I was ten when the restyled GTO hit the streets in 1965 with its stacked headlights (leaning slightly forward), split grille, fake hood scoop, wraparound taillights, and dual exhausts. It’s my favorite year of GTO styling, but the restyled, more curvaceous ’66-’67 GTO’s are a close second. One of our school teachers bought a new, black ’66 GTO convertible with a white top and those louvered taillights. It was one boss ride and elevated Miss Pittman to the top of the Cool Teacher List. Here’s a nice, presentable ’67 GTO Hardtop Coupe for your consideration that has quite a bit of originality going for it. It is for sale here on eBay and is currently located in Austin, Texas. In addition to photographs, the seller has also provided a walk-around video with the GTO’s engine running. As of this writing, 27 bids had pushed the top bid to $40,100, but it had not met the seller’s reserve.

The seller doesn’t give us a lot of history and background on this GTO but shares that it “comes with some original papers, was built at the Fremont, California plant and still retains all of its original California smog equipment, quite rare to find these pieces still in place.” Fifteen color choices were available in 1967 and this GTO is wearing the Code N Burgundy paint. Hardtop colors were also available in Starlight Black or Cameo Ivory, but this GTO is a NN, so it sports the Burgundy body and matching top. It had a repaint back in the late 1980s and the seller says it has some imperfections but still shows well. Based on the photos, the paint looks very presentable and the chrome, trim, badging, glass, and Rally II wheels look very good as well. This GTO was ordered with the hood-mounted tachometer which the seller says is a rare option (and looks really cool!)

The Code 223 Black Morrokide interior with its bucket seats and sports console looks inviting and compliments the Burgundy paint very well. The seller describes the interior as being “mostly original and in great shape except for one small seam separation on the driver’s side front bucket seat.” It also has a later AM/FM radio replacement in what Pontiac described as their “simulated walnut-grain instrument panel,” but the original AM radio comes with the car. This GTO also came with factory AC which the seller says “blows cold” and Hagerty’s says adjusts this GTO’s value up 15%. But you’ll also notice that this GTO has an automatic transmission, which Hagerty says reduces the value by 10%.

The photos show a pretty clean engine bays and the GTO’s original 400-cubic inch V8. No information is shared about any rebuilds and the odometer is listed at 34,300. The seller describes it as having the original engine and it being “mechanically sound, car has been well maintained, engine and tranny run great, all electrical is good, brakes work as they should. A real GTO ready to be enjoyed and driven.” So, who’ll be the next caretaker to enjoy and drive this clean-looking 55-year-old Burgundy Beauty? Could it be you?
