if i were doing it all over again... rule 1: absolutely throw NOTHING away, i found that restoring original parts are higher quality than replacement parts. go to pontiac historical services and get your build sheet and window sticker, Next, gut it out, get an air compressor with a sand blaster attachment. Move your residence a couple of times, it just seems to work out that way. Every paychecby blood shot scott - Pontiac GTO Forum
cool, is that all? goat for it, especially with its sentimental value. being in covered storage is a bonus!by blood shot scott - Pontiac GTO Forum
i recommend giving Pontiac Historical Services your VIN number and purchasing their documentation and window sticker to identify exactly how your car was delivered to the dealer, it should be there, unless it was dealer installed upon purchase or upgraded, but likely it would be on the docs. go to this link warning: having the documents might start an addiction to total restoration.by blood shot scott - Pontiac GTO Forum
from my understanding (im not an expert, but only a pontiac fan), the 421 super duty is the holy grail of pontiac performance motors, it is to pontiac freaks as the 426 hemi is to mopar freaks. with it being the tri-power option, it might even have the premium heads also. got octane? by posting this message, you may have created new competition on your bidding!by blood shot scott - Pontiac GTO Forum
what's worse is that pontiac calls it "The Great One", what's up with that? that would be TGO!!, i like the term Gas, Tires, Oil in that order, my girlfriend thinks that muscle cars are for redneck beer drinkers and she says GTO stands for "GHETTO". women. sheesh.by blood shot scott - Pontiac GTO Forum
way to go, i would give 5k for a real convertible gto any day, the VIN tag was worth it alone. if it has doors and a hood and that damned left headlight bezel, that is only a bonus, go nuts, you will be glad you did.by blood shot scott - Pontiac GTO Forum
Congratulations on your taste, i believe the year 66 is the best for GTO, i have just finished a 2 1/2 year - $20,000 restoration on my 66 GTO. It is a car very worthy of the effort to restore to exact original condition, it is an important piece of history that is only defaced by any modifications. If you want to restore your 66 GTO, try to buy a numbers matching and unmolested car to begin wiby blood shot scott - Pontiac GTO Forum
