Few American muscle cars command as much respect and admiration as the 1967 Pontiac GTO, which has cemented its place in automotive history as an American muscle icon.

Fast forward to the present day, and enthusiasts are finding innovative ways to breathe new life into classics of all types, giving rise to the Restomod movement that combines classic vehicles with modern automotive performance and engineering. The result is nothing short of automotive poetry.

This 1967 Pontiac GTO Convertible stands as one such example, and an expertly crafted one at that. On the outside, the ever iconic appearance of the GTO Convertible remains, however, this GTO is equipped with a monster 6.2L LS3 V8 which features an LS9 camshaft, allowing it to produce a total of 517 Horsepower.

 A 4L65 Automatic transmission send power to a 3.72 Safe-T-Trac rear end. The sound of the LS3 roars powerfully through a full Hooker exhaust system, while a Cold Case radiator keeps the system cool.

The body and frame are in an incredible condition, and the car is stylishly finished in a  monotone gold with a matching gold vinyl interior. A new convertible pump ensures smooth top down operation, and the original interior details have been kept intact to maintain the authentic experience of driving this American legend.

Additionally, This 67 GTO Convertible Restomod is equipped with several additional features that modernize its handling and performance. These features include a Hotchkis  Suspension with tubular control arms, a CCP 12 to 1 ratio steering box, disc brakes all around, and a Vintage Air A/C system, upgraded from factory.

This 1967 GTO Convertible Restomod is one that exemplifies the passion and ingenuity of the Restomod movement, successfully combining of one of the most iconic American muscle cars with cutting edge modern performance to create an unforgettable driving experience that shouldn't be missed by any enthusiast. 

George Pehanick's Take:

I bought Goldie in June of 2017. I found the car in Houston, Tx. I was looking for a good, clean, straight nicely optioned convertible. I’ve always liked the 67 GTO’s in the monotone color combo’s. I’ve owned two Red-Red, two Mariner Turquoise-Turquoise, two Blue-Blue and of course the extremely rare White-White. I came across the Gold-Gold car and loved the look. What appealed to me was the fact that it had factory Air Conditioning. I love the rarity of classic muscle cars that were ordered with factory Air Conditioning. I had the car inspected by a couple collector friends down in Houston. They went through it and gave it the thumbs up. So I bought it. Shortly after and before I could get it shipped Houston was devastated by Hurricane Harvey. Fortunately Goldie was in a ‘high ground’ neighborhood and was safe and sound. It was still a month or two before I could get her transported. When I got her, I was delighted. She was as represented Clean, straight, rust free, good chrome and stainless. A near perfect interior. After roughly a year I decided she was a keeper and it was worthy of the Restomod expense. I spent a lot of money on her, building her ‘right’. I did change the original Rally II wheels to the simple body colored wheels with the ‘poverty cap’ sleeper look. I love Goldie, I really shouldn’t be selling her.
