This 1971 Pontiac GTO convertible was refurbished under prior ownership at which time it was refinished in Castillian Bronze. Power is provided by a 400ci V8 paired with a replacement four-speed manual transmission, and additional equipment includes a white soft top, a hood-mounted tachometer, a Ram Air hood, an Endura front bumper, 15″ honeycomb wheels, and power-assisted front disc brakes as well as a Hurst shifter, a center console, Sienna vinyl upholstery, and air conditioning. The seller acquired the car in 2022 and has since added a Ram Air-style induction system. This GTO convertible is now offered with Pontiac Historic Services documentation as well as a New York registration document in the seller’s name.

Judge-style stripes have been added, and exterior equipment includes a power-operated white convertible top, a top boot, a color-keyed Endura front bumper, quad headlights, a Ram Air hood, and quad exhaust outlets.

This is a relist after the vehicle was previously sold on BaT in September 2024 and the winning bidder failed to follow through with their commitment to purchase. This was not due to any fault with the vehicle. The winner’s participation on BaT is currently restricted.

The Pontiac Historic Services documentation indicates the car was initially delivered to Davenport, Iowa, and lists factory options and equipment.
The car does not have a title, as it is registered in a state that does not require titles for a vehicle of its age. It is being offered on its transferrable New York registration.
