1966 Pontiac GTO Hardtop Coupe 4-Speed

This 1966 Pontiac GTO hardtop coupe was used in the Brooks & Dunn music video for Red Dirt Road and was a grand prize giveaway in a 2003 Country Music Television sweepstakes. It was refurbished before being acquired by the seller and their father in 2017, and subsequent work consisted of installing an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor and a power steering system, retrofitting a modern performance audio setup, and replacing the differential bearings, fuel pump, and battery. It is powered by a 389ci V8 paired with a four-speed manual transmission, and further details include a Hurst shifter, 15? Rally II-style wheels, and power steering. The cabin is appointed with black vinyl bucket seats, woodgrain paneling, a center console, and a concealed audio system with aftermarket components. This GTO is now offered with PHS Automotive Services documents, historical documentation, and a clean Ohio title in the seller’s name.

The body has been repainted black with red pinstripes, and exterior elements include stacked headlights, a faux hood scoop, GTO badging, and chrome trim on the grille, bumpers, window surrounds, and rocker panels.

Rally II-style 15? wheels wear red PMD centers and are mounted with BFGoodrich Silvertown Radial red-line tires with 2009 production date codes. The car is equipped with power steering and a stabilizer bar.

The cabin houses front bucket seats and a rear bench upholstered in black vinyl, and interior appointments include woodgrain paneling, a center console, a Hurst shifter, and a concealed Bluetooth receiver linked to Alpine audio components and a subwoofer mounted in the spare tire well.

The three-spoke steering wheel fronts a 120-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and a fuel-level gauge. The speedometer is not accurate at highway speeds. The five-digit odometer shows 51k miles, approximately 1k of which were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.

The seller tells us the replacement 389ci V8 has later “6X” cylinder heads, and an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor was installed along with replacement ignition components in 2017. An oil seep is noted.

Power is routed to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission, and the 10-bolt Safe-T-Track rear end received replacement bearings in 2017. The fuel pump and filter were replaced in November 2024.
