It is time for someone else to enjoy this beast. I have sweat over, bled on and cursed at this car since 2006. My son learned to turn a wrench on this car. It left he and I stranded in the early years of ownership, and we have some good memories with it. All, of that being said, it is time for something else. My first car was a 69' Camaro, and i have stumbled upon one that needs some TLC. I only have a two car garage, so the Goat will need to go. Many of you have seen the car in print, there is a build thread here on PT.

A lot has been done to it since my last post. The engine was freshened up earlier this year with a new block. I lost all oil pressure at the 2014 Good Guys autocross, which required a rebuild. The new engine has 1,000 miles on it, the car has 2,781 miles on the rebuild. The 2004R was installed the same time as the rebuilt engine.

69’ GTO (True GTO, NO Clone)
Factory Front Disc Brake Car
Factory A/C Car (No longer installed, but have the pieces)
Non-numbers matching engine. (A 70 ‘ 400 Block was used for the stroker build)
I have PHS Documentation for the car (Pontiac Historical Services)


Engine:

Iron Block 400 punched 35 over.

Eagle Stroker kit making the displacement a 461 cu. In.
The Heads are Kauffman Racing Equipment Aluminum that have been ported and polished to flow 305 CFM by SD Performance .

The Cam is a 230/236 dur @ .050" lift .590"/.592" lift with 1.52 ratio rockers 114 lobe separation.

The rockers are PRW 1.65 which makes the lift over .600.
The valve train is hydraulic roller.
The fuel system consists of a Carter Mechanical Pump.
It feeds an 800 CFM Q-Jet that sits on an Edelbrock Performer RPM intake.
Exhaust is handled through Indian Adventures 1 3/4” headers dumped into a Pypes 2.5” exhaust system with an X-pipe, and Race Pro Mufflers.
This was dyno’d at KP racing without being tuned, and with worn out cylinders giving 420/430 at the rear wheels. This was going through a Power Robbing TH400.



The engine has since been freshened up, and is now transmitting power through a built 2004R.

You can drive this car anywhere, it corners surprisingly flat, with very little body roll and the ride is extremely smooth. It did not lose any of its great highway manners with the suspension upgrades.
The car has 2,781 miles on the build, the engine refresh has 1,000 miles on it.
The build is a little over two years old. It is not a garage queen. I drive it as much as the weather allows. It does not get driven in the rain.
It is garage kept, and covered with a soft car cover that is included with the sale.
There are extra parts with this sale such as moldings, A/C Parts, a Q-jet Carburetor, extra engine pulleys as well as miscellaneous pieces.



This car was featured in the May 2014 issue of Popular Hot Rodding Magazine.



It is the Cover Car for the SA/Design/Car Tech Book: How to Make Your Muscle Car Handle.

Are you fishing for compliments or trying to sell the car? Extraneous comments are generally discouraged in the For Sale section. GLWS.
