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 and luxury options. By ‘69, 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 powered by a 400ci V8 paired with a three-speed Turbo Hydra-Matic 400 automatic transmission. Finished in Antique Gold over a Gold vinyl interior, the car is said to have been refurbished circa 2006, at which time various braking, fuel, cooling, ignition, and suspension-related components were replaced and the engine was overhauled. Additional features include a hood-mounted tachometer, power steering, power front disc and rear drum brakes, a Flowmaster dual exhaust system, and more.

This 1969 Pontiac GTO Hardtop Coupe is now offered with service records, an owner's manual, a copy of the Protect-o-Plate, PHS documentation, a laminated window sticker, and a clean Arizona title in the seller's name.
