1968 Pontiac GTO 

Convertible Lot F91 rolls across the block on Friday sporting deep black paint over matching black vinyl. Showing 62,379 miles, this convertible preserves its original demeanor with a body-color Endura front bumper, Rally Wheels, and Wide Oval Redline tires. Under the hood, a matching-numbers 400 ci V8 churning out 350 horsepower mates to a four-speed manual transmission. A factory hood tachometer and air conditioning round out the package, backed by Pontiac Historic Services documentation.

1971 Pontiac GTO

Crossing Friday under Lot F81, this Castillian Bronze hardtop marks the pivotal year Pontiac lowered compression ratios for unleaded fuel. A dual-exhaust 400 V8 delivers power straight to a Muncie four-speed gearbox and a GM 10-bolt limited-slip rear axle. Inside the cabin, sienna upholstery complements engine-turned aluminum dash trim, while DuPont paint chips, dealer invoices, and factory order sheets verify its build.

1967 Pontiac GTO Restomod

Thursday brings Lot T305 up the ramp wearing Burgundy Metallic paint on a restored frame. Set up for effortless boulevard cruising, this coupe pairs a four-barrel 400 V8 with an automatic transmission and a Lokar floor shifter. American Racing Torq-Thrust wheels and an upgraded front disc brake kit modernize the chassis, while an aftermarket stereo and console cupholders welcome long weekend drives.

1965 Pontiac GTO Coupe

Representing pure vintage motorsport, Lot S205 crosses Saturday bearing the nickname Torquen Tiger Too from its days running for Colonial Motors out of Naperville, Illinois. Spotting rare Pontiac GTOs at Mecum Nashville always turns heads, but this red coupe packs genuine Tri-power induction on a 389 V8. Three two-barrel carburetors dump fuel through a four-speed gearbox, a Saf-T-Track rearend, and dual twin-tipped exhausts, while period Stewart-Warner gauges track vital engine signs.

1967 Pontiac GTO Custom Order

Lot T241 hits Thursday’s lineup carrying a unique backstory from its original owner. Ordered new to match the Boy Scouts of America uniform, the body wears Signet Gold paint paired with a white vinyl roof and a two-tone white and red interior. A matching-numbers 400 V8 links to a Turbo-Hydramatic transmission, while power windows, Soft Ray glass, and power steering maintain high original preservation.
