I’ve seen better.....that rebuilt motor looks pretty rough but the rare ‘67 tri power makes up for it. I like the no air filter for quicker break in. ��

yes.

They have a hell of a following - think 64-72 A body of the Honda world, and that one is the equivalent of a 7,000 mile 1970 LS6 in their eyes.

We sell quite a few Honda kits because of this.

I sent that to a friend of mine, and he said “that’s what I think about your muscle car.”

I had the ‘94 model of that Civic, except I sprung for the anti-lock brakes - which came in handy a few times. The car served me well but, in hindsight, it was a total POS. 2nd worst car I ever owned. So underpowered that turning off the AC while at WOT felt like hitting a nitrous button.

I think I’m starting to understand people who don’t “get” old cars.

That Bonneville is a beautiful car. Do they really bring that much $, though?

If it was legit, why put it on Craigslist?

I’d go for this one instead.....

Yeah, if that was for real I’d buy it first thing in the morning. Less than an hour from me, supposedly.

Now that's funny. There was no 67 tri power from Pontiac in any GTO but a convertible. And only 56 convertibles were built with the tri power set up according to the first link below. So this setup could be from any year prior to 67. Or maybe not all of the 56 convertibles are still around and it's one off one of the "dead" ones. One never knows.

https://www.bing.com/search?q=Was%20...FD5C57FD091155

This link says nothing about any 67 GTO tri power cars... only 56 Ram Air GTOs for '67.
https://www.musclecarfacts.com/pontiac-gto/74-1967-gto/

So which is correct?


It's like someone saying it's a Pontiac BIG block. Which is a no brainer... there was no big block Pontiac engine. Just bigger cubic inches in a common Pontiac engine block sold to the public.... until the little uncommon 301 came out.

I'm pretty sure there were no cars available with trips from any GM makes in '67 except the Corvette. No hardtops, no converts, no nuthin'.
