1966 Pontiac GTO

 



The GTO turned into a different Pontiac (model number 242) in 1966, rather than being an "alternative bundle" on the Tempest LeMans.

Pontiac's halfway line was restyled, increasing more shapely styling with kicked-up back bumper lines for a "Coke-jug" look, and a somewhat "burrowed" backdrop illumination. The tail light included an uncommon louvered spread, just seen on the GTO. General length became just partially, to 206.4 in (5,243 mm), still on a 115 in (2,921 mm) wheelbase, while width extended to 74.4 in (1,890 mm). Back track expanded one inch (2.5 cm). General weight stayed about the same.

The GTO was accessible as a pillared car, a hardtop (without B-columns), and a convertible.

Additionally a car industry initially, plastic front grilles supplanted the pot metal and aluminum variants seen on before years. New Strato can seats were presented with higher and more slender seat backs and formed pads for included solace and customizable headrests were presented as another option. The instrument board was updated and more coordinated than in earlier years with the ignition switch moved from the most distant left of the dash to one side of the controlling wheel. Four unit instruments proceeded, and the GTO's dash was highlighted by walnut finish trim.

Motor and carburetor decisions continued as before as the earlier year, with the exception of the Tri Power choice was suspended mid-model year.

Another motor was offered that saw couple of takers: the XS alternative comprised of a processing plant Ram Air set up with another 744 high lift cam. Around 35 processing plant introduced Ram Air bundles are accepted to have been fabricated, however 300 dealership introduced Ram Air bundles are assessed to have been requested. On paper, the bundle was said to create the same 360 hp (270 kW) as the non-Ram Air, Tri Power auto. Deals expanded to 96,946, the most astounding creation figure for all GTO years. Despite the fact that Pontiac had strenuously advanced the GTO in publicizing as the "GTO tiger," it had gotten to be referred to in the adolescent business sector as the "goat."
