There's only 1,160 mi on this high-end custom build of this real GTO. This is World of Wheels type quality, it's as polished underneath as it is on top. Wait 'til you sit inside and smell the leather interior. Of course, shifting those gears and opening up all 3 carbs will have you grinning ear to ear too!

EXTERIOR: Is this body made out of blue glass, because that's what it looks like! It's literally straight as a laser beam head to toe. The Cobalt Blue paint is polished like a mirror, it looks like you could dive right into it. All the chrome and trim is either new or restored. The power antenna retracts out of sight. All the glass has been replaced. It has a great stance with some knockout staggered size Billet Specialties wheels. They're 18s in front, 20s in back and wrapped in some performance tires.

INTERIOR: Have you ever been in a boot shop in Nashville? That's what the interior smells like! All genuine cowhide leather custom stitched upholstery. Very comfortably bolstered seats, custom molded door panels, custom made console and even the dash pad are wrapped in leather with white stitching. There are even some embroidered logos. Overhead has an Alcantara perforated headliner and visors. New carpet down on the floor with embroidered mats. It has a restored factory instrument panel with the Rallye gauge cluster including a tachometer. A Pontiac retro stereo fits in the factory hole and it has 4 speakers. Heater control panel is upgraded with a modern Vintage Air unit. New reproduction deluxe wheel is on a tilt polished column. Ron Francis wiring and fuse panel. I like the cupholders in the console, but I like the 5-speed shifter the best!

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Wow, the engine bay is as slick as the car including the smooth firewall. At the heart of it is a 421 power plant with Tri-Power carbs on top making 370+ hp. It has ceramic coated intake and H.O. exhaust manifolds. The front of the motor has a billet runner system including the brackets, pulleys chrome alternator, mini polished AC compressor and modern power steering with a remote reservoir. It also has a polished power brake system. All the hoses are braided stainless, the hardware is polished stainless. The Auto Rad polished aluminum radiator and overflow bottle with dual electric fans keeps it cool. The motor is dressed nicely with shiny parts!

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: It is boxed and upholstered to match the interior. Under the trunk lid and the jamb is painted as slick as the car. There is a CD changer, and the battery is hidden behind the panel.

UNDERSIDE: It's painted as smooth as the top. You think I'm kidding, take a look for yourself. The body was off the frame, the floors are all pristine rust-free metal painted the same color as the car. All the chassis was prepped and painted gloss black. The suspension and steering have been completely rebuilt and upgraded. In front it has a fatter sway bar and Hotchkiss adjustable tie rods. In back it has a Hotchkiss sport system with boxed control arms, extra tubular bracing, and a sway bar. It also has air shocks. Great sounding dual exhaust system with Flowmaster mufflers. The custom stainless fuel tank is polished like chrome. The brakes are completely upgraded with drilled and slotted disc at all four wheels with polished Wilwood calipers. It also has a custom e-brake system. The battery is located in the trunk so there are jumper leads and a master disconnect switch under the car. Looking up at the motor it has a chrome oil pan and a high torque starter. A heavy duty bellhousing connects to a Keisler trans package that includes a Tremec 5-speed transmission and hydraulic clutch. A rebuilt driveshaft goes back to a heavy duty Ford 9-inch rear end with posi gears.

SERVICE: We ran the car through our shop and fixed the horn, rebuilt the carbs, charged the a/c, replaced the heater control panel, adjusted the heat shields on the manifolds, replaced the tachometer, took it in for a front end alignment, replace a brake light socket and lubed the window tracks.

Simply incredible! The fit and finishes throughout are top notch. The new owner of this GTO will be very proud to show it off. The best fun will be when he or she is out shifting gears!
