Montero Red 1966 GTO at a car show. This is a great thing to see. The car started out as a dull hulk on a car trailer. But it ended up as a shiny bright red show car!

White 1966 GTO hardtop found sitting here in Florida back in 1984. Looks like a pretty nice car.

Tim from Paw Paw, Michigan sent in these pictures of a red 1966 GTO hardtop he was looking at to purchase. Tim added, "Always been a GTO fan but never got one so I'm real unsure as to what to look for. If any one can help me out I would appreciate it. For starters, you should verify that it is a real GTO. You can look at the VIN number. GTO VINs startwith 24 for model years 1966 through 1971. As for the other years, you will have to contact Pontiac Historical Services.

Red 1966 GTO hardtop, left rear view. It's got the Rally II wheels which weren't available until 1967, but most people agree that they are nicer than the popular poverty caps which this car probably came with.

Red 1966 GTO hardtop, interior view. The interior looks right with the
exception of the steering wheel and column mounted tach. The radio looks original. It's got the 4-speed manual transmission in it. Most people agree that a manual transmission GTO is more desirable than an automatic. It doesn't have the popular center console between
the seats which might indicate that the manual transmission is not original. The Hurst shifter sticker on the rear quarter glass is interesting. They usually come with the shift kits when you purchase them aftermarket - another indication that the transmission was changed.

Red 1966 GTO hardtop, engine view. The engine has some modifications. The air cleaner and valve covers are not original. Its hard to find an
unchanged GTO after all these years. And just because it's not completely original doesn't necessarily reduce the value. Desireable options added later can cause the car to be worth more. If you're looking for a car to suit only your individual tastes, go for it!

Here is a white 1966 GTO hardtop coming off the line hard. Wheelies! This photo is from Norwalk Raceway Park in Ohio. Norwalk is a great facility because you can get close to the cars. As a spectator in the stands, you have a good view as well. The concrete walls along the track are not so high that you can't see the sides of the cars as they go down the track.

This car makes so much power on takeoff that the front of the car raises high into the air. How about another 1966 GTO hardtop getting some air. It takes a little skill to pilot a car down the strip when the steering is temporarily disabled because the wheels are not even touching the track. Looks great with the unrestricted headers dumping out the sides. This guy is racing a Firebird at Norwalk Raceway Park in Norwalk, Ohio.

Stephan Wright captured this red 1966 GTO sport coupe at the 2002 Ark City Kansas Pontiac Uprising. Looks like it was up against a 1964 GTO.

Black 1966 GTO owned by Lee Duncan from Canada. Leee tells us, "I saw the car parked in a driveway, with a for sale sign on it, and immediatly fell in love. It was in a starter and alternator shop and I visited daily. I got the VIN numbers, and checked them, and came back, and back. I finally got all the money together and bought it! There were a few other offers in, but the owner seemed to like me, and cut me a deal!"

Holly red 1966 GTO. Look at all the other Pontiacs. Looks like a 1970 GTO and two 1974 GTOs. There are also two Firebirds.

White 1966 GTO convertible owned by Winston Sterzel from South Africa. Winston had this to say, "Good day, I’ve recently bought a 1966 GTO (the only one in South Africa as far as I know) It’s in pretty bad shape, and originally a hard-top, someone decided to chop the roof off (there is no hardtop.. the guy just stuck some vinyl at the back to make it look like a roof is there) They did an okay job, but it’s pretty sloppy. Anyway I would like to try and restore the thing as much as possible, but I’d like it to remain open-top. There are very few Muscle cars in this Country of mine. For an enthusiast like me, getting parts is a real nightmare!"
