1971 Pontiac GTO

For sale in our Louisville showroom is this gorgeous 1971 Pontiac GTO. The Pontiac GTO is considered by some to have started the trend with all four domestic automakers offering a variety of competing models. The name, which was DeLorean's idea, was inspired by the Ferrari 250 GTO, the successful race car. It is an Italian abbreviation for Gran Turismo Omologato. Originally built in the last week of December of 1970, this awesome GTO has been restored to its former glory. The 400 CID engine has been gone through, by professional engine builder Jack Boyd, it retains the stock intake and exhaust manifolds. Dyno results put this power, plant at 330 hp with 450+ ft-lbs of torque. Dyno documentation is available upon request. The engine has less than 100 miles since the rebuild, and it is mated to the factory turbo 400 automatic. Power is then sent to a 3.23 geared rear end. A “Humbler Exhaust System” has been added to the GTO. This is a limited factory option that was offered for a short time in late 1970 and early ’71. It is an operator controlled vacuum system that will open baffles in the mufflers for a more aggressive sound. The exterior of the car has been repainted to the original factory Castillian Bronze Metallic color and looks better than the day it rolled off the showroom floor. The interior has been hand stitched in a combination of Sienna Brown and Saddlewood. An AM/FM/CD player is hidden in the glove compartment that sends the music through a combination of Rockford Fosgate and Polk Audio components. The factory AC system is complete, but will need to be charged before being used. A large binder of receipts comes with this car documenting the restoration. Options for this 1971 Pontiac GTO include; AC (needs recharging), AM/FM Radio with CD player, manual brakes, power steering, seat belts, vinyl interior, and factory rally wheels with BF Goodrich radial tires. If you’re ready to cruise worry free and have fun doing it then this is the car for you.
