Nice looking 67, I really would like that blue 1/2 clear steering wheel for my 67!

were the exhaust tubes crushed like that from the factory to clear the leafs, or is that someones idea of extra clearance?

Engine and 4spd gone. Still wearing factory paint job and stripes.
Was Special Order Tiger Gold - 97904
Sold new out of PMD Retail Store 07-631

I believe the saying is that was only for employee purchases , not the general public.
However it shipped to 02-283 , an unknown dealer in NY Zone

Seller is suggesting it may have been a Thom McAn promo car

This is the updated ad on eBay:

1966 Pontiac GTO – Special-Order Tiger Gold – Tri-Power 4-Speed – PHS Documented – Rare Promo Car

Extremely rare factory special-order Tiger Gold 1966 GTO, believed to be a Thom McAn promotional car. This is a true Tri-Power, 4-speed example as confirmed by the PHS documentation.

The car is a roller—no engine or transmission—but has a solid frame, solid floors, and a complete interior, making it an excellent candidate for a high-end restoration or really cool driver. These color and drivetrain combinations are among the most desirable in the GTO world, and factory Tiger Gold cars are especially hard to find.

Clean title in hand.

I will not accept payment through ebay secure purchase. Cash in person or wire only.

How do you sell on eBay and not accept payment through eBay? The secure part of eBay is the transaction. I t may be legit, but I'd need to see it in person. Cool car for sure and a stunner when painted and a Pontiac 400 and Muncie 4 speed is put into it.

All 67-69 Firebirds had their tailpipes flattened oval to clear the leaf springs. The last few inches of the tips were dipped in black paint also for some reason but just on factory install, not on replacement parts from Pontiac.

There is a very clear photo of a red 69 Firebird body being dropped on the chassis that provides a lot of intel. It's readily found on the internet.

79 Firebird in Montana with 80K miles at $1K NR. Looks like a damn ok dash pad, so there's that. A good dash with a crack in the center looks pretty cool actually on a stock car.

This car raises a question. 94 Firebird drag car at $53K in Michigan with a 454. Is that a velocity stack between the carb and the intake? Do those do anything?

Those are carb spacers. A 2" and a 1" it looks like. I ran my setup like that when I ran a carb. Depends on your setup for how it works. Ran great on mine.

72 Grand Prix in Illinois at $11.5K BIN. The 1971 seats rock, these, not so much, but the interior is modern day Art Deco to me.

77 Trans AM Macho T/A in Minnesota with a reserve. I've said this before, but I'll say it again. I was 17 and living in Phoenix when these Macho T/A cars came out. I used to see them driving around Phoenix when they were new, and that was when cruise night was a thing (a really cool thing, on Grand if I remember). You'd see a lot of the wacky 70's groovy paint jobs, an occasionally a funny car would show up. That's where I'd see most of the Macho T/A's in the wild. They were different, because it wasn't just a paint job, as there were engine mods and go faster stuff added. It wasn't much extra HP, but in a time where gutless cars were the norm, this was about as good as it got. I love them, but I would feel odd driving this car now. You go to Sprouts to get a sandwich (or Whole Foods), and you drive up in this, and no one has ever heard of it. If you missed it, it's MACHO. You'd get some looks, and probably not about the car. I think the steering wheel center cap is supposed to be DKM?

69 Firebird convertible in Michigan at $30K BIN. Has a 350, but the car looks loaded and claims to only have 49K original miles.

The Ebay listing for the Macho TA shows both 1977 and 1978? I think that dealer is close to me, maybe I should run over there and take a look at it. In the late 70s I worked at a gas station in Minnesota and had a Macho TA come in for gas. It was so different that I made a note about it. It was 112 DKM. Didn't write down the date but it was between 1978 and 1980.
