Description
Overview:
This car is a definite survivor. It’s not your everyday cruiser, this is a put you back in your seat blow your hat off muscle car. It has been thoughtfully restored from paint to the engine you name it, it’s been done and with only a little more work it would be awesome. The hood, trunk and panels have all been repainted in the factory white and look incredible. The 400 V8 has been brought back to life just like its glory days and ready to burn rubber. The interior is finished in sleek black leather and looks the part. The brakes are a little squishy and the gas pedal is a little stiff, but with a little bit of fine tuning can be easily fixed. It drives straight with handling being a little stiff at high speeds, but that’s to be expected from such a powerful machine. This is the GTO you’ve always dreamed of and a one-of-a-kind restoration that’s ready to drive from the day you buy it.
History:
The standard powertrain was also the same 400 cubic inch V8 delivering 350 hp. The economy option was again available at no extra cost, but only with a Turbo Hydramatic automatic transmission. Power brakes with front discs were also standard GTO equipment for the year. New for 1969, was also the optional power flow ventilation system. Performance statistics for a standard 1969 Pontiac GTO were more or less the same as the 1968 GTO. The real difference was made by the RA IV which clocked a quarter mile in 14. 4 sec accelerating 0 – 60 in 6. 1 seconds. Even better was the RA IV equipped Judge which finished its quarter mile in 13. 2 sec and accelerated 0-60 in 5. 7 sec topping at 104 mph.
