The 1966 Pontiac GTO

One my "dream cars" is a 1966 GTO convertible in the "reef turquoise" with the 389 Tri-Power package. One of the best looking cars to come out of Detroit, was a fact reflected in its sales of 96,000 for that year. Only 19,000 had the Tri-Power option (3 2-barrel carbs). Also availble that year was an XS Ram Air package for the Tri-Power that boosted the horsepower from 360 to around 380. Can you say "VAROOOM!"? Less than 50 XS Ram Air cars were produced. No longer part of the Le Mans Line, 1966 was the first year the GTO had its own line. These cars were cruisin' main and smokin' their red lines all over the country.
