[@craigpennington1251]

My 66 GTO had the 428 H.O. engine with a 4 speed manual 12 bolt 4:10:1 posi. Original engine was swapped out. Best thing that ever happened. Outstanding performance & never a breakdown & good mileage when driven proper. Loved that car. Best one I ever had. Pontiac used to make some awesome rides. Too bad it's all gone.

[@Gladiator19701st]

You sir are owning a piece of muscle car history that not many will ever understand to appreciate as the millennial generation has seen things where it is nothing but battery operated vehicles. This car is in great shape for it's age.

[@DezzysSpeedShop]

I’m a millennial and all I own are classic cars

[@ytwhite5930]

You're absolutely right;This is basically the equivilant to a 67 SS427(not impala).It even has fender louvers to set it apart from other pontiacs.You have found a really cool example of the 2+2...This one has a 4spd. rare,rare,rare.

I am a staunch 1970-'72 2 door C body Plymouth/Chrysler guy, but this is an absolutely gorgeous 'ole muscle car, to be sure!

[@dionrau5580]

I found one of those in a used car lot, back when it was probably nine or ten years old, blue rag top, don't remember if it had the same rims, I talked my way into a test drive...man I wanted it.... but I was only 15 years old and I couldn't get dad onboard with the deal, think I remember they wanted three fifty $ for it, had some light whiskey dents but it was worth it. Never seen one in the wild sense. Nice car and hard to find 👍👌🏁

That would have been a lot of car for 15-year-old lol

I saw one of these recently at the Pontiacs at Pigeon Forge last month. Black w/black vinyl top, blue interior. Very rare. Thanks for sharing this one!

[@joemartino6976]

My dad had a 1963 Pontiac Grand Prix. I remember those wheels as an option listed as "Aluminum hubs and brake drums". Great looking wheels.

[@budp9844]

I had a convertible version of this car, but in Canada our 2+2 was a sporty version on the Parisienne model. Our Canadian Pontiacs were built on Chevrolet chassis and drivetrains, and our 2+2s always had bucket seats, console, fender "gills" and "V8" fender emblems.

[@MrOnemanop]

I had a Canadian Parisienne 2+2 with a 385 horse 427 automatic. This was ‘84. I bought it out of a snow bank in someone’s front lawn for &400.00 and took it home, cleaned it up and sold it for $800.00 Took 3 months to sell it even though I lived on a road close to a drag strip. At the time no one saw the value. The car was super solid, buckets, power windows posi and an air cleaner with a chrome lid and stubby 4” X 11” snorkel. Good working car that could really lay rubber down.

[@robertclark9]

That’s a really nice 2+2. Those 428HO motors were torque machines. I like the 65 Impala in the background. One of the most beautiful cars ever made.

[@tomcrosby6332]

Some of the coolest wheels ever. integrated drum, I was acquainted with a guy who had a 2+2 convertible. He claimed the convertible was quicker because the folded down top added weight over the back wheels for better traction with skinny tires.

[@DezzysSpeedShop]

Imagine these cars with slicks though 😈

[@philipstreechon4523]

The 350 400 428 and 455 were all the same block it would fit.

But it wasn’t available in the GTO at all

[@tomcrosby6332]

I had a 326 in a 69 firebird. Shoulda coulda woulda put a cop car 455 in it

[@adamdavis2760]

You really appreciate how rare this car is when you break down the cost options...That $226 for the 4 speed is equal to about $2100 The 2 plus 2 option for $420 is about 4k today...the 428 option and aluminum rims for about $120 translate to $1200 each The power windows, console along with power steering for around $100 each would be a $1000 each today...totaling around 11K just in options and that isn't all of them just the big ones. We look at window stickers and see how cheap it was...but that car would be about 45K today with the 15K worth of options it would have had

[@ronwallace6273]

my aunt loved pontiacs she had a 2+2 with those rims with lugs next to tires instead of middle of rim , someone stole a rim off it and it took her a few months to find one she sold it because of rare rims but that car was great fast car it was maroon i wish i had it or her 65 gto

I AM I LOVE, WOW WHAT A CAR, WHAT A SURVIVOR, THANKS FOR SHARING Dezzy awesome short video review.

[@grabasandwich]

4:25 I'm in Canada 😊 But I'm not old enough to have witnessed the uniquely Canadian Pontiacs of the 50s and 60s when they were new. Besides their Chevy frames and engines, they sure had some weird model names AND engine monikers. Astro Flash, Econo Flame, etc. I just read that early Parisiennes could even be ordered with the Corvette Ramjet fuel injection! I had a 63 Impala 2D HT project car in 99 and apparently up here they came with a stronger "Canadian" frame (possibly just a convertible frame?) Anyway, cool car!

[@DezzysSpeedShop]

Yea it’s interesting what they did up there. The Canadian frames are boxed like convertibles and are highly coveted

They made 428 for GTOs but here's the thing about it they were experimental motors. My brother got his hands on one back years ago when I was just a little kid He pinned it into a 68 Chevelle the car was an SS 396 red with the black stripe He stripped that car and painted it jet black put the 428 experimental motor down in there in place of the 396 Rumor has it my oldest brother without driving the car add a dual quad hemi cuda pulled up next to him They were getting it on pretty good from stoplight to stoplight I think my brother might have missed the shift or something about the plug wires one of the plug wires popped off at high RPM add the motor took a bearing spin But that is the factual it was an experimental 428 from the factory for the GTO

I had a 67 gp convertible with 8 lug wheels. Always new brake pads if you get one. I had a Volkswagen steel plate with 8 holes/ 5 in the center, to hold the rim so new tires could be put on it. Otherwise it had to be done with brute strength & greased leverage.

Nice vid Dez. You actually could get a GTO with this engine back then but few cared to because of the expense. They were " Royal Bobcat GTO's" with the 428. They had a limited production. But from the get (factory spec/optioned) no, you couldn't purchase this engine in the GTO.
