I had the exact same car except it was a 4 speed, no hood tach and no tape deck. ordered it new from the factory and picked it up in April of 67 on a Friday and left for boot camp at Ft. Jackson on Sunday. Brings back a ton of memories as I am now 75 years old !!!

What a genuinely perfect GTO..this car is immaculate..nicest one I've ever seen Lou! Outstanding restoration..he's proud of his ride..Thanks Lou and Terry!
High praise for the condition of this car. I agree. It's perfect. You're welcome David.
My Quadriplegic Brother in law (Paul) Who’s passed on. purchased a piece of crap 1967 Blue GTO and he himself fully restored engine and body, interior to show room new over 6 years other then the paint which my other brother in law owns a body shop painted. Paul did all the work himself throwing his body in different positions so he could reach certain areas. Needless to say it had handicap controls and he we all were in Awe at the work he had done. He had a very nice heated garage and heated radiant floor to work on it in. With TV Fridge, Enough room for 3 cars but this was the only one in the garage during the process here in New England. Love this model year.
Hi gene978, Thank you for sharing your story, Lou
My friends Mother bought a brand new 67 GTO with an Automatic trans. Grey metallic with black vinyl top. I remember riding in it a few times. I remember her oldest son driving it past us kids as we played in the ally and I took notice of that beautiful factory exhaust. Pontiac exhaust at that time were well known for a loud throaty sound off the showroom floor, even the big Bonnevilles and Catalinas.

Thanks Lou, this is such a great reminder of how Pontiac really had it goin' on back then. What a great car story!
You're welcome Rick. My pleasure sharing this car with you.
The perfect representation of the GTO. It looks like it just came out of 1967 to say, "hello". I hope it stays around for a while.
Hi Bob, High praise :-) My pleasure sharing this car with you, Lou
When I was a senior in hs, a guy at my school had a '63 Falcon Sprint w/ 260 v8, 3-speed. A 'quick' car; I envied it! But after he graduated, he got his real 'dream car': A burgundy '66 GTO w/ 389, 4-speed, white vinyl roof. When its first 'service' came due, he took it to the dealer, left it overnight. That night, when thieves broke in, his was the only car with full tank of gas, so it was the one stolen and subsequently crashed. The dealership's insurance replaced the '66 with a '67 like the one shown here, except w/ 4-speed. (The '67 was nice, but to me, that '66 was the real beauty!)😢

Hi PLMCRZY67, You're welcome, Lou
My 1967 GTO had the antenna on the left front fender. I bought it in 1971 when I got home from Vietnam. I had more close calls with death driving that car than I did in the war zone!

What happened?
Lou Este auto es una belleza ,hace unos 40 años , se uso en Uruguay debido a la carestia de la gasolina una moda perversa ... Adaptar motres diesel a todo los autos grandes Y un amigo tenia Un GTO y le hizo adaptar un Perkins 4 203. conla misma trasmison Naturalmente la trasmision Hydramatic 300 no aguanto la vibracion del diesel Y se rompio Ahi entro Yo ... Se reparo pero como el diesel no genera vacio, la moduladora de la caja no funcionaba ,produciendo cambios erraticos ,y roturas Termine adaptando una trasmision Hydrmatic de un Cadillac de 1951 ,sin moduladora de vacio Y FUNCIONO ! maravillosamente bien Tal que perdi el rastro del GTO.Esta es UNA historia de un GTO Saluda al dueño de mi parte y lo felicito y te agradezco a ti este regalo

Count your blessings and your problems if your problems outnumbered your blessings count again chances are the things you take for granted were not added Praying for Everyone Everyday God bless you All
Blessings received and God bless you too.
Wishing away your problems or choosing to ignore them will never solve them. Neither will turning to an invisible man that lives in the sky.
@@milfordcivic6755Even if you can't see Him, He knows you are there. It would not hurt for you to seek Him. Just as your comment alludes, wishing He doesn't exist is a waste of time.
✝️🙏🇺🇸
@@milfordcivic6755You are wrong. If there is no God then who saved my life miraculously in Afghanistan? When I died in Mexico who did I meet and who sent me back? What was the powerful force that convinced me not to pull the trigger on my 357 when it was pointed at my head? Who saved my life in Panama when I should have died? How is it possible for a man who was beat, molested, and told I was hated as a child to grow up and have a successful marriage (25 years), successful military career (retired honorably), and raised 3 healthy and successful children? Here is how, once I received Jesus he healed me over time. I used to be just like you. Now I know the truth.
What a great GTO belonging to a great GTO family! I've always admired that body color and of course, the "pep". Thanks, Lou!
Hi TheGunfighter45acp, Happy to bring you "Peppy" :-) You're welcome, Lou
This is my favorite Pontiac ever made

