1966 Pontiac GTO Convertible – Documented Tri-Power/4-Speed Factory Example
This meticulously restored 1966 Pontiac GTO convertible is a rare, factory-documented Tri-Power/4-speed example, featuring the coveted WS-code 389ci V8 with three-carburetor induction, rated at 360 horsepower and 424 lb-ft of torque. Originally equipped with a limited-slip 3.90 rear axle, special-order Copper Blaze Metallic paint, AM radio, center console, and wood-grain interior trim, this GTO has been thoughtfully upgraded with factory-correct options, including:
-
Functional Ram Air induction (a rare factory option in ’66)
-
Power steering and brakes
-
Correct AM/FM radio
-
Tilt steering column
-
Red plastic fender liners
The numbers-matching drivetrain pairs the Tri-Power 389 V8 with a 4-speed manual transmission, delivering an authentic muscle car experience. The striking Copper Blaze Metallic finish is confirmed as the car’s original special-order color, verified by the cowl tag.
Inside, the restored interior features a wood-grain steering wheel, Rally Gauge cluster with in-dash tachometer, and pristine real wood dash trim. Additional upgrades include a new convertible top, top pump, hydraulic lines, rams, and full wiring harness replacement, ensuring reliability alongside its show-quality presentation.
One of only 12,798 GTO convertibles produced in 1966 (out of a record 96,496 units), this example stands out with its rare factory options, documented Tri-Power setup, and desirable 4-speed manual. The addition of Ram Air enhances both performance and authenticity, making this GTO a true collector’s gem.
Award-ready, meticulously detailed, and ready to drive—this is a premium example of Pontiac’s legendary muscle car.
