1966 Pontiac GTO

Up for sale in the Houston showroom is one gorgeous luxury muscle car, the 1966 Pontiac GTO. The Pontiac GTO is an automobile that was built by Pontiac from 1964 to 1974. The first generation GTO was a muscle car of the 1960s and 1970s era. Although there were earlier muscle cars, the Pontiac GTO is considered by some to have started the trend with all four domestic automakers offering a variety of competing models. In 1966 the GTO became its own model until 1972. In 1973 GTO became an option again but for the Le Mans.In 1974 GTO then became an option on the Ventura. The GTO became a separate Pontiac model (model number 242 found at th beginning of the VIN) in 1966, instead of being an "option package" on the Tempest LeMans. Pontiac's intermediate line was restyled, gaining more curvaceous styling with kicked-up rear fender lines for a "Coke-bottle" look, and a slightly "tunneled" backlight. The tail light featured a rare louvered cover, only seen on the GTO. Engine and carburetor choices were the same as the previous year, with the Tri Power option as seen being king of course. The TH400 3 speed automatic backed the big numbers matching 389ci engine. New Strato bucket seats were introduced with higher and thinner seat backs and contoured cushions for added comfort and adjustable headrests were introduced as a new option.
