Super Rare GTO
On auction.
1966 GTO Convertible, Tri-Power, 4 spd., Tiger Gold. This would be a very special car to own. Needs lots of work, but worth it.

My 66 was original imported back in 66 & converted to RHD. It had quite a few options: alum front drums, wood wheel, p/w, p/b, p/s, AC, console, map reading lights, power antenna, light under the hood, L& R external mirrors, Night/day internal mirror, loud speakers in rear shelf.

I bet it was a looker new, and yes it is a rare car, but its already at over $32,000 reserve not met? With a BIN of $75,000?
That car needs a complete redo, what would be a realistic selling price if restored in today's Market? I can't imagine it would be much above $50,000? Or am I way out in left field? I know its the special order paint color that seems to really get people exited on a 66. I personally never cared for the color and could not understand the Hype over it. Just curios

Another ‘66 Tiger Gold which happens to be a low mileage Unrestored Survivor.
This example belonged to a late friend of mine. The engine bay photo was taken in early 1967. This pic is a great reference as to how it looked new.

That WAS a sharp car.
Sadly these days you would be upside down PDQ with a resto. I think the Pontiac Golds and Silvers look great on the 66-67 body lines. Not TIGER but a real sharp '66 belonging to one of our crew.

Did he ever mention how/where he sourced that 1966 Dealer Invoice ? Did the dealer give it to him ? Or did he contact PMD at some point and they sent it to him ? Am presuming he bought that car new . |

Would have put it at about 35-40k as is 45 should have bought it, don't think it will ever see 50 , especially not 75 - not in practical senses anyway. But i don't think they were exactly looking for practical people on this particular session anyhow. Definitely over 100k after full frame off restored It's a milestone car in stigma color, with a lot of the best/right stuff , and Convertible Serious collector type material |

Dang, l like that car almost just the way it is. Some obvious stuff has to be done but if l had it I might just let the next owner worry about getting trophies.

With closer look at the amount of corrosion and general all-around poor condition, IMO the seller should have taken the 45k and run. I wouldn't be a player for half that price, preferring cars that were never neglected to that point in the first place.
