1971 Quezal Gold Pontiac GTO - 455 CI
My 71 GTO is 1 of 534 built with a 455 CI Motor, and a Turbo/ Hyd 400 Auto Trans. The motor is a correct 1971 YS code 455 with mild cam, stock intake and correct carb. The original trans with a shift kit and a higher stall torque converter. It sports the original 3.07, 12 bolt Rear-end.
Painted the original Quezal Gold with a Black Cordova top & Black Interior. Equipped with am fm push button radio, OEM 8-track tape player, power steering, an electric clock, electric trunk release, air conditioning, and power disc brakes.
Shipped on January 8, 1971 the car was originally sold by
W.H.Gailey Pontiac Company of Cornelia, Georgia for $4120.99 + tax.
I completed the restoration two years ago and it has won multiple stock GTO class firsts, as well as best paint & body work. No trailer queen, we took the car on three legs of the HotRod Powertour last year putting almost 2,000 miles on it in 5 days.
This year we are undecided as to whether to take the GTO or the GT-CS on the Powertour.
