Amidst the automotive fervor of 1967, Pontiac’s GTO roared onto the scene, experiencing a surge in production with over 75,000 units shipped, a testament to its enduring legacy as a muscle car icon.
Featuring a formidable four-barrel engine pumping out 335 horsepower, the GTO lineup also boasted a limited run of approximately 20,500 units equipped with the potent Tri-Power engine, delivering an impressive 360 horsepower.
As enthusiasts eagerly await the validation of its authenticity through PHS documentation, the presence of the Tri-Power setup, alongside other original components, adds an irresistible allure to this storied vehicle.
Despite evident signs of wear and the need for restoration, the GTO presents a promising project. Rust is present, hinting at its storage history, yet remains within manageable limits. Prospective buyers are advised to conduct a thorough inspection, particularly of the undercarriage, to assess restoration needs accurately.
Listed on eBay without a reserve, bidding for the GTO has already surpassed $4,500, with growing interest anticipated as the auction progresses. As the deadline approaches and more details, such as the pending PHS report, emerge, the final price is expected to soar, reflecting the model’s desirability among enthusiasts.
