Someone has done some badge engineering on it by putting a GTO emblem on the deck lid.

The tail light panel is for a LeMans not a GTO. Both LeMans and GTO shared the basic platform but the tail light panel was different between the two models.

It doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

And that's why knowledge is so valued. I just saw that GTO badge and was wowed :blush: ............

Yup, throw a hood on it and instantly is a GTO.

I see a battery shut off in the right corner. Musta been someone's race car at one time(battery in truck mandates a shut off). Likely why it sat under a shed for all these years with no motor in it. The ol 326 gave up the ghost!!

I agree with what's been posted,definately NOT a GTO! this is a mid-trim level Le Mans or Tempest with GTO sheetmetal and badging. I did the very same thing with my 67' Tempest,bought a wrecked GTO front clip/hood and had "instant GTO" might still be worth the effort,as these cars are getting scares,just don't be fooled into thinking this is a genuine Goat,a basketcase GTO goes for 25K nowadays!...............................Mark

Mack Truck literate. Computer illiterate.

It will cost you $30,000 to make that a $20,000 car if you do a bunch of the work yourself....Maybe more. Didn't the 66 have the rear quarter gills like the 67 tempest/Lemans cars? Those are gone too. Looks rusty to boot...It might be a good parts car to save a real 242 Goat...I bought a 67 lemans in Maine two summers ago for $1200 for parts. It looked rough but salvageable to some. One guy asked me while I was fueling the truck if I was going to restore it. I told him no I was going to cut it up for parts...I think I made him sad but my GTO needs quarters...Love those Pontiacs...

To many "Clones" of muscle cars foisted on the unknowing buyers.

Definitely a Lemans or a Tempest. The taillights are an immediate giveaway. Here's what the 1966 GTO taillights look like.

Different rocker trim also. Paul
