1967 Pontiac Tempest GTO Coupe

  • Chassis Number: 242177P135564
This car was finished on November 10, 1966 and was shipped new to Seifert Pontiac in Denver, Colorado. The car was finished in 'Special Paint' (Code #1) of Tiger Gold. It was a contest winning car for a marketing scheme to attract young male buyers. Jim Wangers, Pontiac's advertising man and marketer behind the GTO project, approached the Melville Shoe Company - makers of the Thom McAn brand - with an idea for a campaign that would help increase sales for both parties involved. Ads were printed proclaiming 'Thom McAn is giving away a $4,100 car just to get you to look at a $10.99 shoe.' A coupon was included in the ad, which could only be submitted in person at a Thorn McAn store. One car was to be awarded for each U.S. state, each finished in Tiger Gold. By the time the contest ended, however, the '66 model year was over and winners were instead given vouchers for the value of the '66 GTO to apply to a new '67 Pontiac.

The contest was a success, and Pontiac arranged for a second contest to give away about 22 GTOs for 1967.

This car was won by a lady from Colorado who found the car a little overwhelming, and therefore traded it in at Denver's Porter Pontiac for one more suited to her needs. Rito Vargas became the cars next owner, and would remain with him for many years. It was later stolen but recovered in 1979. After that, it was left, exposed to the elements with engine damage.

Bryan Stumbaugh discovered the car in 1992 in a salvage yard. He purchased the car and began a restoration throughout his college years, rebuilding the original WS-code 360 horsepower 400 cubic-inch H.O. motor, which needed a sleeved cylinder, crankshaft, two rods, windage tray and oil pan. He later discovered that this was a Thom McAn GTO. As a result, he decided to completely restore the car; the work was completed in 2005. Upon completion, it was featured on the cover of High Performance Pontiac in December 2007.

As per factory specifications, the car comes equipped with AM radio, door edge guards, Rally I wheels, custom sport steering wheel, electric clock, power front disc brakes, red inner fender, wood shift knob, Ride & Handling Package, front and rear mats, F70X14 redline tires, Safe-T-Track, four-speed transmission and, of course, the H.O. 400 V8 with a dealer-installed hood tachometer.

In 2010, this car was offered for sale at the 'Automobiles of Amelia Island' event presented by RM Auctions. The car was estimated to sell for $120,000 - $140,000. As bidding came to a close, the high bid of $80,000 was not enough to satisfy its reserve. It would leave the auction unsold.
