Default New 1966 GTO Owner

Hello fellow Pontiac enthusiasts.

I recently purchased a 1966 GTO—Reef Turquoise, turquoise interior, 4-speed, rally gauges, and now running a Tri-Power setup (originally a 4BBL car). It’s a two-door hardtop.

My father recently passed away, and he owned a ’64 GTO as well. I was in the process of buying this one with the hope that he and I would get to enjoy it together. Life had other plans, but I decided to follow through with the purchase so I could honor that memory and keep a piece of him with me every time I fire it up.

Here are a few photos of the car. I’m looking forward to learning from all of you, hearing your thoughts, and hopefully contributing where I can.

Thanks for having me
