    Calling All Pontiac Guy's Pontiac Gto 66/67

     



    I have a chance to buy a 66 Pontiac GTO or a 67 GTO.
    400 4-speed car,3.55 gear.
    The other car is a 66 GTO with a 389,auto and 3.73 gear.
    Both cars are numers matching or at least that is what I have been told anyway.
    I have not seen either car.
    I am told the 66 needs everything as far as body panels including a trunk floor.
    The 67 needs rear quarters and front fenders.
    Do any of you guy's know what the diference's are between the 66 GTO and the 67 GTO.

    I think 66 came out 1 year before the 67's!!!!

    I think most of the difference was trim, grille, and the usual things they changed on a carryover year... Don't go by me though, been a long time since I messed with the old GTO's....

    I'll probably be banished for this, but these guys are serious PONCHO heads.....[url]http://www.performanceyears.com. In my defense, they also help non Pontiac people (still GM) with exotic stuff and OEM Ponchos with a lot of banter and info like we share here.
    What if the "Hokey Pokey" is what it's really all about?
