[400 4spd.]

Hello Andy, and welcome to the forum. That's a very nice looking 67 you have, but I'm kinda partial to Signet Gold with black tops. Nicely optioned, too, and like Todd mentioned the interior color is unusual for the outside colors. I like it.
You're really lucky to be able to get back a car with that history, and in such nice condition.
Do you mind telling when it was built and at which plant?

And pay no attention to that Greg Reid fellow. Even though he's one of the most respected and best liked guys on here, he's always telling lies about me.

Thanks again everyone for the warm welcome. Yes I am lucky to get it back and plan to enjoy it.

Hi Steve

Thanks for checking in. Ha, nice twin.

Yes - I was aware the Signet Gold was a popular color, but typically over a black or gold interior. This was the first new car my parents purchased after they got married. My dad wanted a GTO but it was primarily my mom's car, so I'm sure she helped steer my dad with the order sheet. They wanted this color combo and ordered it November 23, 1966 from Stewart Pontiac Co. It was built at the Pontiac plant (#9848) and delivered to them in Florida on December 28, 1966. The build date code on the body tag is 12A 1. Looks like they we're building them quick from the order date that year. I have the original dealer order sheet filled out in pencil by the dealer and signed by my dad in blue ink - kind of neat.

The previous owner did a great job putting it back together after storage. It still has the original dash, headliner, upholstery, carpet, even the floor mats. It does have some interior wear/patina from the days my mom drove the four of us kids around in it, but that's part of its charm. He has a shop in Mooresville and has been restoring Pontiacs, Chevy's, and Mopars since the 1970s. He says it's one of the best driving cars he has owned and after driving it myself the last few months, I'd have to agree with him.

I have family in Raleigh so maybe someday I can bring along the car and connect with you. Would be good to pick up some tips on maintaining a '67.

Thanks for sharing the amazing story and history of your GTO.

Gold 67's used to be fairly plentiful out here in the 80's and 90's.
But i don't think any i ever saw had a White Interior.
It's a really sharp car and in great condition.

Think there are about 4 Pontiac oriented clubs in NC now.
Your car would be warmly welcomed at any of their events.

Thank you Todd. There does seem to be a lot of active Pontiac clubs in the Triad and Traingle area. Surprisingly the Charlotte area appears to have less activity, but I'm sure I'll connect with a few. I did make it to the AutoFair last week. Decent turnout and lots of great cars to see.

If you come to Raleigh anytime soon, PM me please if you can take a computer back to BVZ (Todd) which might be along your way.

He's got couple of decades of Pontiac info he amassed on a crashed system that would be beneficial for the hobby to know/have.

Thanks.....Jeff
