400 HO Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 Well I took the plunge and bought my all time favorite car.. 1967 Pontiac GTO. I've wanted one ever since I was 6. I found this on e-bay and after "proper discussion with the wife" drove to Des Moines Iowa Thursday to pick it up. It needs a little TLC.. but not too much. 1st thing I'll be doing is pulling out that bench seat and auto and putting in some buckets and a 4 speed. I'll be seeing you guys soon. Here are some pics: http://damicosite.homestead.com/files/top.jpg http://damicosite.homestead.com/files/side.jpg http://damicosite.homestead.com/files/engine.jpg http://damicosite.homestead.com/files/front.jpg http://damicosite.homestead.com/files/interior.jpg http://damicosite.homestead.com/files/back.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1647545494 Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 you need a lot of shit to convert it to a 4speed luckily for you almost all of it is aviliable reproduction. get a muncie if you can find it the saginaw trans won't last week behind a good solid 389. nice car smile.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What engine does it have, and what options?This is the best part..... I only paid $11,600 for it!!! I got if off E-Bay. The guy listed it as a "No Reserve" auction. He was pissed when it only went for 11,600. It is 98% ORIGINAL!! It's got an original 400 (not the actual one that came with the car, but it is a documented #'s matching 1967 GTO 400.) It puts out 335hp stock, but it's got a new Edlebrock 750cfm 4 barrel and a new Edlebrock Performer intake so I'm hoping for something around 360 +!! It also has headers (not sure what type) dual Turbo exhausts, and this thing is SOLID!!!!! Hardly any rust what so ever!! No rust in the body pannels (doors, fenders, trunk ect..) I may need to replace the gas tank.. but I'm going to drop it tomorrow and see how it looks. Someone told me that original bench seat column shift GTO's are very rare! Something like only 60 were made (that's what I heard.. I can't confirm it). I'm thinking about converting it to a 4 speed, but I want to talk to a few Pontiac experts on how rare the bench seat option was back then. I'll definatly bee seeing you guys out on the streets. Thanks for all the compliments.. (You ought to see all old guys 50+ come over to me and tell me all the "Back in my day..." stories. I had the chance to buy a 2004 GTO, but I decided to go with this one instead. It's got more "personality" and history than these new ones. I am a very happy man right now!!!!!
