All the videos on my website are embedded from Youtube. From what little information I can find Youtube is testing turning off videos for certain users that are not logged into a Youtube account or using a VPN to view videos. If you have a Youtube account, please try logging in and see if you can then view the videos on https://mvotd.com. If you're using a VPN, try turning it off to view the videos. There are a few other work arounds but they are pretty confusing to use. If you have the skills you might try searching Google for "Youtube Sign in to confirm you're not a bot" for a fix. I didn't see any that looked easy. Our best hope is that Youtube completes their test and realizes this is a big mistake. Until then, please check in daily to see if you still getting the error message. Sorry it took so long to figure out what was going on with this. Mel

Possibly the highest option 1966 GTO: 40 options! Pontiac Historical documented, it was born a Tri-Power, 4-speed and loaded with options. #s matching motor. Body off frame restoration to factory specs. Featured in Muscle Cars magazine.
EXTERIOR: This one sits proud! The body is clean and straight. No rust or issues and the panels fit right. Repainted in Montero Red and it is polished smooth and glossy. All the chrome and trim are sparkling. Glass is clear, weatherstrips are soft. Here are the exterior options: door edge guards, remote mirror, pinstripe, a power antenna, and a vinyl top. It also has Rally 1 wheels wrapped in reproduction redline tires.
INTERIOR: All original interior except the carpet and it's the in great shape! Talk about options, this list is long! Let's start with the most exciting: my favorite is the reverb speaker, and it works! It also has a factory Am-Fm radio, rally gauges, a deluxe wheel on a tilt column, rear defogger, and a hazard light switch. The bucket seats are special: driver's side is power, passenger side reclines, and both have headrests. Down on the floor is deluxe seatbelts, reproduction mats, pedal trim, a center console which is home to a Hurst shifter with optional walnut knob. Overhead it has map lights as part of the lamp group. Everything looks great and it is very functional.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Rebuilt original 389-360 hp Tri-Power engine. Correct casting code and date, correct WS code and the unit number matches the protect-o-plate. It has correct big valve 093 heads, 068 intake and large venturi carbs. It also has the correct chrome valve covers and air cleaner lids, correct foam filters, choke, fuel lines, fuel filter etc. The entire engine compartment is detailed to the way that specific factory would have done it: proper overspray on the firewall with the assembly line markings. It also has reproduction hoses, clamps, spring clamp battery cables and Delco battery topper. Other options include transistor ignition, power steering, power brakes and under hood lamp. Everything looks proper: the battery is secured, windshield washers are hooked up.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: You actually pump a plunger in the glovebox and that pops the trunk! Yes, that's a factory option. It also has an optional trunk light that works. Reproduction weatherstrip and 2 piece trunk mat. It is complete with a matching reproduction redline tire on a Rally 1 wheel and correct jack assembly. Inside is clean metal with a spatter paint.
UNDERSIDE: The body was off the frame during restoration. All rock solid floors has the factory undercoat, it was cleaned and freshened up with some black paint. The chassis was all stripped down, repainted then rebuilt. The steering and suspension were redone, it even has correct spiral shocks. The brake system has been thoroughly gone through. It has optional metallic brake linings on the finned drums at all four wheels, e-brake is hooked up. Correct style dual exhaust with the offset mufflers and resonators in the tailpipes. Looking up at the motor it is very fresh, has correct starter. The correct Muncie 4-speed is also fresh with a Hurst shift linkage. Restored drive shaft with the assembly line markings reapplied. Correct 3.55 posi rear end.
SERVICE: Our shop inspected the car and replaced all three foam air cleaners with correct reproductions, rebuilt and adjusted all three carburetors, fixed the heater blower, and turn signals. We cleaned the tracks, motors, and clutches on the power seat. We replaced a missing bolt on the front sway bar and repaired a connection at a brake light.
This is a special GTO, dare I say it's the ultimate 66 GTO? The fact it looks and functions this great and it's an older restoration is a real testament to the integrity of this car.
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my professional impression of the vehicle. Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video that explains the car's condition in detail. **These cars are displayed in a museum. If interested in a particular car, make an appointment with a salesman to see that car. Without an appointment there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you buy a car, your admission will be refunded, and you will be given a 1 year membership.