Very nice GTO. Looks new. Bet he loved driving that in high school.
Hi Greg, I think he likes driving this in High School and still enjoys every time he drives it now :-) Lou
What a treat to see Terry's family car, Lou.
My favorite year for the GTO.
You feature some of the nicest enthusiast's, too.
Take care...
Hi Dave, Happy to read this is your favorite year for the GTO :-) Glad to read you're enjoying the people I share with you, Lou
Hey Lou! Oh man, this GTO is real special, man. What a natural all American beauty right there. To say I am in my stocking feet is an understatement, big bro. WHOOSH>>>>>>>WHOOSH go those floppy sneakers through that Illinois countryside and so easily caught by you and Terry by just extending a hand during that awwwwesome drive 🤣😜. Hold onto those boys for me, would ya lol 😂? You can see the fine build quality and just beautiful attention to detail and style that these 60's Pontiacs had, my God. A real treasure she is. Thanks for this awesome video, big brother Lou. ⚾JV Johnny
Hey JV Johnny, Happy to share this "natural all American beauty" with you :-) ....the extended one hand grab on the sloppy sneaker......NICE! Glad you're along for the ride. You're welcome, Lou
One of my favorite yrs and colors 🏆. Makes me feel young seing it. Thanks Terry and Lou 👍
I think cars keep us young :-) You're welcome David.
Great owner. Great Car. Great Story. Hard to go wrong with the Great One. Thanks Lou!
Hi Brian SD, Happy to read you enjoy this Owner, Car and Story :-) You're welcome, Lou
I was born in 67. That's my dream car. My dad had a 64. Absolutely beautiful.💙
Hi Lincoln's Ghost, Happy to read "That's my dream car" :-) Glad to read your Dad had a cool car. Was this like your Dads? Lou ua-cam.com/video/0g07GPDDguA/v-deo.html
@@loucostabile Lou, I honestly don't remember. He sold it around 1970 or so. I do recall him saying that my mom had a hard time holding in the clutch, with both feet, at stop lights (LoL, my mom was about 5' 95 lbs) and I had a little sister on the way. So I guess it wasn't a very practical family car. He bought a Volvo and never looked back. But don't think for a minute he didn't put an exhaust and a few other tweaks on that car 😉. Boys will be boys, rest his soul.💙
My favorite year for the GTO.
Happy to read this is your favorite year GTO :-)
Great GTO, love the color and the rally wheels - thanks guys great job.
Hi Bruce H., Happy to read you enjoy this "Great GTO" :-) You're welcome, Lou
A friend of mine had a red 67 G.T.O. On Saturday nights he would lay a $100 bill on the dash, if you could grab it as he went through the gears you could have it. No one ever got the $100 bill. Thanks Lou... Awesome car. 👍
Hi Larry, Happy to read this car brings back memories of your Friends car :-) Thank you for viewing, sharing, and you're welcome, Lou

Hi John, Happy to read you're enjoying the cars I enjoy sharing with you. You're welcome, Lou
I believe this is the first car that you didn't have the owner press the brakes and give it a little rev Lou. Sure is a great car and video. 56 years ago and it looks brand new.
You're right Danny, this car looks brand new.
"Little GTO! You're really lookin' fine, three deuces and a four-speed, and a three-eighty-nine!"
:-)
BEAUTIFUL GOAT!!!! Brings back memories of my older cousin Greg. He had a similar car, it was my first ride in a muscle car. I might have been 10-12 years old at the time. I've been hooked ever since. Never did own a G.T.O. Though I have owned my Super Bee since 1985, not too bad. Thank you for another fantastic car and a great story!
Hi Wayne, High praise for the looks of this GOAT!!!! Happy to read this car brings back memories of your Cousin Greg's car :-) Thank you for viewing, sharing, and you're welcome, Lou

The most attractive GTO of them all in my opinion. Just a darn shame the brand was discontinued..😢
Hi Alan, Happy to read "The most attractive GTO of them all in my opinion" :-) Lou
One of my cousins had the same identical car but it had a 4 speed manual transmission. He wasn't too happy that my '57 Ford always out performed his '67 GTO.

My first car was in 1970 Lemans in the same color Gold. It had the 326 engine. I up graded to GTO 4 Barrel Carb from a GTO.
Hi Jeffrey, Happy to read this car brings back memories of your cars :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
My cousin cruised around Long Island with my mom's '67 Firebird. His friend had the same GTO in your review here and my cousin said they looked lije a matching set.

