When it comes to American muscle cars, the Pontiac GTO is one of the all-time favourites. While it is the first-generation car that usually attracts the headlines, smartly customised examples of the second-generation car (as shown here), has grown rapidly in popularity and value. 

This metallic grey example features red stripes, highlighting the beautiful lines of the car and inheriting the red from the Pontiac’s badging. At the front the sharp nose is characterised by its hidden four headlights and ram-air nostrils, making it clear that this car means business.

From the side the body line is long and sweeping while the pillarless two-door GT body=style is particularly eye-catching. And to finish it off General Motors gave this model a nice raised tail, two exhaust pipes, with the chrome bumper above and tail lights built into it, and finally the prominent wing just aiding the aerodynamics of the fastback body.

The Interior is stock and has aged well over the past 55 years but it is missing some (minor) pieces which a brand afficionado will undoubtedly find a pleasure in correcting.

Under the hood is a 400cu (6.6L) V8 with a 4-barrel Edelbrock carburettor and intake assisting the motor to make more power than a stock engine. This motor is mated with an automatic box that shifts well, taking the power from the motor to the diff and rear wheels.

The wheels on this GTO are not stock, obviously, and we need to thank Chip Foose for them... They complement the finished product, aiding in both the ride, handling, and putting down the power onto the tarmac.

Interesting trade-ins will be considered.
