389ci V8 and4-speed manual. It was originally a 4bbl car, but a tripower was swapped in. The engine was rebuilt by the previous owner in 2001. $40k onthe car in2005, including a $15k repaint in the original Montero Red. Other work included installing new carpets, seat upholstery, trunk liner, shocks, bushings, an MSD ignition, and aftermarket headers. Powered features include the top, steering, and brakes.This GTO is sold with records of the refurbishment, PHS documentation (Pontiac Historical Society), and a clean Illinois title.
Interior work performed in 2005 consisted of addingnew upholstery, carpets, and trunk liner material. Modifications include a Hurst shifter, a vintage Motorola Solid State 8-Track player, and a Pontiac-branded vacuum gauge mounted on the center console.
The car shows 46k miles but I believe it might have rolled over once.

New shocks, suspension bushings, and wheel bearings were installed in 2005 along with headers and MSD ignition.

The car came from California, and there is no rust.
