Complementing its impressive mechanical setup is a suite of desirable factory options that elevate both comfort and driver control, including power steering, power brakes, and power windows.
A detailed look at the original cowl-mounted Fisher Body data tag confirms its exceptional pedigree. Produced during the second week of November 1965 at the Pontiac, Michigan assembly plant (11B / PON), this genuine GTO convertible (ST 66-24267) was equipped from the factory with a center floor console (Group 2G), an outside remote mirror (Group 4F), and power windows with deluxe seat belts (Group 5Y).
As 1966 boasted the highest overall production run for the first-generation GTO, examples combining the triple-carbureted 389, a 4-speed manual transmission, luxury power options, and a striking Black-over-Burgundy color scheme remain among the most sought-after investment-grade muscle cars on the market.
