1966 DEALER SHOWROOM SALES CATALOG
Anyone have some of these?
I would love to buy a copy of the Sprint section if possible.

I have an original 66 catalog that shows all models. It's the white one that says "Pontiac 1966" in gold. Also shows the 66 GTO, Lemans, and Sprint with the 8 lug wheels that never came to be as an option.

I have most of the regular brochures.
I too like the rendering of the 8-lugged LeMANS as well.  I also love the disclaimers found in the catalogs about some options not avail at time of production. They really did want them on the A-Bodies but ran into problems so the idea was dropped. If you haven't seen this one, check out the GTO with 8-Lugs @ 16:20 in this 1966 promo; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Un9Xk9h7IxU The pages from the Dealer Showroom sample book shown above are some I don't have.

From what I was told, Delorean and Kelsey-Hayes couldn't come to terms for the 8 lug wheels on the GTO, LeMans, and Sprint. So Delorean dropped it, and the rest is history. too bad tho, as those wheels would probably be the hot ticket today. Maybe even more so than the Hurst wheels, seeing there never was a Hurst GTO.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
