The 1966 Pontiac GTO with its Tri-Power/4 speed combo is fun, and what if it restored more of this stunning look?


1966 Pontiac GTO

This 1966 Pontiac GTO is claimed to be a real 4-speed, but I think the desirable Tri-Power setup has been added. The seller claims that the engine ran a year ago and isn’t locked up. This Goat looks so rusty though that it is hard to imagine that someone put time and money into the engine before addressing the body. Maybe it’s not really as bad as it looks though. The seller mentions a few pinholes in the floors, but that the frame is solid. It’s located in Nabb, Indiana and is listed here on eBay with about a day of bidding left.

Crusty Interior

Things look pretty crusty, but perhaps the paint is just peeling off. The fact that the photos were taken at dusk probably doesn’t help matters either.

Tri-Power Setup

There’s the engine with that triple carb setup. The seller doesn’t give us many details besides the fact that it’s not seized.

Some Rust

This is going to be a big project, but I’m hopeful that it’s not really as bad as it looks. This GTO would look good restored to its original Marina Turquoise over Turquoise color scheme and the Tri-Power/4-speed combo would be a lot of fun too. You’ll have a long road to get there, but it might just be worth it!
