455-Powered 1969 Pontiac GTO Hardtop Coupe

Description

Introduced for 1968, the second-generation Pontiac GTO refined the formula that helped define the muscle-car era, pairing aggressive styling with big-block V8 power and a wide range of performance options. By 1969, the GTO featured revised front and rear styling, a more sculpted body, available concealed headlamps, and the hood-mounted tachometer that has become one of the model's most recognizable features.

This 1969 Pontiac GTO Hardtop Coupe is now reportedly powered by a 455ci V8 paired with an automatic transmission and is finished in its factory-correct shade of Limelight Green with a black vinyl top over a Green vinyl interior. Factory equipment includes air conditioning, power steering, power brakes, and a hood-mounted tachometer. The seller notes that the car has been upgraded with QA1 adjustable front coil overs, tubular front control arms, Bilstein rear shocks, boxed rear control arms, a UMI Performance rear sway bar, a rebuilt four-barrel carburetor, and a PerTronix ignition system.

This modified 1969 Pontiac GTO Hardtop Coupe is now offered with a clean North Carolina title in the seller's name.
