This 1967 Pontiac GTO hardtop coupe was assembled in the Fremont, California plant and delivered by Pat Clark Pontiac, Las Vegas to its original owner in Las Vegas on June 5, 1967. The GTO is finished in a one-year color, Linden Green (H), over a Parchment interior with a Cordova black vinyl top. Power comes from a totally rebuilt and modified 400c.i. V8 built to 461c.i stroker specifications mated to a rebuilt factory Muncie M20 4-speed manual transmission with an M22 gear set.
Reportedly, the GTO has had 3 previous owners including the original Las Vegas owner who had possession of the car for over 40 years. It has spent its entire life in dry California and Nevada. The current owner has had the GTO since July, 2012 adding fewer than 5,000 miles during his ownership.

Finished from the factory in Linden Green (H), a one-year 1967 GTO color, the car was repainted in the factory color during prior ownership and features chrome bumpers, headlight surrounds, and sill guards as well as dual polished exhaust outlets. Minor surface scratches are noted on the lower rear bumper along with slight damage to the driver door edge caused by an improper installation of the door edge guard. Photos of the exterior of the car can be seen in the gallery.
