HELLO, UP FOR AUCTION IS A REAL DEAL 1966 GTO TRIPOWER 4 SPEED CONVERTIBLE WITH 81,000 ORIGINAL MILES; ONE OF THE MOST DESIRABLE AND ICONIC MUSCLECARS IN PERFORMANCE CAR HISTORY. THIS UNMOLESTED ORIGINAL CAR HAS BEEN IN DRY BARN STORAGE SINCE 1976, WITH ONE FAMILY OWNING THE CAR SINCE 1968. THE ORIGINAL PROTECTOPLATE, BUILD SHEET AND PONTIAC HISTORIC SOCIETY DOCS CERTIFY THIS CAR TO BE ONE OF THE RARE FULLY DOCUMENTED "WS" CODE 360 HP FACTORY TRI POWER CARS , NOT A LOW HORSEPOWER CAR WITH 3 CARBS INSTALLED. 1966 IS THE LAST YEAR FOR THIS ULTIMATE FACTORY PERFORMANCE OPTION. AS FOR CONDITION, NEW BRAKE HYDRAULICS, EXHAUST, FRESH POINTS AND FUEL WAS ALL THAT WAS NEEDED TO ALLOW IT TO RUN, SHIFT AND YARD DRIVE. THE ORIGINAL TRIPOWER SET UP LOOKS AND SOUNDS INCREDIBLE. THE FRAME, ORIGINAL GM BODY PANELS, FLOORS AND INTERIOR ARE IN AMAZING CONDITION FOR THEIR AGE.THIS IS ONE OF THE NICEST UNDERCARRIAGES I HAVE SEEN ON AN UNRESTORED CAR! THE TRIM TAG AND PHS DOCS SHOW THE CAR TO BE ORIGINALLY R CODE MONTERO RED WITH BLACK TOP AND BLACK INTERIOR. THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED IN 1973 WITH A NOM 68 PONTIAC LONGBLOCK WHILE RETAINING THE FACTORY TRIPOWER SETUP, M20 TRANS, ORIGINAL HURST SHIFTER AND 355 POSI REAR. THIS CAR HAS THE RIGHT EQUIPMENT, COLOR AND MOSTLY RUST FREE SHEETMETAL CONDITION TO BE AN AWESOME DRIVER ALL THE WAY UP TO AN INVESTMENT GRADE SURVIVOR CAR RESTORATION AT MUCH LOWER THAN TYPICAL EXPENSE. PHS DOCS SHOW THAT ONLY 13% OF 66 GTO'S WERE CONVERTIBLES AND ONLY 20% OF THOSE TO BE REAL TRIPOWER CARS, MAKING THIS WELL DOCUMENTED FACTORY RED 4SPD GOAT EXTREMELY DESIRABLE AND WORTH OWNING.
