Hardtop Sport Coupe
Convertible
The 1966 GTO was no longer an option on the Pontiac LeMans. It was a model of it's own. The GTO received all new sheet metal and interior for 1966. Mechanically they were the same. The sides of the car were no longer straight. They were given a "Coke bottle" shape. The rear window was recessed into the semi-fastback design. The 1966 GTO could be ordered in three different body styles. The hardtop had no post between the front side and rear side quarter glass. The sport coupe had a pillar or post between these two windows. The convertible was the third body style that the GTO was offered in. The 1966 GTO's set of standard options included; bucket seats, special exterior trim (such as the hood scoop), 335hp 389ci engine (optional Tri-power) with chrome valve covers and air cleaner(s), dual exhausts, and 3-speed manual transmission.
