1966 Pontiac GTO 455 Test Drive

This 1966 Pontiac GTO convertible was acquired by the current owner in 2003 and subsequently refinished in white, reupholstered in black, and mechanically overhauled with the installation of a 455ci V8, a Richmond Super T10 four-speed manual transmission, a Currie 9″ rear end, Wilwood four-wheel disc brakes, and Global West control arms. Additional equipment includes a black soft top, power steering, 16″ YearOne Rally II wheels, a side-exit exhaust system, a Hurst shifter, an aftermarket AM/FM radio, and a heater. The tires and battery were replaced in preparation for the sale. This GTO is now offered on dealer consignment with an additional engine, a removed set of wheels, and a clean Oregon title.

Perfect song for muscle car owners! No radio. Just the pure symphony of the engine. The exhaust. The downshift. And ....Everyone looking at you when you light up the tires. ❤❤❤❤❤ Love it!!

[@_911r]

Glad you like it!

[@AlejandroRamirez-vl8mr]

that rev matching downshifting sounds so violently glorious!

[@applejuice9468]

Whoever this is, you are actually him!!! You are actually driving these cars as they were intended. Not just little boy peewee herman burnouts, but genuine cornering, shifting, and performing

[@retiredinbali9565]

Had a '67 Goat in 1972 while in high school. This brings back many sweet memories. Thanks.

[@Rollercoaster555]

Finally somebody that knows how to downshift Nice job man real nice

[@mrhasfun]

My dad had a late 60s GTO which he sold shortly after I was born in 81. I can only imagine him driving that beast during his bachelor days....man, my dad was cool.

[@mrhasfun]

I keep coming back to this video when I think of my dad. Thank you so very much for sharing it 🙂

[@_911r]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Bryant-kf6qp]

This thing sounds like a absolute beast ❤

[@AnthonyPsomas]

Great vid!! Nice throwback for me as my first car was a 67 GTO that I had while in HS in 1979. Fun times with that car!

[@_911r]

[@vannjunkin8041]

Good ol torqy Pontiacs

[@vrm86gt]

Sounds good!

[@victormonteiro1717]

I took my driver's license test in my brother's 66 GTO back in 1972. It had the 389 engine with a 4bbl carburetor and 2spd powerglide transmission. In 74 I replaced the stock carburetor with a Holley 750 dual feed carburetor and a dual point distributor and tuned it up. Burned some serious rubber and I would shift it manually out of low at 60mph. Fast car and fun times.😎

[@user-fq8gt5gp3l]

The 389 with the powerglide was an awesome setup. I had the ‘65 the same way.

[@victormonteiro1717]

@@user-fq8gt5gp3l Nice😎👍

[@backroom12]

Hell ya !!!!!

[@rebeljack1860]

Street sceaming GTO ...... thats what I like ....... back in the early 70s ... I owned two 67 GTOs .... sorry to say I now own a 392 scat pak wide body street screaming Challenger.

[@michaelreilly1310esq]

Not the same unfortunately

[@gordonmohr2268]

you have a lot of faith in those brakes

[@michaelsjolin9203]

The aggressive way you drove this car from the start makes this video worth watching. BooYah!!

[@GraysonLeDuc-ee8gf]

I have a 1966 Pontiac gto 380

[@michaelreilly1310esq]

Okay imagine this car running against Steve McQueen’s Mustang. Oh Dear Lord the beautiful masculine sounds of the American V8’s when punched and getting angry. No rice burner trash will ever come close

[@AndrewNguyenOfficial]

Damn, I had no idea these cars sounded so good. Also, was this by chance filmed in Portland, Oregon? The landscape looks so familiar haha.

[@_911r]

That is correct, that is where our first location is.

[@curtpozzi5527]

Specs please. What engine, cam, hp/ftp ,intake, exhaust manifolds or headers. I have my dad's 78' T/A 4speed W72 6.6. Gotta rebuild this motor. I got the 4X heads with 2.11 intake and likely 1.66 exhaust valves. Did you run the 1/4 mile and if so what E/It's? This car of yours looks like it hooks in real good. My uncle had a 67 GTO convertible with a 400. I like the 66 louvered tail lights!

[@peterhanson3391]

Sure wish we could have seen a shot of the car.

[@Johncourt409]

That throaty growl was worth watching the clip. Does anyone know the stats on this car? Wasn’t the 455 an Oldsmobile engine or was it a GM product?

[@mckeanbrosoffroad150]

Chevy had the 454, Buick, and Pontiac had 455's but they were all different engines. All 3 designed their own engines.

[@gedfullman2609]

Nice Goat. But the exhaust sounds like ASS!!!!! Don’t pipe that thing like the a kids car!! Jeeeeeez

[@kenprice1961]

Once you start adding all "new" stuff to a CLASSIC car, it is forever RUINED. A 1966 Goat NEVER had a 455 engine, or a T10 trans or 4 wheel discs, side exit exhaust....etc..etc...No longer a 1066 CLASSIC.
