1972 Pontiac GTO Convertible Tribute

Description

A great complete and custom build of the car you always wanted to have. That's how you should view this 1972 Pontiac GTO Convertible tribute. With its performance-built 455 V8, custom interior, and upgraded suspension, you'll soon realize that the affordable price is just the cherry on top of this total package classic.

If you like Chevys, you call this paint Hugger Orange; but if you're a Pontiac person, you know this is Carousel Red. It is one of the most iconic colors from the GM palette, and it is exactly how you want a performance Pontiac to look. Of course, it doesn't hurt that its awesome gloss is courtesy of a recent professional respray on a super-straight body. But getting a GTO right takes more than just the perfect paint. The large hood scoops, hood pins, quad exhaust tips, and large color-matched rear spoiler all give this the aggressive attitude you expect from the legendary GTO name. And everyone will love seeing the special Year One alloys that take the iconic Rally II wheel design and make them larger and wider. This is an amazing looking classic, but we should really understand what it took to get us here. Those who know Pontiacs, know there was no GTO convertible in 1972, but there was a droptop with very similar packaging called the Le Mans Sport. Complete with the optional Endura front end, it's a dead ringer for a GTO in convertible form. Best of all, a code D67 car like this is rare – less than 3,500 were produced in '72.

While this already feels like a very thoughtful build, it gets even better with the touch of a button. The white vinyl top electronically lowers to reveal a custom interior that coordinates so nicely in white and red/orange. But thanks to black carpeting, you don't have to worry about dusting off your shoes before hopping in and going for a drive – after all, that's the whole point of a cool classic like this. You get all the best muscle car features like bucket seats, a center console, and a Hurst His & Hers shifter. Plus, more great factory features are still in place like the AM radio (display) and air conditioning. The machined aluminum panel for the lower dash is even correct. But when it comes to the driver, you have an upgraded package that includes a wood and chrome Grant GT sports steering wheel. And while we love the new VHX gauges w/digital odometer and clock, we are especially happy to see this one also retains Pontiac's iconic hood tach.

When you lift the hood, the tidy presentation will make you feel like you've just bought a new car. More than just look great, this is a powerful 455 cubic-inch V8 that's been rebuilt with plenty of performance upgrades. This includes a Quick Fuel four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock intake, Edelbrock Performer aluminum heads, and a Pertronix Flame Thrower ignition. And while the growl of the dual exhaust will easily remind people there's a tiger under the hood, there's much more to this droptop. This one has been upgraded with a tubular A-arm front suspension, thick sway bars front & rear, and four-wheel disc brakes. That makes for an exceptional handling package. Add in the three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and modern Firestone Firehawk tires, and this is an impressive all-around cruising machine.

This package offers you big power and tons of charisma. It's the perfect turn-key muscle machine, and it's available right now for an exceptional price. That's why you know you need to hurry if you want to take it home. This vehicle does have a rebuilt title. Call today!!!
