“Triple Black, Royal Bobcat Conversion”

GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this 1966 GTO convertible for your consideration. The car was given the Royal Bobcat conversion in 2006 and the work was done by Milt Schornack at Shornack Motorsports. Milt Schornack worked at the Royal Pontiac dealership in Royal Oak and did these conversions when they were offered in the 60's. The conversion packaged consisted of modifying the spark advance of the distributor, a thinner copper head gasket to raise compression, a special intake manifold gasket to block the heat riser to the carburetor – keeping it cooler, larger carburetor jets allowing the car to rev higher without “floating” the valves. After being properly installed, the conversion added 30-50 Horsepower. The car is not a numbers matching car, but is a date code correct example. Many thousands of dollars were spent getting the car to this condition. The car comes with receipts reflecting some of the work. The car features a date code correct, rebuilt, 389 v8 with Tri Power set up paired to a 4 speed manual transmission.

The car is beautiful in every aspect. The black paint is in excellent condition, the chrome is in immaculate condition and shows very well. The seats and upholstery are in excellent condition as well. Car has a center console and tachometer as well. The GTO rides on new redline Coker Classic redline tires mounted on factory wheels. The underside of the car shows very well also. The GTO was given new exhaust with Magnaflow mufflers. This car is well sorted and ready for its next owner, no wrong decision here.
