1969 Pontiac GTO Royal Bobcat Coupe

In 1969, dealers were enjoying a boom in Muscle Car sales. With a wide range of offerings and a strong market, dealers were fighting for the attention of America's male. There was hardly anything around that could offer as much recognition and respect as Royal Bobcat Pontiac.

In the late 1950's Royal Pontiac in Royal Oak, Michigan began offering modifications for new cars enhancing performance. As attention on the small dealer grew with their racing efforts, upgrades and package offerings expanded. Royal Bobcat GTO's would command respect, and with the new tunnel port heads offered directly through Pontiac Motor Division, the word was on the streets.

This 1969 Royal Bobcat GTO is the actual car originally ordered by Pontiac General Manager John DeLorean and later assigned to Ad Executive Jim Wangers. Wangers knew that with some creative tuning and the use of the best performance parts, this GTO would become legendary. Featured in countless magazines, it served as a development vehicle and was feared on the streets.

In 1980, this car was sold to the current owner and used as a daily driver. After graduating from high school, this legendary car would be restored by the owner and his father. It has numerous 'Day 2' modifications, including the ultra-rare and desirable Ram Air V heads. It is acknowledged to be one of the most authentic and documented Royal Bobcat GTO's ever built, and is the actual factory test car.