Beautiful GTO! Just stunning. Great Car Story behind it.
Thanks for this one - and thanks for bringing this video out from the archives.
Hi Jeff, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this GTO and the story too :-) You're welcome, Lou
I love the color. Something I hardly ever say
Happy to read this one has a color you "love" :-)
Wow! Listen to that engine! Look at that style! Everywhere you look on this car there are jewel-like accents and details. Remember when GM led vehicle styling with beauty clearly visible to the eye? Now GM is a design disaster factory where each new product shows less evidence of designers with working eyesight. I can't believe how GM has fallen since this car rolled off the assembly line. Amazing car and story. Thanks for a great channel, Lou!
Hi ultraviolet tp, Happy to receive a "Wow!" from you for this car :-) Good news! Those cars you enjoy from years gone by are all right here on this Channel for you and I to enjoy. You're welcome and glad you're along for the ride, Lou
Just saw a 65 GTO that color at a car show this summer. One beautiful 67 there, thanks Lou!
Hi Brian, Happy to read this one brings memories of the 65 you saw this summer :-) You're welcome, Lou
Great car.....thanks Lou
You're welcome Tim.
Beautiful car Lou thanks.
You're welcome Leroy.
Perfection! A favorite color combo for me......and to know they had a '64, '65 also. And so glad to see it restored to original. Thanks for sharing your car, Terry. Thanks for bringing it, Lou!
Hi K B, Happy to read "Perfection!" :-) You're welcome, Lou
Gorgeous car

Great car, nothing like the 67 GTO
:-)
Amazing car! Thanks for the video.
Hi Tracy J., Happy to read "Amazing car!" :-) You're welcome, Lou
Cool 67 GTO it's great to see a Chicago one restored that had to be a labor of love with all the rust they develop over the years I keep it out of the salt after that
Hi Larry, Happy to read you enjoy this "Cool" car :-) Lou
Loved that his n her shifter
But would have been cool to have the owner mention that it was kinda a rare option
Hi Chris, Happy to read you enjoy the shifter :-) Lou
Hard thing about a classic: you love to drive them but don't want to add miles; my classic hit 24,000 miles last week, broke my heart. Fantastic car, thanks to you both
Hi Steve, I have to say I tend to like to drive them :-) Happy to read you enjoy this "Fantastic car" :-) You're welcome, Lou
Great goat, thanks Lou
Hi acts2211, Happy to read you enjoy this "Great" car :-) You're welcome, Lou
Interesting thing I learned Lou. The 1967 GTO was the first American car to have a plastic grill. I guess it was considered higher tech then as my 1968 GTX has a plastic grill. The cheaper Belvedere/Satellite had a metal grill.
Hi drippinglass, Thank you for sharing what you learned. Lou
My 69' Roadrunner had a metal grill.
hi lou, well thats my kind of car, what a great looking GTO that guy is very lucky to be able to have a nd restor it to its beautiful condition,great show Lou.👍👍.
Hi Philip, Happy to read "well that's my kind of car" :-) Lou
Thanks!
Hi Michael, SUPER THANK YOU FOR THE SUPER THANKS! It's appreciated, Lou
Fine machine.
Nice :-)
Nice GTO! Glad i grew up with these cars 😊
Happy to read you enjoy this "Nice GTO!" :-)
This guy has to be in his early seventies but looks like he’s in his mid fifties,how does he look so young
.....it's the cars that keep him young :-)
I also Like The 1965 ❤ It
Here you go :-) ua-cam.com/video/dAfLCN6lE0I/v-deo.html
Just perfect///
High praise :-)
Lou as best as you know did he re-plate those chrome bumpers ? Im curious how much that cost nowadays, alone trying to find a place to do it.
David, I'm not sure if Terry re-plated them, but seeing this car is "over the top" I'm guessing they are re-chromed. Not sure how much it costs, and hoping a Viewer can share knowledge, Lou
damn!.. just beautiful
Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-)
I was 17 when I bought mine in 74 with 59,000 on the clock. I paid 800.00 bucks for it. By the time the car had 76,000 it was done. I raced it to death. I destroyed the front end bushings by rocking it to pull wheelies in the Los Alamitos mall parking lot (Orange County, CA). One of my favorite all-time cars. I was just a young, dumb, stupid kid. So surprised I did not kill myself in it.

Hello Lou I have a question are you familiar with a Car Guy by the name of Steve Mag? Magnante

Nice :-)
i like gto.
Me too :-)
What's the story on the Dodge Viper?
Here is the story on that car. ua-cam.com/video/_cVNSu5xv6Y/v-deo.html
@@loucostabile Hi Lou, great video! In my town of Fresno, CA, I think that we have more Vipers than an area our size should have. About 6 or 8 of them would show up at local car shows, just to show off. They would all be parked in a line right in the middle of things.
A local guy was the first one on the block to get a Viper roadster when they came out. A bunch of people were at an area race track showing off their cars. People were needling him to step on it, and with a few too many drinks, he took them up on it. Well, he ended up loosing control and slid into a wall. The car was a pile of rubble, but it went to a local body shop where a friend of mine worked.
The estimated, and I remind you, estimated, was $30K. The insurance said OK. Well, it ended up taking more than double that amount and the car could have been replaced for about the repair cost. Nobody was happy. Everybody got paid.
He ended up selling the car to a guy in Texas, who drove it all the way back there.
He took his money and put it into a new Viper coupe, which had just come out. He had an in with the Dodge boys so he was able to jump the line.
Oh! Tell your wife that the reason there is no mirror on the passenger sunvisor is because if she was using one to put make-up on, if you floored it, like make-up might get on her face alright, but probably where she intended to put it!
💯👍😎👍💯
