GTO Giveaway Car

[GTO_DON]

Red fender liners were never a part for a HO car. Has nothing to do with it. They are a very rare option. Only 1% of GTO'S had them. I do agree on the price. It could have been bought for a little over 100k last fall. I thought that was too much!! GO FIGURE

Why does Pontiac call the color Coronado Gold ( Tiger Gold ) and the GTO assoction Signet Gold ???

Cool car but the price a faint hope... ???.

And the guy should state 2 'known' existing, not simply 2 existing..

I wonder if anyone up here won one of these from the Canadian division of Tom McCan shoes?.

Whatever the guy reaches, it may be worth trying to run the before and after sequential Vins through PHS looking for more?.

Lastly, is it truly clear where/when the Hood Tach was installed...could these jackpot cars be the first ever factory installed units?.

I believe factory hood tach installations started in Feb/Mar '67. This car is way to early...but it does look like the correct 1st style tall version tach.

Signet Gold was an available color in 1967 paint code 'G'.Tiger Gold was an extra cost special paint. The colors are close,but Tiger Gold has a lighter green tone. Coronado Gold was a standard production color paint code 'O' on Firebird models only in 1967. Different name but same color.

GTO DON is right on about the liners. Johnny HP is right about the crack!

This is a nice car but I too passed on it last year after doing a little research. It is not a special car other than given away by Thom McAnn - and the big problem there is that they gave away a BUNCH of them. It is not a 1 of 1 car, more like a 1 of 16 as I recall. And just a GTO, not built by Pontiac Engineering or sent to Royal etc. The winners could order their car from any dealer nationwide and order any options they wanted up to a certain maximum msrp. This winner just happened to order a great combo (HO/ 4 speed/ red liners).

This dealer (Napoli?) is the same place that bought the nice automatic 69 T/A and Banshee concept car at B-J last year or the year before and has advertsied the T/A for $650k or so and the Banshee for $2.5 million (sold at B-J for around $250k). The Thom McAnn car just sold at Mecum in Florida. Not anywhere near $850k

Oh, and glad I wasn't the only guy who noticed the rusty crossmember
